    Does the 2009 Ford Territory Ghia 4x4 have a timing belt or chain?
    Answered by David Morley · 5 February 2024

    All versions of the Ford Territory form this era used the inline six-cylinder 'Barra' engine from the Ford Falcon. This engine used a timing chain rather than a toothed rubber belt. The chain should be good for the life of the engine and should not need replacing.

    How do I replace the lower ball joints in my 2009 Ford Territory?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 15 September 2017

    They should be pressed out; bashing them out will most likely damage the control arms. Take the arms to a local mechanic and have him press them out.​​

    Used Ford Territory review: 2004-2015
    By Ewan Kennedy · 30 March 2016
    Ford Territory is arguably the best vehicle ever designed by Ford Australia. Indeed some even say it may be the best automotive design in Australia bar none. Territory is based on the Ford Falcon and shares some of its mechanical components, particularly in the powertrain, but many parts are unique to the big wagon.

    Used Ford Territory review: 2009-2011
    By Graham Smith · 18 September 2014
    Jenny Cerroti is looking to buy a second hand car to replace the one that was recently written off. She needs a biggish car, as she drives long distances with teenagers and their surfboards, and often tows a trailer. She likes the high driving position of a four-wheel drive, but it doesn’t have to be four-wheel

    Territory F6X long-term parts supply
    Answered by Paul Gover · 26 July 2014

    I believe the three local makers will maintain their commitment to owners long after they stop manufacturing. In your case, the credit goes to Ford's Stephen Kruk who was straight onto the problem.

    2009 Ford Territory steering column replacement
    Answered by Graham Smith · 9 January 2014

    It is a common problem on the Territory and the Falcon and Ford will only supply the full column assembly. Crazy. It's out of warranty, so you will have trouble getting Ford to fix it at their cost, although you could try getting them to pay at least for part of the repairs. Other than that go to a Ford wrecker and have them install a used switch for you at a much reduced cost.

    2009 Ford Territory whistling sound
    Answered by Carsguide.com.au · 19 July 2013

    From what you describe you should be able to hear it if you lift the bonnet and from that you should be able to isolate it to a particular part of the car. If you can do that you can fix it. Take it to a mechanic.

    Answered by Graham Smith · 6 October 2011

    Start with your dealer and point out what you are concerned about. If you want to strengthen your case you could call in an independent expert to examine your car and report on the repairs. One you could consult is Graeme Cuthbert on 0422 444 335.
