Introduction



Undoubtedly the most significant "facelift" of the "E" series Falcon was the "EF".

With the notable exception of the doors, the remaining panels were all new, and now the luxury Fairmont and Fairmont Ghia versions could be distinguished by completely different frontal treatments.

Mechanically, the EF utilized hydraulic engine mounts in combination with a new crankshaft (containing 12 counterweights).

The Ford engineers were able to extract an extra 16 additional kilowatts from an already efficient 4.0 litre engine.

With peak power of 157 kW (at 4900 rpm), this incarnation of the Falcon six comes close to matching the 5.0 litre V8's 165 kW!

Even the torque for the 6 was nearly compatible, now being 357 Nm compared to 388 for the V8.

The first Falcon I owned was a 1995 EF Futura in Biscane Blue. It was a cheap car to buy at 10k and it had a few issues with it that I fixed as time went on. The headlight switch was lose and sloppy, The drivers power window often missed the window frame as it came up. But the first thing I fixed was getting a spare wheel as the car didn't have one. I bought new headlights as the plastic had crazed and the headlights were yellow. Unlike today there were no headlight cleaning kits plus the new headlights from Ford (no internet either) were $180 each, some imported cars were $400 just for one complete headlight. It was a great car on cool to warm days but on hot days I had to switch the air con off for a strong smell of petrol came into the car. I took the car to many people but none could discover what was wrong. I sold the car privately when I bought my late model FG G6E Falcon.
My dad had Falcons over the years with an EAII wagon that he and mum towed a caravan round Australia over 12 months and it never broke down once. He also had an EB and later an EL. He'd also owned Cortinas, one Laser and his last car was a Focus. Once he moved into a retirement unit getting the EL Falcon into the garage was a squeeze as the garage was quite narrow hence the downsizing.
