The Ford Falcon, specifically the EF and EL generations produced from 1994 to 1998, represents a significant evolution of Ford Australia's iconic sedan and station wagon platform. Building upon the established EA/EB/ED Falcon architecture, these models offered refined styling, enhanced interiors, and updated technology, catering to a broad range of consumer needs from the GLi and Futura to the more performance-oriented Fairmont, Fairmont Ghia, XR6, and XR8 variants. These vehicles were powered by robust 4.0L MPEFI Inline-6 or 5.0L SPEFI V8 engines, paired with either a BTR 4-speed automatic or a T50D 5-speed manual transmission, embodying a blend of Australian engineering prowess and practical automotive design for everyday use and spirited driving.
This comprehensive workshop service repair manual provides in-depth technical information and procedural guidance for the Ford Falcon EF/EL series. Its scope covers all essential aspects of vehicle maintenance, diagnosis, and repair, including detailed engine mechanicals for both Inline-6 and V8 configurations, fuel and ignition systems, transmissions (automatic and manual), drivetrain, suspension, steering, braking systems, and extensive electrical and body system coverage. The manual is designed to empower owners, independent repair shops, and professional automotive technicians by offering step-by-step rebuild procedures, troubleshooting charts, wiring diagrams, and specific diagnostic information, ensuring the longevity and optimal performance of these vehicles.
