thanks mate, I didnt think so

mechanic wants to charge me 3 hours of labour to change castor bushings/Z radius rod, is this right? He says they need to be presses out, I have a V6 VT. Thanks for your advice

I took the glove box out and the blower fan and stuck a hose up there, sprayed the condensor and caught all dirty water in a bucket, now she blows strong

How do you use a pipe clamp? thanks

Mine looked the same, the transmission cooler (attached to side of rad) had a small crack and was leaking into the coolent. New rad from repco $240 and new coolent fixed the prob. Manifold gasket also likely.

VT V6 putting a series 2 radiator in a series 1? yes/no? can this be done? series 2 radiator is cheaper just has two oil coolers instead of one... cheers

looking for a radiator to fit a 99 VT V6 quickly! any one got one they want to sell? cheers

thanks mate, I looked there but figured there was a wire mesh over it and that not many leaves would get down there, did your mate have a screen on his? I will check again, maybe put a vacuum down it!

Can anyone tell me where the air intake flap on the heater is? (other posts talk about putting a vacuum cleaner down it to suck out leaves). My vents blow air poorly and I am trying to unclog the system...anyone got a list of places to check?

where exactly is the intake flap on a VT? cheers

vaccum lines I think the others might be saying to trace back the vacuum lines from the centre console to a box(vac tank) on the left of the blower fan. There are two or three black lines that go into the box. If you run the car and unplug any of them you should hear a hissing sound...
