    AIR CON not working!!!!!!!

    The pressure guage is on the receiver/dryer, which is mounted in front of the radiator and beside the A/C condensor. There are two connectors just to the left of the radiator (in my VR SII Berlina anyways), one is for the engine cooling fan, the other is for the pressure switch. Making sure...

    whats the differnces between VS-VR

    I'd say go with the VR, fuel economy with the VR was heaps better than the VS,the downside is there isnt as much go-fast gear available for the earlier engine, compared top the eco-tech. I believe that the VR was the most economical of all the commodores. (Mine certainly is, VR SII Berlina...

    ?? / 100kms

    Krikey, you lot get crap fuel economy! I have a SII 95 VR Berlina (According to the plate in the engine bay, it was built on the 21st of April, 1995, so it must be close to one of the last of the VR's to come off of the production line) and I get just under 1000K's a tank out on the...

    Shudder under acceleration

    It's the centre bearing in the tail shaft..... Get it replaced and all should be fine. FWIW, if you get a shudder on slow down, its usually the centre bearing dying too. simple to fix, if you have some experience. Hope this helps

    A bit sick sometimes?

    Get a compression test done, it sounds like you have a coupla hydraulic valve lifters that are blocked or worn out. (I am assuming here that you have the 5 Litre V8 and it has a fair few K's on it, they were notorious for this fault, in fact, all the plastics were when they have a coupla...

    Towing a Falcon with a VR V6

    As the ford weighs pretty much the same as the dunnydore, it would be illegal for either car to tow the other in any state. Max towed weight is not to exceed the towing vehicles weight at all. (In fact, in most states the max towed weight is to be no more than half the towing vehicles weight.)...

    VR ACCLAIM or a better type of VR

    Get a Berlina, that way you get the digital dash, the climate control, fast glass and all the mod cons. (And most have ABS) I purchased my VRii Berlina 3 months ago for $4250.00 with 6 months rego, a brand new engine and reco gearbox. It needed a bit of work to get it the way i like it, but...

    157 for a cai is that good or to dear

    Mate, goto your local Holden dealer!!! I paid $92.37 for the CAI including the base of the airbox. All genuine! (And with factory warranty) Ask for the CAI + lower airbox for a supercharged VS, it fits all models back to VN no worries.

    Power steering pump?

    9 times out of ten the major oil leak is the rubber O ring around the base of the oil tank on top of the pump leaking. Its a 30 cent O Ring. Either that, or the high pressure hose weeps from where the flexible hose is crimped onto the metal pipes. I was quoted by the local enzed crowd...
