F*** me. haha. Toggle to trip meter, just hit them (up and down at the same time) jobs done. The bloke that posted hold down etc.. Needs to buy a Ford. Politest way I could say the obvious!

8 Years since your post was made, my heart rate has now calmed and I know there is light for the future. THank you so much for this! Had someone hit the accelerator, not the brake and stuff up my coolant pipes. Now all I need to google is to find out how to get her to pay for it. I was in a...

VX Alarm problems.. Yes, as VT&VX said, "Don’t muck around with this switch..." I did touch the switch, hence some 9 months later I have just found the problem to my intermittent Alarm warnings. I didn’t use it for lighting or anything, but the original connection, which I pulled apart...

Thanks for the assistance. Making some calls now. Will let you know how I go. Also, not knowing much about paint, but if it was a 2 pack, how could the clear coat have sperated as it has on the VX?

So the weather has warmed up and my mate, qualified (retired) spray painter is ready. I was told to grab the paint and come down. 1 litre should do it. Clear coat has crazed on my 2001 VX Wagon. I sourced a local supplier (AutoPro) and they quoted me $300 for 2 litres, mixed in house...

Crikey! Not sure what to think about such a command.. I don't...

So back to this switch again. Wanting to put some lights in the Engine bay, and hoping to utilise this switch. Anyone have any ideas where/what these two wires lead to? I think I can see at least one of them coming up into the fuse box in the engine bay. I was hoping to find an empty plug...

Bumped this thread up as I am looking at applying some type of finish, sealant, to the concrete floor in my garage. It is not actually used for my car, more so, as a processing area where I roast a range of value added nuts that we manufacture. And before you start, after 20 years I think I...

Last week I installed an Amp, and wires under the passengers seat in the VX. After a week of study on Google, You Tube and this fine Forum, I removed the centre console, disconnected the Airbag (yellow) plugs and whipped out the seats. After installing the Amp, and thoroughly cleaning the...

Yes, my VX Acclaim has a slight green tint to it. I am glad you bought this up, as I am looking at getting my Wagon tinted, so will make sure the tinter does his maths.. In China, through regular visits, I have always been amazed by these anonymous, driverless cars. Vans even have a cut out...

Gotta agree with that. When I first got active on this forum, Uni's thread really got me hyped about doing things to my car, as stated, it inspired me. It's also been a resource for me, like when I had to change out Link Pins... Interior Globes...add some lighting... etc.. . Fords..? Well...

Was told that it would be best for my health if I did not drink alcohol anymore.. I used to love a drop, just a bit! Anyways, we visit China annually and have taken a liking to Chinese tea, good Chinese tea, hence have pretty well substituted one for the other. The box of tea pictured was a...

A trip to.....Bunnings?

If you don't mind me asking losh, why did it fail? Just curious as I recently watched this video about the very same thing..

The OP was inquiring about both. Just telling it like it is

Nice pics!! Moriati! Anyone? Hi, what did you use for your Traction and Power Buttons? I have all my stock cluster lights and HVAC lights working (VXAcclaim) apart from these two. Today I finally managed to get to the two switches, and what a task that is. Fortunately I was doing an amp...

My Makia 18V, (middle of the range battery, 3amp or thereabouts) Impact Driver will not take my nuts off.

Searched everywhere.. Looking for a definitive answer. Half installs here have 6.5" and other half have 6" speakers in the front doors. Will 6.5" fit VX Series II front doors without too much modification?

" .... then crawled under the ute and started winding down the spare wheel...." I cringed when I read that. I was hitchhiking back from Darwin, some many years ago. Great trip. 3 lifts from Darwin to Townsvile. First one put me up for the night, in Batchelor, some k's off the Hwy. Next...

That's nice..not to mention inspirational.. There's nothing like Servo' lights to being out the best in a paint job..

Hey Spud.. missed your post (s). I went with the kit below. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Hc-Wiring-Kit-8-Ga-Amp-Amplifier-Installation-Kit-2-Or-4-Channel-Power-Cable/281157354469?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 In retrospect perhaps I could have gone with the same as...

Thanks VT&VX. Not knowing enough, I was concerned there may not be enough air flow around the amp.

Just purchased myself a relatively cheap and simple 4 Ch Amp and am wondering the best place to locate it in a Station Wagon? Any ideas? As I use the car for work, all of the Cargo area, and the space in the back seat foot wells are taken up. I was thinking of under the passengers seat, (not...

Off topic, sort of...but for the little jobs I like Burgeon, non magnetised..... This one needs a sharpen/service... wooa.. these pics are huge.. sorry 'bout that!

I've got some, not sure how.. Just wondering.. Thanks

Thanks Rambunctious.. Putting in new headlights tomorrow, so will give this a try after. It's a good start, if not perfect.

I can see them on my end..still.. though strange messages on Photobucket site yesterday when posted. I'll put them up again, and hopefully mods can delete if double post.

I can't say it was an original thought, that has to go to Uniacidz https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/uniacidz-ride-vx-ss-monaro-themed.192433/page-20 So, after reading that great thread, I was down in the shed one night and saw some paint next to my keys and thought I would give it...

Perhaps I should add Inexperience also? Had the need to take my four wheels off, one at a time, in my driveway the other day. I got lazy, (smart I thought) and used my Makita Impact Driver to power the spindle on the Scissor Jack that came stock for my VX Wagon. All went as planned until I...

Thanks for the posts. Yeah, I couldn't work it out and after removing the old ones took it around to the local tyre and suspension place that a mate runs. He got his mechanic to fit them though as I presumed, did NOT use any bushes what so ever. I've put around 1000k's on them since withot a...

Hi All. I'm not the best mechanic, I can usually take things apart (you should see the blood on my arms after taking the old Link Pins out) and put them back, but in this case, I've gone from Link Pins with bushes, to link pins without bushes, that is, ball joints both ends, extra washers and...

Thanks for the clarification. Pulled the pin, so now all set.

Could you help me with this? I had a look at those that Juice Posted, and they say VR - VF. Will they fit my VX (Wagon), as Juice states? I also found these.. Genuine for VX...

I replaced the back shocks on my VX Wagon and it made such a difference I decided to change the Front. Got a pretty good price on 2 Monroe GT Gas Struts & Shock Absorbers ($234) and am wondering if I can get away with something like these (Machter) for around $50...

Whether it be places to buy tools and or accessories, or the more exotic car "yards?" I'm over here for our annual trip, (10th.) and grateful that "JustCommodores" is one of the few of my favourite websites that makes it behind the Bamboo Curtain. It's surprisingly one of the fastest sites...

Thanks all for the very polite replies. Sort of came to that conclusion these past days. Cars just not worth putting much money into. It's a work horse, the motor is comparitively sound, (recon. head 30,000ks) and has been serviced well. Over the next year or so, I'll do some study for a...

I'd suggest a Google site for Vin numbers Holden. I found this site below, though the info is somewhat inconclusive. https://www.uniquecarsandparts.com.au/holden_identification And this one.. https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/vin-decoding.198347/ K = SS?? Could be lucky!!

Evening all! I've been registered here for some years, though back then it was more of a hit and run affair. I've owned my VX Acclaim wagon (my 3rd Commodore) for around 4 years. I blew a head gasket and had the head shaved a year or so ago. Had 130k on it when I bought it, and now has...

Yeah, hehe, I've been watching this guy named Damon getting his Lambo wrapped (On YouTube). Different colour - design every season! Can't see it happenin on my VX though.. Check the pricing: http://www.ultimatecarwraps.com.au/wp-content/themes/reedwraps/pdf/wrap-pricing-guide.pdf
