Hey guys, I saw a puff of smoke come from the centre of the dashboard after that the A/C, headunit and hazardlights no longer work. The car runs fine expect those, just wondering if anyone has had this problem before? Or if anyone can list the possibilities. Engine bay, boot and incar fuses look...

Ok so I got a series 1 dz, and the Aeropro kit is a no go. Damn the Alpine HVAC control module looks ugly. Is it possible to get a double din of my own choosing professionally installed or am I out of luck on that as well?

No IQ fitted on my VE unfortunately. I see what you mean now about the looks. This keeps getting depressing the more I look into it. Nah no drama's looking for part numbers buddy, I'll figure something out :/

Ouch, So I have to downgrade in order to upgrade my headunit fmd holden. By "end result isn't great." what do you mean by that sorry? A parts list would be great yes please. What I really want to do is throw in a double din headunit for now, than upgrade later on down the line. I'd prefer to...

Hey guys, I'm in need of a little help please. I want to upgrade the headunit on my 08 VE Calais, I believe I have a series 2 due to the dual zone headunit. I've read on forums and google, but I keep coming up with series 1 to series 2 conversions (not what I'm after). So is there anything out...

Sorry my apologies, they're 20's

Hey guys, I live in VIC, just wanted to know how low can my VT legally go? I've got VE GTS series 1 rims, 245s for the back. 225s for the front. Can I get SSL all around?

Cheers for the advice fellas, problem solved. Had heaps of room to work with without removing the radiator.

Oh sweet, yeah a mate of mine suggested changing the thermostat a week before I found this leak so i'll do that as well. Thank you for the help fellas. P.S Am I taking out the radiator to change the water pump? or can I leave it in and just work around that small space?

oh sweet, is it a big job? cost much if a mechanic does it? Do I have to pull the whole engine out, etc...?

Hey guys, Just need a little help. I have a water leak in the front of my engine on my 98 vt. Right under that wheel in the middle. It's hard to see whats under there, but could anyone tell me if there is a hose or something that I can replace to stop the leak?

thank you for the info bro. Much appreciated.

Hey guys, Does anyone know what the colour/code is for the bottom of the calais? e.g http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc21/evilslikz/091002_175935.jpg

I got this for the door http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MzMzWDQ5OQ==/z/yhwAAOSwd4tT2puc/$_35.JPG but still no luck.

I'm pretty confident the wiring side is good, I'll double check though + I'll remove the actuator and clean it and I'll keep you guys updated.

Do you think its the drivers side solenoid actuator playing up? I can hear it trying to lock but it sounds like its sticky or struggling to move? Would WD40 work on the actuator?

boot & bonnet are securely locked, switches on doors seems fine. I'll triple check though.

Hey all, When I press the the lock on my remote, none of the locks on the doors go down to lock. - Horn beeps once, doors don't lock. - Can still open the doors with the alarm activated. I've currently got all the side panels off of the doors to work on it today, just cant figure out...

Sorted cheers brother! I saw your post earlier and was using it as a guide but iunno I got confused but glad its working.

Quick update, Left Green - Right Green - Reverse light works but left side indicator doesn't stay on in reverse like it does on right.

Damn left hand reverse light, Alright I've read a few places on here but still don't get it. What I've done so far is - Green wire right to Blue/red wire Left = no light shows up when reverse. - Green wire right to green wire left = reverse light shows up when you brake, no light when...

you were both right, faulty ground wire didn't see the marked "faulty" at the bottom of the box neither did the suppliers. Returned and got some new ones from them.

So I bought me some Angel eyes off Ebay Holden Commodore VT Angel Eyes Halo Chrome Head Lights | eBay Everything works fine except the rings which is the main reason I bought these. I tried looking around the forums but some say do this, some say do that but I'm getting lost. 98 Calais

thanx buddy ill keep this for future references. LOL!!!

Legend, You were right, swapped the wires over and joined them together and the head unit stays on. Right about the blown fuse as well, just heading up to the servo to get another one. Fingers crossed that the head unit holds memory. Getting sick and tied of setting it up, been doing so every...

LOL cheers for the info bud, I'll make the changes now and let you know it goes soon.

Hey guys, Ok I've read in a few places on here about the red/yellow wires. I'm a bit confused and I've had my head unit installed by a mate. Happens when I turn the car off. Here are a few photos to give you an indication of where I'm at atm. If you guys need any more pictures or information...

cheers dude, i'll check it out and let you know asap.

Hey, I'm having issues with my aircon. The air won't blow out through the front (head) only on the windscreen. So I took off the Dash fascia and noticed there was a white door that's not opening. I've used a screwdriver to force it open which takes a bit of force and can't see the hinges to...

Is this possible? I'm looking at this ignition barrel on ebay Holden Commodore VT VX VU VY VZ Ignition Barrel Keys | eBay then looking at the VE key VE Holden Commodore Compatible Remote Flip KEY Shell | eBay Is there something I'm missing? Whats involved?

cheers for the reply. The rear bumper is easy to replace just tried it at the wreckers on another Calais. Going to have to buy new ones for the doors/side panels though :( 4mm X 5M Silver CAR Moulding Trim Interior Speakers Grill Vent Door Adhesive OZ | eBay For replacing the rear bumper...

hey guys, I'm wanting to replace the chrome parts around my calais excluding window moulds. e.g http://www.members.iinet.net.au/~reccie/fearscope3.jpg Just wondering if anyone else has done this before? Is this possible or will I have to buy new bumpers + sides?

Hey all, I got quite a few small and light scratches on my VT. I was wondering which way do I go, in order to get them removed and looking like a show off car? This VT will be my pride and joy and I'm not looking for a temporary fix. Also price range for either a respray or detailing if...
