Hi Anyone know if there is a Holden Astra / Vectra web site like this one ? Im replacing my rear brake pads on my girlfriends Astra and have come on a problem I have not seem before. Normally you pull the caliper off and use a G clamp to drive the piston back. The Astra sucker will...

On my VL the blower works on 3 and 4 speed but no longer on 1 and 2 Any idea where the resistors are or what else might be causing this ?. regards

Seems it did not have enough in it when I drained it - put 1 litre back i n and it seems to run fine. The problem is that when i check the dipstick when hot / in park etc it seems like it shows being over full, hence the question what the level is when cold. Of interest when I did the...

I did a auto trans oil change a few weeks ago and think I over filled it. After this once in a while it was acting a bit weird eg when you stopped at lights and started rolling again, it would seem to stay in neutral for a few seconds and then jump. I've now drained about 500 ml out but...

Thanks so no gas (vaccum) probably means the low pressure switch (assuming it has one) is cutting out the compressor clutch ? regards

I realise this is not a commodore but anyone got a elect diagram for the air cond on a TS Atsra 1999. Ive reoplaced the clutch (old one was dead) but now the unit will not work anyway when the air cond button is pressed. I have not regassed it so does this mean the low / high pressure...

Okay but this does not really help me. Local Holden dealer says the part is no longer available. Is it a screw in or push in fitting given the engine mount would get in the way if its a screw in. Mark

Does anyone one have any tips for replacing the front heater tap on a VL 3.0 Mine has rustd out so it was leaking coolant. This is the one just behind the water pump and also has a connector to the manifold (I guess to use water to heat or cool it) Looking at it unless it is a bash in job...

Did you ever scan and upload the section of Vls and where Markvl

fixed Oil in the distributor causing the CAS to misfire and then stop (when the oil covered the light sensors, disk) Another problem I found was a light show on the spark leads, even though they are less than 12 months old (Repco). I suspect this is causing the misfiring at idle.

I have a 1987 Vl 3.0 Over the last few months, it starts fine cold, runs okay for say 20 minutes, starts to misfire and then dies. Leave it for a few hours and the same thing happens - also no spark when it dies. Sometimes it will get me home on what seems like about 2-3 cylinders. Other...
