    got a new vl

    as nath said it would be your overdrive engaging and disengaging and with the revving and bouncing it is probably stuffed. pwr button works all the time hot or cold. on the vl's I have owned they usually don't go into fourth or overdrive until it is warmed up.

    Mags center cap issue

    that would be the answer there, you will need smaller dust caps or maybe spacers behind the wheels.

    Slow Cranking when cold

    check your battery fluid levels the plates should be covered, if the top of the plates are visable and exposed top up as required, with disstilled water or boil your kettle.

    VL Rough Idle, Stalls under acceleration!

    just more sugestions, make sure the aac valve is clean and moving freely, a dirty throttle body will play up with light acceleration, so clean the inside of your throttle body with carby/throttle body cleaner (use heaps of it)and a tooth brush,scrub all around. for a better clean it is...

    Rear wiper for Wagon

    I'm sorry, I don't know how much or if there is a differance between wagon and sedan. I suggested this as I have never heard a clicking under the dash, mine does not do that, and that both washer and wiper do not work. the other thing is that they are a real pain to get off too because all the...

    Rear wiper for Wagon

    put 12v at the motor and see if it works, it seems strange that the washer doesn't work either, which is why I suggest the windscreen module.

    Rear wiper for Wagon

    under the dash above the bonnet release is a black box mounted on the car body, it is your windscreen module, it controls everything for your front and rear windscreens, including wipers washers and demisters. ian94mt, it sounds like your squirter or hose is blocked, usually you can just...

    Vl starting, cranking over but not firing on first go

    also you could take out the aac valve (round solenoid at the back of the plenum) (take it out slowly as it has a spring in it.) and give it a clean and makesure it is operating freely, this is a major part of your automatic choke. if this car has only done 140ks I would think it is a bit...

    Need Help Badly....Vl Fuel System

    the return line has broken off the inside of the tank and is sitting in the fuel causing the gurgling/bubbling sound. they are only attached with a small spot weld and it is very common for the vl to do this, you will notice the noise gets louder as the fuel level gets lower.

    VL wagon upgrade

    ditch the rb30 drop the 20 in ftw! there is no difference between wagon and sedan as far as running gear goes. same engine and trans mounts tailshaft and diff (diff control arms are different).

    VL Wagon

    good to see you got what you paid for, people can be dishonest when selling cars. many things were upgraded in the vl for the better in later models, alternator, 3 core radiator, power steer pump and lines, dash cluster with tacho and oil pressure, colour coding just to name a few.

    need HELP asap

    no doubt it is a rocker cover leak, you can try and tighten the rocker cover but the gasket is probably stuffed and needs replacing and it is an easy job no special tools or mechanical knowledge needed.

    VL Wagon

    check your compliance plate, it should read MODEL:*8VL35-____ for berlina wagon or *8VK35 for SL, exec wagon.

    1986 Automatic - Faulty T-Bar PWR button, what to troubleshoot???

    the pwr button cancels 4th and overdrive, and as above it changes the shift pattern, it is used for towing and going uphill because you don't want overdrive (lockup torque converter) to engage when towing because it will ruin your trans and labour your engine. pwr is not there as a booster...

    How often do you drink? (Now with added zero option)

    just to clarify my coment "too many zeros" is not a judgment, I don't judge or care if you drink or not. I just find it a suprising result considering this is australia, and apparently we "are all drunk bogans" I also choose not to go clubbing, imo that sucks and I can only imagine being there...

    How often do you drink? (Now with added zero option)

    I can't believe these results too many zeros. for me it is everyday after 2:30pm, I'm not saying how much! I don't get hung over because I manage my food and water to not dehydrate.

    Appeal for Assistance – Mount Isa couple missing from Cairns DISTINCT GREEN PANEL VAN

    that is messed up that you would KILL a lovely couple just because they own a nice rare car. this is a sad world that we live in that life and death could balance on the type of car you own and drive. just because of greedy scum bags that can't earn or get something like it.

    Consolidating your super

    bonus, it was all covered by your fund management fees! you gotta get something in return, Aye.

    Consolidating your super

    that's great, but by the sounds of it the op doesn't have an agent. Agent = $$$ diy is free and it's pretty hard to stuff it up. jp verification is free also, go to the post office and they charge you $5 for verification.

    Consolidating your super

    choose the super fund you want to consolidate to. contact them and get the super roll over form, fill it out with trhe details of all your super funds and get a verified copy of ID e.g. drivers licence photocopy and verified by a JP. then send it all to the superfund and they will do the rest.

    Do You Think Cyclists Belong On The Road?

    in who's scenario?, I was refering to your post regarding beeping at cyclists and sticking your finger up at them because they were merging into your lane. LEGALLY!

    Do You Think Cyclists Belong On The Road?

    Yeah, nice try, the law does not allow you to use the warning device to beep at cyclists or other road users just because you don't like the fact that they are in front of you and are going to merge into your lane considering the cyclist or vehicle in front of you has right of way, you know zip...

    Do You Think Cyclists Belong On The Road?

    well seeing how you have quoted obscure road laws such as traveling under the speed limit and holding up traffic, you would also be well aware about the laws regarding the correct use of a warning device, such as a horn. which you are using illegally. EDIT; what the hell CHECK AND MATE...

    Do You Think Cyclists Belong On The Road?

    you know you are supposed to look over your shoulder to check that don't you, even if it means SLOWING down. my 2c is there are some very poor attitudes on our roads wether it be cyclists or motorists, and as a professional driver I am well aware of this fact, so I live with it and get on...

    Peterbilt RIG2 Competition

    well futuristic or not they have to pick something that suits peterbilt and will SELL.

    THC... good for thee?

    man, WOW! stop taking your own medication and smoke a cone. screw the tablets and medicines, I say weed for everybody. use it in your own home under your circumstances. alchol and tobacco and medications do WAY more harm. this is my opinion!
