it's actually quite dangerous and you've got to do it in a static free smoke free area and preferably out of sunlight or you could explode. I agree with buying a manual, they outline all this including the safety precautions you need to take so you don't hurt / catch fire. I also agree...

It's probably one of the coil packs going faulty. mine started doing this after I did a motor swap and I replaced the spark plugs and it ran real good once then when I started it next time, the problem was back. I replaced the entire DFI Module (Ignition Module) and coil packs from my original...

you can always test it. It's almost nothing to get it out of the bracket it sits in, but I needed a screwdriver to pry the plugs out. I've heard some of them are incompatible with some bcm's and it's a matter of matching up the last 3digits to something else. It's in the VS Service Manual...

Well there's your problem, lol

I think these use a different speedo in the cluster, I can't remember but there's auto clusters and manual clusters, then there's v8 clusters. Someone might correct me on this. You'd also need to get hold of the clutch pedal, clutch assembly, etc otherwise they are gonna charge you a million...

remove the bulb from the cluster. To help answer the above: I've got a VS Executive Wagon that didn't come out with air bags and I bought another one for spares (another VS Executive Wagon) recently that does have airbags and cruise control. Both these were an option on the VS Executives...

Mine used to sit around the 2nd notch on the highway nice and cool then get up to a 1/2 in traffic then the thermo kicks in and cooled it back down to half. Then after a round at the mechanics it started going up to 3/4's then coming back down to a half in traffic. On the highway it'd come...

There is a wire that sends the signal to the aerial. On your new head unit you might've had a wire called "Power Antennae" and on Kenwood stereos this is a blue wire. It sends a signal to the BCM and then the BCM controls the Power Antennae. When it doesn't receive a signal, it's always in...

I've done all this before.. e.g. Soldered up the dodgy cage version resistor and it turned out the blower fan itself has blown up. The best way to tell if it's the fan or the resistor is to simply get a testing light or multimeter onto the blower fan plug itself. This will also test the...

Unfortuneately it's probably too late to do anything about it. It's my word against his as well, but the best punishment is they've lost a whole families worth of business. We have 3 commodores that used to go there. What makes me really sick is how many people turn up to get their cars...

Bad Mechanic Experience & Power Steering Noise First some deep insight: Ok I've had my car for just over 3 years now, and because my car is lowered I hit a driveway / combo gutter head on and it broke my sump dropping all my oil. I stopped driving it at this point.... The car sat around...

I was really interested into looking into pulling my key apart and changing the battery over because I just wrecked a VS for a motor swap and my key head has died. I even looked considered changing the BCM because I have a good working keyhead and I could just unscrew and swap the keys over...

I've just completed the engine swap today. I bought one of those supercheap engine cranes. Pain in the butt to manuever through mud though with all this rain we been having, but it was good enough to give us enough time to do the swap, then it absolutely bucketed down, then I waited until 2 am...

There's a thread on how to do this: http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/vr-vs-holden-commodore-1993-1997/105061-how-replace-blower-fan-motor-vs.html?highlight=blower

Checkout my ride :)

If you're talking about the Heater Tap here then do NOT get one from a wreckers. They're only $30 brand new and they should be replaced with a new one always. I had one of these break / snap in half while just undoing the ring clamp around the top hose facing the front of the car. Evil Evil...

Ok I'm doing an Engine Swap from a VS Series 1 Executive Wagon to a VS Series 1 Executive Wagon. So far I've: removed the radiator, removed all hoses, heater tap etc taken off the drive belt undone the power steering dropped the power steering rack undone the manifold bolts undone the...

yeah I'm pretty sure they're all the same too VN - VS but yeah they're a pain to fix. I have to do mine too. Apparently from the VT they are a lot easier to do. Maybe because it's a common problem.

When you're removing the cluster, set the adjustable steering to the lowest and also most extended position. This helps the cluster go in and out really easily or you might find another adjustment that works. It shouldn't be that hard... Mainly because any fidgeting might damage the PCB on...

Hako, That site is really good!... Thank you very much!

according to sic_chick's stats, she joined in 2003 but hasn't had any activity since 1970... about 39 years ago... I'm guessing the 1970 date was from when it was reset in the big Just Commodore forum crash a couple of years ago... meaning she hasn't logged on for a long long time...

Nah it's a new code alright.... I made a mistake originally of connecting the battery and then checking the codes and only coming up with Code 12. I didn't realise that having the battery disconnected clears the codes... But then I started the car and then checked the codes and then it came up...

Hey there, thanks for your help... It hit me only just last night.. I was making a serious mistake.. I was connecting the battery then checking the light without turning the car on. So this morning, common sense caught up to me, and I connected the battery and then started the car... then...

Hey there, My VS is coming up with this engine code doing the jumper 5 to 6 thing. - Code 82 - 1 - 2 Shift Control Solenoid Fault - Auto Transmission Only What does this mean exactly? Is there a solonoid that controls the car going from 1st to 2nd or does it mean something else? Also...

I recently blew up my motor in my VS V6 and decided to find a doner car to get a motor out of. I found and bought the doner car (another VS V6 series 1) and the Check Engine stays on. I did the diagnostic test (shorted out Jumpers 5 & 6) and turned the ignition on. It reads 12...

bling bling! I love the holden mat in the back... the old and and the new. I'd probably leave the old in it for wagoning around and leave the black one for show! :D

I got hold of a CAI for the engine, but at the moment I have to fix my vent fan and also put in a new fan resistor as well at the cow panel (common prob) but my vent fan motor is actually blown as well. Last update was the electric Power Antenna and I'm doing more to neaten up the amp...

She's a nice wagon, but a little plain jane. They all do though without any sort of dark window tint, but I went as far to put venetians in to give it that extra character again. In one pic it looks like it has no tint, but in others looks like it's dark. Did you take the spoiler looking...

lol Narre Warren's been in the news a lot lately hasn't it

I know in the VR/VS there's a steel bar behind where the antenna buttons and security light are and this probably needs to be grinded out. There's a few other bits and pieces in behind here as well. The guys who do the lcd conversions into this are usually have to grind this out as well to...

added a pic today for the almost finished boot :D enjoy!

I like what you've done, but my only criticism is that in some areas it doesn't look right, e.g. there's a smudge on the green dash facia above the speed alert, and it looks funny with no ashtray in the centre console. I've had extended ideas on these which I'm surprised you didn't use e.g...

Heya vswgn_55, They're pretty snazzy and they're legal compared to the "completely clear" ones which are just factory ones with no colours. The Black ones would look good on your darker wagon (if that's the one in the pic). These are them here: VN VP VR VS Ute & Wagon Black Altezza Tail...

well done mate, I did the computer conversion to my S1 wagon. Here's a few pics: http://nugatory.iinet.net.au/sites/webpics/sunrise_car.jpg http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/attachments/vr-vs/40969d1191048042-my-ride-vs-s1-wagon-vsfront.jpg...

You can get SS commodore stickers and take off the executive sticker, then bam! you've got an SS... fools most ppl pretty easily ;)

nice car mate, love the rims, altho I think a bird crapped on your number plate lol love the foglight setup and mean look these models have

I bought the set similar to the 3rd set except for the wagon and you're right, they look like Mazda 3 lights almost and other ppl comment in the fashion, "Hey I like your Mazda 3 lights!" :bang: But in another sense, it's attempting to keep an older car up-to-speed with today's newer looking...

Just kick it back to first and give it a bootload lol :P

I guess it's because so many damn fords are taxi's they've got the conversion process down pat. See a couple of Commodores as taxi's from time to time but not many. Friend of mine has an ED Falcon with LPG and he swears by it but I have a feeling it was an ex-taxi too. Where do they put...
