Can't really help you there Dormant. Had my VT for eight years and never had a problem with mode buttons, (Car now has 220,000 Km showing)

A little bit late for the welcome to the Forum. He's been on here since at least March 06. Have a look at first posting above.

It might be only a 12 volt globe, but what amperage is it pulling?

It's called FRAUD. Under current legislation the goal term is 10 years. Hell of a risk (plus a lot of work) to make a difference of a couple of thousand dollars.

First thing I did when I bought the VT was to buy a six sided socket for the sump plug. Cost maybe 2 or 3 dollars. Using a twelve sided socket or ring spanner on a tight sump plug is only looking for trouble.

Who are "THEY"??

Lazy IAC valve ???

Sounds logical when you think about it. Thanks.

One thing intrigues me. How could that damage to the globe sockets have happened INSIDE the light assembly??

You could try cleaning the filter in front of the passengers side windscreen. Remove wiper arms, remove plastic panels between back of bonnet and bottom of windscreen. You cannot miss the filter on the passenger side. If this is even partially blocked it will seriously affect the amount of air...

(Post #8) I hope that was a typo, because I think you should mean "I will get the new ignition switch altered to suit the old key blade". Otherwise you will need two keys, one for ignition, another for door and boot. But then again, you don't sound as though you take kindly to any advice from...

Graham7773, before I had the SVI fitted I kept the same sort of records of fuel consumption/kilometres traveled while running on petrol. Over the 15,000 kilometres I had the car before the gas installation , average was 10.2 litres/100Km. For the 50,000 Km since the installation, average has...

I have sequential vapour injection fitted to my 98 V6 VT. I keep records of kilometres/gas use at each refill over the 50,000 Km that it has been fitted. By my calculations my fuel cost is just UNDER half of the cost of the same Kilometres on petrol. Not one problem in that time. Two gas...

I've bought four sets of the buttons from the eBay seller in Northern Queensland for various cars in the family and I couldn't be happier. Very easy and quick to fit, work well, very fast delivery and a nice bloke to deal with. This might sound a bit like an advertisement for the product, but...

I have variable intermittent wipers in my '98 executive. The controller is situated between my thumb and middle finger on my left hand. Cheers.

Bad choice of words ??? Sorry, sometimes I just can't help myself.

If you didn't do a REVS check you could, I hope not but you could, face bad news. If he still owes money to a Finance Company, when they catch up with him they will then catch up with you and suddenly no car and no $2500. Hope i"m wrong. Good Luck.

******** As far as sizes on the tyre is concerned the 60 and 70 (middle number) is the "aspect ratio" which is the relationship between width and height. To get the same height, that is, overall diameter, which equals the same revolutions per kilometer, and also speedo reading, the equivalent...

That is a problem and one of the reasons I started this thread- no Differential Identification Tag on the side of the housing.

Had another play with the car today. Car up on stands, about 2 inch (that's 50mm for all you young blokes) between bottom of tyre and concrete carport. Used a piece of timber just over 2 inches thick to chock each back wheel in turn. At around 1500 revs wheel still chocked-around 2000 revs the...

I've just had my VT V6 diff starting to howl. Changed it over last week, no dramas. My query regards the fact that the original was just the common standard diff whereas the replacement has a tag on the fill plug stating "high performance". I'm wondering have I scored myself an LSD in the change...

Simple short answer, bad earth on either headlight.

If your mechanic said that, it's time to change mechanics.

If you really have to take the car to Holden, why not use the same means of transport as you used to get the car from Pickles to where ever it is now??

What a difference a week makes. I had been dealing with a Sydney Suburban Branch of AAMI, and when I rang them last the bloke I'd been talking to for however many weeks had gone home early. Who ever I spoke to in his absence listened to my story, took a couple of details, transferred me to...

Things are looking up. Appointment for re-assessment early next week. Will keep in touch.

Back at last. I finally received a copy of the original repair quote (from Sept 03). Now I need one you Panel Beaters on this forum to translate it for me. As I've previously said, the majority of the damage was on the LH Front which was fairly badly damaged but the radiator was not among...

Just to keep everyone up to date, still waiting for copy of original quote after the accident that was promised by the Insurance Company. They said would be sent within a couple of days, that was now 12 days ago. Emailed them on Friday morning but no reply by end of business day. Looks like I...

Waiting at the moment for a copy of the original quote to find out what they did or didn't do.

Nope, not just the bubble gum. Dead set cracking through the weld down the front and back.

Car is 1998 VT V6, 150,00Km, basically bog standard except for a few "pretty bits" and LPG vapour system. Problem: LH Front strut tower has cracked the top front and rear welds and is pulling away from the inner guard/subframe, tending to lean toward motor. Has moved maybe 1/16th inch so far...
