we had to pull the dash and centre console completely apart to take this sucker out so i was hoping there was a way without having to do that... haha

Hi people, I just had a cd player put into the WH statesman but the stacker in the boot was forgotten and so now since there is no power to it, we are unable to simply press the button to disconnect. Without me ruining anything or pulling stuff apart that i don't need to, is there any...

DESCRIPTION: Want to Buy ITEM: I'm looking for a VZ wagon. KM's under 150k and i would love to have LPG if lucky enough. Must be in gr8 condition, nothing dodgy. Colours must be either white, blue or silver. LOCATION: Sunshine Coast, North of Brisbane. CONDITION: Used...

Thanks mate, What about the 'ring gear'? could it be the teeth on that are worn?

Thanks for your reply, It makes the noise after i have turned the key and it's just in it's 'on' position (if that makes sense). So it makes the noise just after it turns over. I've had other ppl suggest it is the starter motor. It has never been replaced so it probs the problem. cheers

Hey people, I really do appreciate you taking the time to look at my post. MY 98 manual VT commodore has just started making this noise every time it starts. It use to do it once a blue moon and now it's happening every time. The car has very high KM's (375xxx) and is on LPG. Is it the...

Hey mate, Can i buy the speaker mesh on the back doors? If so how much? And also the 'commodore' letters on the boot. PM me if needed. Cheers

That's what I have installed on mine, sounds great. I get many comments about it and i don't even have pacemaker headers etc. I have put on a tip and that is all it needs.

Yeah mate i saw that and then when i went into their shop they had it for sale on a stand. Plus they said they'd fit it as well for a total of $110 when i get the 3000km service. I have already done 1000 in just over a week so it won't be far away. For 100 bucks, it's really worth it...

Thanks guys, Oh the idle changes like the weather...sometimes it will idle just below 1,000RPM like normal, other days it will idle on 500RPM and bounce up and down which makes it sound like a purring cat...and also it might even idle around 300 - 400 RPM. It can be really bad when this...

just get a flux capacitor, you'll be set mate.

Well it does stall while starting on fuel AND gas every morning. I just have to start and rev it straight away and drive off and not let the revs dip down to 0 while changing gears. If the car has been sitting for more than 2-3 hours you can just turn it on without having to rev it a bit...

ahhh ok. so does that mean they need to do some re-tuning to get it better? Also, my car hunts so much when I'm in 3rd, 4th and 5th. Always around the 60-80km/h mark. It's so annoying because you can't cruise on the highway without bouncing back and forth.

Cheers mate, I that's exactly what I'm going to do. :)

PS: I have the Ventura mix or something. I think i spelt that right. I did not get SVI or SIV because it was rather expensive

Car is no longer backfiring and is running quite smooth :) Same as before! I took my car back and they said there was one cracked spark plug (on the new set they put on) so they replaced the whole set for me...so they said. And they also retuned it and all this jazz. The only problem I am...

Thanks Strgas, They gave it a full tune and replaced leads, coils and the thing that the coils sit on. I presume it wouldn't be cheap to fix any leaks and valves etc??

Also JR689 I think your eBay link would be something i should defiantly look into getting. I'll see what they say about this (most likely say to not do it or something lol). I just don't want to void their 2 year warrenty.

Thanks guys! Well i just got it done today, and they replaced my leads, coils and the thing that the coils sit on. Which all cost around $600...lol =| And as i was driving around after my car backfired. I took it back and they said it will be something else and that they would have to look...

Wow, thank you very much for all your feedback! I am actually not too sure of the kind of setup i'll be getting in regards to vapour injection etc. But he showed me a VT SS that just had it all fitted and like someone said above, the change from Fuel to LPG is not noticable. His car still...

Hhi Milissa, When your battery is dead and you try to start it, it will make some ticking noises as it tries to turn over - but can't. But I'm defiantly no mechanic so don't take what i say as solid information. But i think it would have to be your alternator or something like that because...

it might be ammonia free, but it's got a lot of raw chemicals in it that are really strong and damaging. Do what you like though, it's your decision. Just water down some Morning Free and use that if you don't want to pay much. Or even just newspaper. Cheers

Hey Commodore clan, I have made a decision to get LPG in my car through TorqueGas in Caloundra, Sunshine Coast next week, as they are known to be the most experienced company in the area. I have talked to other mechanics, and most have said to not do it. But than I have talked to people...

Yep that is your tint. Do not use Armor All glass cleaner, or Windex, or any household window cleaning products...or any budget winder cleaning products. Best glass cleaner out there is the Bowden's Own brand which is only stocked in Autobarn or Auto1 or go to BOWDEN'S OWN | AUSTRALIA'S...

and the after market clutches are so annoyingly loud. You'd be looking at around $2,500 at least for a dual mass fly wheel so you have a dampener.

for a 98 model commodore I say don't do it. I have asked numerous highly professional mechanics and they all said NO. I was looking into it myself as i do 700km a week as I am a car detailer but you'll find that it will be good for a while, but it will wear out your car...no matter what they...

what kind of cloth's are you using and what kind of window cleaner? It can be lint coming out of the clothe if not using a high quality microfiber cloth.

Make sure that the correct size battery was installed, and also the correct Alternator. Maybe check if the Alternator wiring is in good condition, I had to get the wiring re done on mine because it was corroded badly. Or like the guy said above, could be starter motor and bad leads.
