for $290 i just had my trannie serviced (oil, filter etc) and my rear diff serviced at my mechanic. Money well spent in my opinion. as other posts have said, i'd just do it for the peace of mind regardless whether its required or not.

if your anywhere near the shire - go see East Coast Suspensions down in Taren Point.

i just changed my speakers - new splits in the front and 6" rears then added an amp onto the stock head unit, trigger wire is attached to the 12v accessory plug. personally very happy and cost me just on $500 all up.

yeah timing belt and water pump come in at 1k, and obviously havent been done yet. she's asking for $3k but once i point that out and a few other things, were hoping to get it for $2k or so.

its been in a garage for four years. not sure if it starts as the battery is long gone as far as i know

Hi guys, My partner is looking to buy a car, and a work colleague has a 2000/2001 (???) Astra with only 58,000km. selling it really cheap as she doesnt need it and it is taking up space. Thing is that it hasnt been driven in 4-5 years. I know the tyres are gone and the battery; i assume...

im from sydney, so cant suggest anywhere. but most pannel beaters and smash repairers can do it. so if you if you dont know one, ask some mates if they have any connections. otherwise go get some quotes. i think itd be around 150-200 a rim if they require sanding, painting and clear coating +...

i took my stock rims off and fitted genuine hbd 17" rims, no issues at all just make sure you get the right size tyre and the speedo will hardly be affected. mine are 235/45/17 and the speedo is apparently only out 0.6km an hour so not noticable and they fit the car without any adjustments...

you could try what has been suggested. I had even less damage, and my pannel beater recommended a new bar. said it would never look straight or right again. However he did offer to attempt to straighten it out as much as possible for only $100 - $200 if i wanted some paint to cover up the black...

if you have the factory one installed, or want to spend the money then yeah they're fine. My VDO system got me where i needed and got me home every time. ie- it did whast it was designed to do. if it wasn't installed when i bought my previous car, would i have paid for it - no. With my current...

I've had a factory nav system and it was fine, however update disc were more expensive than a new portable unit and typing on the screen can be difficult i found (and the remote style - irritating and time consuming), plus you cant glance at the map and count streets or see the proposed path...

Ill try and get some photos of mine for you shortly, but in words - the unit is mounted to the left of the dash and is taken off when not in use. the cable runs down behind the trim along the side of the stereo and plugs into a 12v outlet i wired up into the loom for the smokers pack behind the...

I was in a similar position nrma wanted $1900 for my vz in my name and an excess of $550 plus age excess of $750. AAMI was $1080 comprehensive in my name and excess is $500 plus age $1250. I opted for AAMI and after one claim i see no problem with them, yes it took alot to get them to use my...

all new wiring from amp to crossover (mounted against the firewall with doublesided tape) and from crossover to tweeters. wires to the amp run from the loom on the side back to the amp (speaker level inputs), for now until the budget allows otherwise

yeah it definitly is, when you turn the car off the amp goes off, aerial comes down and no noise is made. but if you change from radio to cd (therefore lowering the aerial) it makes the noise.

can anyone please provide ideas as to what could be causing the following issue: after installing an amp into my wagon under the passenger seat, everything works great apart from when the aerial goes up or down. when it starts to move and finishes there is an audible pop (kind of like...

Have just purchased some ve rims to be fitted to my vz wagon. can anybody name some places they have used or know of that will machine the centre of the rims out for me please?? I live in Cronulla but am happy to travel if needed. Thanks guys

my vx did this too, my mechanic fixed it during a service and said it was just a cloged filter near the pump, hence the whining of the pump but no water.

im not sure as i did mine in person at the local nrma office. so long as it outlines all the vehicles details and does not have a numberplate listed it might do. you may be able to recieve an electronic copy that you can print if you call the insurer. just some options incase, as i am not sure...

trevor 062, is on the money. If the current owner is getting a blueslip then you wont need to see a mechanic at all; also a pink slip is not required as it forms part of the blueslip inspection. All you need to do is organise CTP (greenslip) insurance either online, over the phone or in...

thanks zep,

are you willing to post the weathershields to sydney (safely packaged), if i cover the costs assuming between $10 -$15 roughly (if this is not sufficient please advise)??

He says his Step Dad is a "Holden TECK", i sure as hope he can spell better than his step son and never works on my car. Best of luck in selling it i say cos i wouldnt go near it.

VZ-Rob, the radio was on then ignition was turned off and door opened and shut, car locked and the radio was still on, if you turned it off it'd remain illuminated instead. Anyway, turned out that the fuse for my bluetooth kit had blown preventing it from turning the kit off and making the...

willl it require the radio pin if i do so??? cos i cant bear to drive 3 hours with no music

Hi guys, Can anyone help me. Im on holidays in the Hunter Valley atm, just got back from dinner parked the car at the hotel and got out locked the car. All the lights go off and everything is as normal except the radio is still on and wont turn off??? I dont have the pin # with me so i cant...

does anyone have an idea as to the cost involved in painting the roof rails and rear spolier (thingy) professionally to match the car?

progressing slowly, have now installed new splits and rear speakers. thinking of working on the exhaust then lying low for a bit till more funds can be raised.

we did the lights on my old vx, and they worked well so just coppied the idea for the wagon. They're wired to accessories so they can be constantly on, with a switch wired into the centre consol. Also installed a bluetooth handsfree kit yesterday, motorola kit $90, holden conector loom $10.80...

mmmmm petrol changed fuel filter today, this is probably why the car smokes alot:

updated photos. (taken on a mobile phone though) **rims are off my old written-off VX, 17" HBD alloys

quick update, added another coat today just to tidy up a few places, air temp is around 16 degrees; plan to buy the exhaust soon and go for rego hopefully by the end of july.

i walked around because the paint was wet on the side of the car and on the drain lines. but y does it smoke so much?

its a bent chasie, 8.5k to repair it. car is valued at 10650 so not too bad, at the start of the month it was 12780 but cos it passed another year they revalued it. Despite the issues i had with the vehicle it will be missed, lots of time and effort was put into the car and memories that will...

Another day down and now only the drivers side door and rear passenger door to sand. picked up an airbox, sunvisor clips, drivers side indicator & a nudge bar for $55 at the wreckers so all is moving along well

my car may be a write off and tried to get my one out today to put the stock back in, but when they installed it they've pop riveted it into its casing then that casing into the metal frame where it slots into, cant get a screwdriver or anything inthere without really breaking something, so i...

yeah the wheels are 14", and yes its a regas aircon sticker. car is also fitted with new rear pedders gas rider shocks and new front tie rods, plus the tranny was only rebuilt 12 months ago. even came with a two year old battery!!!
