I know of there definately being a Relay and a Fuse under the bonnet, I dont know it expanding when it heats up, I tried the swap a few relays and fuses when I was suck on the side of the road, but it didnt work, Its at the Mechanics now, jumped in it and drove to the mechanics with out it...

Hmmm, I think it could be the pump, maybe it just burning itself out, all my driving it all highway, so over the 80kmph, the pump just cant hack it, for $86 from repco, its worth changing, I just need the car too last till end of october, if it goes for any longer, I will be extremely happy, It...

E10 is a pretty refined fuel nower days, I still wouldnt use it , and soon enough thats all people are going to have the choice of using, most commo's dont have issues with it, but best to get a nice fuel injection clean and you will feel a lot better about it if you were to buy it, 80000kms...

Where abouts is the click coming from, engine or the passenger sider kick panel it could only be really the computer.....even more common the CRANK ANGLE SENSOR Do and error check, and find out what code you get

Same, DFI and Coil Pack, I was on my way to Pick and Payless and the middle one went, so drove there on 4 cyclinders for about 2 kms, and then pick up a DFI and 3x Pack for $50 put them on right there in the car park, purred like a kitten afterwards

$500 buck for a VT engine is good, make sure you know the km's on it, I know a bloke got jyped for VY motor for his Hilux, bought it off some dodgy wrecker just off Canterbury Road, Punchbowl and he was told it came out a S pack with 150000kms, but it must of a had 350000kms, it was absolute...

The moto of this story: Dont use any other part of your car to tow anything, unless you have at least have Stocky 550kg weighed Tow bar, (even this aint the recommended) Ebay has them for like $20-$50, which is considerably different to an adjustable Panhard Rod and Fuel Tank (the fuel...

WOW, 1 notch from hot, that is insane, the worst I ever got was, middle of summer, towing a loaded trailer to Canberra from Sydney and got about 5/8 the way to hot, and I dont have a tranny cooler, (I know very stupid - no tranny cooler and towing = $$$)

Was it in drive when you did it and have the left foot brake, you got make sure you in a nice open area, have it in drive and have the bonnet open and give it a increasing rev, not instant, just nice and slow its crazy to watch, you would never think of the engine wanting to do it,

I would check the engine mount still, I used to get a mad thud noise in my VS ute, turns out it was the left hand engine mount (passenger side) it is extremely common for it to go, best way to check it open the bonnet, turn her on and slowly attempt a brake job, if it looks like the motor...

So did you get it home or not, I have heard this happening before, but never heard what the cause was, whats the kms was there any other noises when running it was the thermo fan constantly on when trying to drive it home have you done and error check I live in Hurstville Grove, so not...

what do you do with injectors? take them out and clean them? with what? replace the seals i'd imagine. = Replace them, ebay Sellers can help, do an exchange makes it cheaper Fuel pressure reg, = Replace, not on VR not sure, should be on the Brake Booster side of the Fuel rail (make sure you...

Sorry Woggster, this was AGES ago, I highly doubt it, I know that some people manage to get on there still, like Australian Top Gear style, When we did it we were just out of School and working on the Sewer fix near Bankstown, thats how we got on there SO MUCH FUN WHEN WE DID, now...

I usually go through every when I by VS's Injectors, Fuel Pressure Reg, Temp Sensor, O2 Sensors, Fuel Filter, PCV Valve, Throttle Piston Sensors Vaccuum Hoses, pressure Cleaned Plenium and fresh Purge Canister Even did my Valleys YOU NAME IT IVE DONE IT, all up, spent about 10 hours...

Mine will go to 4th, but I will be doing like 140kmph, and by then It make me wonder the bloody hell she can do speed wise, (public roads aint cool for it - Mr and Mrs Sunday Driver in there Camry will pull out in front of you when you least expect it) in high and sight, PWR is really for...

YES!!!!! - SHE WAS, DINGO UGLY hahahahahahahahahaha

I've been there done that, but really, once the heads starts leaking, diff starts making noise, gearbox starts to become stubburn, is it really worth putting the whole amount of rubber from a set of stock RE92's on some bitchimened when you crusie the streets and see a bloke in a...

I does use a bit more juice, but thats only because to the have the motor rev higher, to ulimately need more combustion, MORE AIR needs MORE FUEL = Higher Revs Eco = Gear change in normal driving conditions at 2500-3000rpm Power = Gear change in normal driving conditions at 4700...

Ive done it before - same car too 1997 VS s2 Spack ute Somehow, I had some strange wiring already in the doors for the windows, bit of a muck around, but it was great found a wrecked VR statesman, in the end, got the seats redone, and even put the Climate Control in, ALL I CAN SAY, BE...

That or ever the VRX maybe 2.4L or a 2.0L, 4cyclinder VS 3.8L .... I would hope to believe you have chance without trying EFII 4.0L .... Again, if you didn't leave them in the dust, when you were Illegally Street Racing (not impressive) there would be something wrong

No Wucka's Gotta get it gone, just taking up space, I've only have it about 6 months, there is no way in the world you could freight it, It weight a bloody tonne, The Mechanic put a 6 speed out of a VY in ths VS II Acclaim so instead of the his workshop foreman continously wanting to...

Check this out, Its my mates car, He thinks its worth more then any other car on the road I remember him saying "YEAH BRO, FULLY RESPRAY WITH SPRAY CAN'S AYE"

I agree, I have driven some pretty smooth Falcons in my time, and I don't mind them, I just gotta soft spot for both, Pro's and Con's is always how any car buy plays the game If some one had a nice EF/EL Fairmont or XR6, I wouldn't say NO, but just gotta some up the Value, BOTH...

I have one, that came out of Acclaim, and was Reconditioned about 2 years ago, and a Mechanic has owned the car since it was only young Prob is, Im in Sydney, Its yours for $150 bucks I was going to put it in mine because I thought it was on its way out, but the Very same Mechanic said...

All I can Say, toyota have dropped the ball, Who was the Addict that designed the 2 different interiors in the Current Shape Corrolla Hatch and Sedan the Sedan it good but the HATCH...... I want what ever that guy was smoking Vommit in a Corolla anyone

Ive been in the same situation in a my old Manual VS Ute, you couldnt touch the Acclerator till the engine was warm, I did everything Coils, Spark plugs and Leads, Fuel Pressure Reg, Last thing was the CTS, then it was fine, I would have a crack at that

Thanks Guys I know it sounds like I have deep pockets (IM THE TOTAL OPPOSITE), to do the work on parts, but its a great past time, and its better to know your Car, then some chump you pay $65 - $95 per hour, to say its your ROTATOR SPLIT (RoadTrip the Movie) also when something goes bang...

I do see your point, I mean, majority of my working life has been if cruising or if not belting the crap out of the engine in beautiful new cars, so I never wanted to fork out cash for something that potentially has been flogged to death by someone like myself, I though of buying a VZ when I...

hahahaha Im 22, Ive had 7 cars 1st - Unregistered Ford Meteor (bright yellow) (still drove everywhere in it) - we called it Sparky - hit the brakes and embers would fly out from under the front brakes 2nd - 1993 Daihatsu Charade CS - we call it the Nugget 3rd - 1997 VS S Ute - We...

Totally off the Topic, sort of Had a driver call me the other day, wanting to use his Roadside assistance through Fleet Management, because his car (2005 Territory Ghia with 65000kms) wouldn't start, so the Roadside assist idiots try to convince this bloke that the car needs to be towed...

Ahh, I had a 04 VY Acclaim Series 2 Wagon, as an EX- SBS Operating Lease Vehicle, so I paid $9000 and it only had 56000kms and 8 months NSW rego, best car I ever had, but then I got a Company car and just didnt have the room for it so sold it for $14000 with 70000kms, I made money on it...
