Still got the car mate?

One of it with the new lip spoiler, blacked out Calais boot garnish and Vector vents. Also got a VCM OTR for it, doesn't sound as good but got rid of a flat spot that it seemed to have with the other APS cold air intake/pod. oh and she just tick over 275,00klm's

Going real good mate. I've got a heap of photos but can't load them from my phone lol

Thanks mate the badge is long gone 3 reason it was on there 1. There was a hole under it 2. I love the fact it drove chev badge haters up the wall 3. Original owner put it on there

What grade of oil would you suggest for a 2006 E1 GTS with the factory LS2 (only mild mods) it's being used as a shopping trolley and short trips for the wife these days as Ive got myself a Patrol for work (it has a bit of piston slap that its had since new and hasn't got any worse) but I'm...

Could you just use a low spec BCM out of a VR/VS Sedan?

Sorry about the dig but didn't think it was worth starting a new post. Is the fuel pump itself the same as the sedan pumps?

I really can't be bothered replying to most people that post about chev badge s*#t but I take you must live in America otherwise you sound like a goose for taking the piss about a chev badge when you made a Pontiac out of your Holden.

this is the view from the hole where I took out the rear strut wWbp_QoyljE

Well next drama with the old girl I've had the coil overs in about 7 months now a think that this could be a side affect of having them set a bit to low. I had a squeak in the passenger rear that sounded like a exhaust rubbing, after some investigation I found the rear passenger cradle mount has...

Had a squeak in the rear end (2006 E1 GTS, coil overs and 260,000 klm's) so I jacked the old girl up and it looked like the bolt had come loose and the cradle was sitting lower than normal so I tried tightening the bolt and couldn't budge it. So my next thought was bush had collapsed so I...

My own fault son climbed into my Patrol and put it into gear pushed it down the front yard into the tree, just thank #### no one was hurt. Car was idling getting up to temp to test out new thermos and I was in the shed heard a bang ran out the front and seen the patrol up against the fence.

the end

Is it more like to be a head gasket or inlet manifold gasket symptoms are - pressurised cooling system - water conning out of no# 4 & 6 cylinder - water out of exhaust Cheers Pat PJDM1980

Got around to putting the adjusters in for the rear coil overs. Thought I'd have to drill some holes in the boot like some of the G8 boys in the states had done, mines got the gas tank in the boot so brought the nephews Calais around for a look and the boot floor was the same as the ones in the...

Been 10 month now and it hasn't come off once. I used a 4pk 1065 belt. PJDM1980

Hey Ducker some people are under the impression that car makers use the best of everything when building cars yet in reality most us know that they are built to an extremely tight budget that mean you get 1000's of compromises. I disconnected this plug] after some advise from another GTS owner...

Found the issues just had to disconnect the MRC loom just under the brake booster all good now mate. PJDM1980

Just installed some coilovers in my '06 HSV GTS so I just cable tied the MRC looks out of the way drive fine but on the way home from Melbourne today I gave it full throttle for the first time and traction keep stopping the car from accelerating, soon as traction is turned off its a a good as...

It's a one owner car before we got it so it has a genuine 230,000klm's and it's factory gas. PJDM1980

Driving the car today and thought if give it a bit in petrol to see how it goes at high revs and it's pinging really bad above 4000rpm, any ideas what could be causing that? Cheers Pat PJDM1980

I've just brought the wife a VX II V6 auto on LPG it idles really ruff on gas but fine on petrol, it will stall when back out of the drive way but once warm it will just idle ruff. It also struggles to rev past 4000rpm when under load like over taking. It also has a really strong gas smell...

So the n means no, just wasn't sure if it was a code for something else. Cheers mate PJDM1980

If I was in the wrong I would of been fined and had to pay for his insurance, last accident I got rear ended, time before that the truck past me before turning into my lane, and the first accident my wife hit a animal on the way back from her mums on a country road at night only one accident...

It's parked up atm waiting for the assessor to come have a look at it after a bus side swiped it on the highway, he was in the middle lane and decided that he liked the fast lane more but didn't care that my poor car was next to his bus! so its undrivable because of the front suspension and it's...

I'm using a phone so searching isn't a option but thanks for the tips. PJDM1980

I've got a mate that has a 2008 VE SS wagon and the rear hatch popped open while driving, he got out and shut it and when he got home it wouldn't open at all the electric switch/button doesn't make any noises (like it's not operating anymore). Any ideas on how to open it and what might be wrong...
