Gave the battery idea a go today. Disconnected the terminal for actually like an hour as i forgot about it lol. Unfortunately that idea didn't work. Also tried pulling out the fuse. Really am tempted to try that idea of pulling it apart but just don't want to run that risk of that cracking...

I have a feeling your right about the bending. Would explain a bit. I noticed when you add cd's into the car sometimes they sound like they haven't gone in properly. That's what i noticed before it let go a couple of days ago. I wish i was game enough to pull apart the CD player but after...

Hey just wondering if anyone else has had this problem before in the stock Blaupunkt players? Im guessing the laser scanner has cacked it and im probs going to have to buy a new one. Basically you try to load the CD's and you get that Mechanical Error, sucks as well as now i can't eject my...

Thanks to everyone's smart ass responce besides acarmody. Whoope do it's $50, get over it. You never never know if you don't ever give it a go. If that bridge is still up for offer i'll gladly take it and sticking it where the sun don't shine buddy :boxing:

Hey, Just bought one of these so called fuel savers off ebay and now im not quite sure where im supposed to apply it on the fuel line? I've managed to narrow it down to x3 pipes but not quite sure which one im supposed to apply it on and where. My best guess is the high pressure fuel hose...

Yer it does, cheers for that. I guess you could always paint it like a different colour, but why would you. Just with the stock pedals they get so slippery when your shoes are wet, the amount of times my foot has slipped off it and into the gap from the brake and accelerator, annoying...

Hey just wondering with this pedals, Holden VT/VX/VY HSV/Commodore/Monaro Racing Pedals AUTO - eBay Pedals, Interior, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 10-Jul-09 14:54:07 AEST) what tools do you need to install them. I spent at least one hour today looking for an alan...

I wouldn't mind seeing a water temp how to please. I have a oil pressure and water temp for my vy but all the wiring should be similar.

When you change the colour and how you said you just notify vicroads about the color change, does it cost money for you to change the color and also how long does it take to process.

They are not as bright as blue or white but they give an awsome look. That's why it's also good to have some other lights in your car, led footwells and other lights which can brighten up the cabin help alot.

I wonder if reversing the polarity is just the problem? Maybe because they are LED's? Anyway mate i have my car back in a few days so ill take a photo for you so you can reverse your wires, you will need to solder an extender wire onto i think the green wire because it will not reach the...

Hey all, Just wondering where good extractor shops are for a series II vy in Melbourne. I know Dandy exhausts are good but it's a big drive from Doncaster for me. Any other shops people can recommend? Thanks.

Do you think you could do a post on how to install gauges? I have a water temp and oil pressure at home and im clueless where to put the wires. Would love if you could do one and just show me how you set up your 2 even though they are different to mine.

Hey, Umm with the lights what sort of lighting system do you have? If you have the sunnies holder like me the globes are called bayonets. With the bayonets they are quite hard to find, even on ebay. So what i did was i bought a kit and wrapped red cellafane around it, however you spell...

It should run fine, i have 3 neons hooked up to my boot light, plus the boot light, which light up when i open the boot, nothing wrong with it. It may occasionally blow but a fuse is only like 40c each.

We should do our brakes together when we paint them red. I still got the red enamel paint for my engine, want to do all the yellow parts in engine bay (battery terminals, windshield washer etc bottle etc.) red so you should do the same man. I think the red paint would also work on the brakes...

Yer your right mate, 12kw but im also looking at upgrading the MAF and other air components with the MACE engineering items. I know the exterior lighting is over the top abit but hey i did it to cause controversy lol

Figured out the lighting in the end

Some new stuff installed recently to just about finish off lighting. New red parkers and grill neon Interior lights all made red.

Just read it in the Herald Sun, looks good what they've got planned. 18 month break was a long time for the boys.

Great job mate. Just spent 2 hours fixing my power window thanks to you showing us how to actually take off the door trim. Always never knew there was the door handle and then behind that the clip for the door. Oh yer and i fixed my window lol. So thanks again mate for the help.

Your right there mate. I've read up on this brand new Direct Liquid Injection technology and i reckon it will help the fuel situation for another 5 years. Formulated in Italy by an Italian company they managed to finally make the Liquid stay into liquid even when it reaches the engine. With...

I've had blue parkers, red parkers and white parkers and all of them except the red parkers have blown. For some reason the white leds are more prone to blowing up. Never thought of the led side indicator idea. I imagine they would be brighter than the standard wedge bulbs. I've seen red...

Looks really crisp and clean. You can really see the immense level of the shine and detail from the washing and detailing every weekend. Looks stunning mate.

Hey, I have a VY commodore and sometimes it does this in the cold weather on the same door. I try to unlock it with the button and it only clicks up half way which still has the locker connected to the door, all the other doors work. Strange that the key doesn't work though, maybe there's not...

I had the xenon white parkers which i had bought off ebay and they were really good. About 5x brighter than the original stock ones. I then bought another set which turned out white/blue which were good until the pin snapped. Then wanted red ones which turned out pink lol If you see one pink...

True, but hey it's better to get a professional to do it. I think labour costs would come under it.

There's a site called Bright Light Auto Parts - HID Kits for Cars and Motobikes which do great conversion kits which are up to 450% brighter. They operate in Ferntree Gully so you can head down to their showroom.

Lol vans now? You serious? Wow, really makes you double check your speed limit every 5 seconds when you see a car parked on the side of the road then you watch your rear view mirror hoping you don't get flashed. Honestly those 10 seconds of being paranoid is more likely to cause an accident...

Now using Toyota Corolla wagons and Mazda tributes as Mobile Cameras in Victoria (Mill Park, Greensborough, Rosanna) Starting to see a few VY VZ Commodore Wagons as undercover cars too around Rosanna from the Heidelberg police station in Victoria.

Nah mate and i won't do it because of the amount of ethanol in it. Continual usage is like car suicide. The people i know who used it told me their fuel pump died and the fuel lines corroded. I'd rather put salt in my tank than that. It's better using the 4c off at Caltex or Shell you get...

Well being limited to money at the moment and being on my red P's in Victoria i've had to cut back on modifications for now. So limited with the amount of money i had i've done some cheap but effective mods which are crowd turners. And just because these are exterior mods doesn't mean im not...

Thought coloured tinting was illegal in Victoria because that looks brilliant. The stock tints on the Commodores are a dreadful thing (although good for picking up undercover police cars in your mirror with the little onboard police lights you see in their dash) but yer i can't believe they do...

Caltex 95 or 98 for my VY depending on the price.

What paint do you use to make your brake lights appear darker. I know septone makes good paint to do your engine, brakes, interior etc. Would love to buy SS lights which have the tint but they are like over $200 a set on ebay which is a little ridiculous. Thanks, Marlon

Undercover cop cars Hey, Don't know if this has been posted or if this is true or not but i've heard the police were planning on using Holden Astra Turbos, Nissan Skylines, WRX (again) and other Japanese tuner cars in a bid to stop Melbourne's street racing and hoons. Anyone know anything...

Hey all, Im just wondering what size is the bayonet style lights in the VY dome lights? Because i want to get x2 red leds to bright up the dome lights as in the back 2 passenger door lights, the festoon 36mm lights are a nice led red so i would like to apply it to the whole car. If anyone has...
