Wont be the plugs mate. There NGK Platiums only 15,000km old

Hay guys i've got a similar prob. My 04 VZ Exec started to shudder and misfire also 2day. It starts fine, but after a 20min drive to the shops and start back up it shudders at idle and all through the rev range. It did this for about 5mins and went back to normal. Got it home and gave it a...

FYI Guys and gals. Huntsman's don't make webs. Soo they can be behind anything ready to pop out freak the crap out of ya, lolz

That spider has a smiley face on his abdomen lol

Me and a mate were having a laugh about the same BIG bastards (huntsman) the other day. Back 5 years ago i had my purple VS commy, me and my mate were heading to the beach on a friday arvo. It was stinking hot and my A/C was shot so the windows were down. Just leaving the petrol station when my...

Yes. You might get 50mls DRIP out (it wont flow out). Just put a drip tray underneath. And Top up you're tranny oil once you finish Brendan

I saw those lights the other day on another VZ. They looked kinda shitty, the LED's were nowhere near as bright as anything like the Audi's DRL's. I could hardly see them when he drove past me the other day Brendan

There's a bit of you're prob. Most who have done the 2 hole mode, used the Monaro shroud. If you don't you just suck in hot air from the engine bay. With the shroud, you suck cold air from over the light and from the side of the main opening infront of the rad.

You wont be able to see if its the heat shields, because were it usually rattles from is on the drivers side behind the header pipes. Sometimes it will rattle after the Cat on the long shields if you bottomed out over a bumb or something I had you're prob for ages, thought the sam thing, that...

Thumbs up for putting the Holden logo's/badges on mate. Sweet ride

You use a rubber mallet and pound the rotor off. There are NO Nuts holding the rotor in place. It will come off. If you installed you're new pads on you're old rotors, you will need to sand the pads b4 putting onto the New rotors. Brendan

If they do start squeaking, put up with it for a couple of weeks till you can save for some Bendix Ultimate's Pads. There around $65. Thats what i did after i made the mistake of buying crapola pads. Havn't heard a squeak since. The rotor don't look to bad

give it a couple of weeks and i bet they start squeaking. :)

Mine is an 04, with 215,xxx on the clock with no rattles or ticks. Mind you i change the oil every 5,000km and i don't thrash it.

I have a VZ wagon and have been looking at the VE for a while now. My only concern with the VE is that it's a "sports wagon". Which means it has F all space in the back for bikes, tools etc I use my car for work, being a Chippy, and have a shitload of tools that fit nicely in my VZ. There is no...

Learn to drive 1st if you are on you're P's, before you start thinking about power to weight ratios. I see alot of red P-Plates zipping through traffic now a days with no concern about others B

Speed limit mate, 110km/h :) 106km/h was the avg speed on the highway with 98

I just got back from holidays and i tested the 10% ethanol crap verses the BP Ultimate 98 We do our driving early in the morning so we hit no traffic and the same when we leave. So, on the way up i filled up with the Ethanol. 3.5 hours of highway driving Avg speed 103km/h using 11.1 liters of...

The last time i got new Bendix fronts pads, they didn't come with the metal clips. Holden have them for $7, they last about 2 pad changes

I know its got nothing to do with the "Force" lol

Have you had to replace you're oil pressure sensor Ricey? Iv'e heard that's what they stuff up sometimes.

Castrol only do a 5W-30 and 25W-50 in the Edge. There is 10W-30 in the Magnatec, but im a bit iffy about that stuff. Have a look at Nulon, there doing heaps of different specs atm. 10W-30 or 40 B

The story goes... A OHS officer was on his way home from work one week day, when a copper pulled him over at about 5pm The copper walked up to the OHS officer's window of his car and said " sir do you know how fast you where going?" The OHS officer said the speed limit constable. The cop then...

I saw an unmarked cop car with Chev badges on it last week. It was coming tawords me, and i thought, here's another wanker with chev badges. Then 2 secs later the grill lit up red and blue and he pulled some unlucky sucker over. haha

1st post and he starts with the Chev badge LOL.

What rotors and pads? Are you talking about a FULL brake package? Well yeah $2000 is cheap. But the OP is after rotors and pads only. Correct me if im wrong B

$2000??? Serious Are they Brembo"s or something? That's steep. B

In Sydney the last couple of days we have hit 30+ degrees. My fans turn on just above the quarter mark. And thats with no a/c on, windows down

Bushes maybe. Have a look and see if they are cracked.

Nice 1... Hopefully thats it. I hate when a mech says that word "head gasket"

Have you had a look at your Bushes? My brakes never felt the best, a little soft. Upgraded my Bushes, because the stocks were cracked and now it pulls up really nice.

Good luck 2moz bruz. Hope ya hit the numbers you want :)

lol. Take him on the typo. Yeah watch out, Gumtree have a shitload of scams atm through some shipping bs

No being stupid, but whats the purpose of a catch can? Brendan

The whine you are hearing is most prob the Idler pulley under the tensioner pulley. No biggy, $50 part

Good thread. Stepping up soon too Brendan

Try Pickles.com.au They have 100's of VZ's under 10K Most are fleet cars used for highway driving. My car come from there

Mate my VZ has 210,000km on the clock and she still runs like a dream. I do on average 80km a day and my car has an oil change every 5,000km and full service once a year. And no knocking to speak of. Brendan

I run Castrol Edge with Titanium 5W-30 for the last 2 months. Nice and smooth. Normally run Edge but it now has Titanium in it. And you wont get away with 5Ltr's always need another 1.7 or more. So oil should be 6.7Ltr. Thats with a cartridge change also which you will notice from your VR is...

Done mine to with HP led's and they are super bright, almost to much but i have dark tint so i dont care, i can see. Yep you need to swap around the wires easy job as mentioned. Don't get the ebay ones, they are not any brighter than orig
