How old is the battery? it may need replacing

Hi all, as the title says, which is the best value for money car insurance available? I am currently looking or comprensive car insurance and with so many companies offering what they call a good deal, it is hard to choose. Who do you guys and Gals insure your much loved Holdens with? I am...

Welcome to the forum 88-vl. There is plenty of information to be found on your car in the VL section. The original engine in your car is an RB30 Nissan which has far more grunt than a 3.3L. Personally I would stick to repairing the engine you have now rather than trying to swap to a 3.3L. As...

I have finally found the problem with this MoBo. I reloaded the BIOS with an earlier version and now it keeps all my settings; even after being turned off at the wall overnight. The board has ASUS Express Gate as a feature and when installed with the latest update, it fails to work. I have...

Not being racist here but the only wrong with Surfers is that it is overrun with Japanese people and some of the street names are in Japanese as well. As for seeing boobs, well if you don't see any there you are not at Surfers. Just sit anywhere along the beach front and they are everywhere! No...

So Ok I have installed the new CMOS battery on the MoBo. It didn't make a scrap of difference. It still loses my settings when the power is turned off at the power point. I still saves my settings in OC Profile but you still have to enter BIOS to access this. The strange thing is this thing will...

I have replaced the battery with a new one already. I measured the voltage of the new one before installing it and it was sitting nicely at 3.38Volts. The one that was in there was reading 3.0V. so I have doubts as to weather it is the battery somehow, but hey I could be wrong. I do have another...

Hi all, I have a weird problem with an ASUS P5Q-E motherboard that has me baffled. It will not save my personal settings in BIOS after being shut down and unplugged from the power point. Next time I try to boot up, it comes up onscreen to press F1 to recover BIOS settings or press F2 to load...

The board is an EP45-DS3P about 20 months old. All that has happened is that it has spat the BIOS and won't boot. Thanks guys, I think I will just can the idea.

Hey all, can anyone here tell me if it is possible to have a Gigabyte Motherboard sent back to Gigabyte for repairs even though it is out of waranty?

Yeah but the girlfriend hits back! LOL

:rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:

Mine was a bit droney with the 2.5" Redback zorst when first fitted (VP Sedan) so I fitted a 12" hotdog where the resinator usually sits and now the drone is almost unnoticeable.

Top Gear for me... Fifth gear is just crap as far as I am concerned!

Hi Calaber, a lot of the time it is how your operating system is set up. During installation of windows, If you just let it run through and click on next each time it asks you something, then the default locale is the US, hence the date being weird. Office (all years) take the locale off the...

Hey Gyso, that sounds pretty serious to me. If I were you I would take it to have the transmission serviced as soon as possible. You would be looking at around $2,100 for an exchange box if it dies on you, so getting in for the experts to look at it is well worth it IMO Cheers

Report it to eBay would be the best thing to do here

Yeah they are still here... always will be I guess One thing to note about Toowoomba is that it has a reputation of being a Panel Beaters Paradise, so watch your step when driving here... :hmmm:

Hmmm I second that... nice place to visit but you really wouldn't want to live here.... lol

They are 6 stud rims so you shouldn't have any trouble finding a spare for it. A mate is heavily into 4wd's and was driving an Isuzu MU. The wheels he had on it came off an 80 series Land Cruiser. Try looking for them at a 4wd wreckers in your area. Either cruise the phone book to find them...

I had mine reglued the other day, worked a treat. A place in town here does them for $50.00. That is in Qld though

First I can remember would be The Angels at the Power House. Awesome show even though Doc was in a wheel chair with a broken leg. Support act was Johnny Diesel. Not sure what year that was though Worst would have to without a doubt be the Lime Spiders. They were so bad that 95% of the crowd...

Cool, a locksmith!! :yahoo: I have just bought a VS Commodore Equipe sedan and the key blade is loose in the head. Is there any way of tightening it up so it is firm? I have tried tightening the screws but it wasn't successful. Also, can the battery be replaced or would I have to buy a complete...

I have an 11/91 VP sedan with that same engine... so VP's are NOT 92 onwards like you say bro.. sorry to dissappoint you lol

An auto electrician once told me to turn the headlights on (hi-beam) when changing the battery; that way if you get a power spike through the system, the headlights will absorb the spike and save your computer. works for me anyway. You can also get a device that plugs into your cigarette...

Have a read of this, it may help you out hopefully https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/solution-sticky-fuel-temp-guages.15436

Sounds like dry solder joints. there is a thread in here somewhere outlining how to fix it. Do a search and see what you come up with...

As excalibur said. It isn't that hard really. You will be fine mate, don't panic

OK Cool guys, thanks for that. Much appreciated! Cheers, Rossco

Hi all, the radiao aerial on my VS is broken and in need of replacement. The question I have is as follows; Which is better, electric or manual aerial? or are they much the same these days? I ask because years ago, electric aerials were not great when it came to reception where as the manual...

English PLEASE?? I am totally guessing here but do you mean the overflow bottle on the right side inner guard? There are 2 hoses which go into that bottle. One is connected to the radiator filler neck and the other is the overflow hose which goes down to the chassis rail through a hole and...

It could something as simple as a faulty solenoid or a blocked hose causing the problem and may not need to be rebuilt...

You should be able to get one from the wreckers... I got one the other day in good nick for $5.50 Inc GST...

HAve you tried just shutting windows live mail down? You could also maybe try rebooting the computer to see if that stops it... Just guessing here but if it helps all is good hey... if not, sorry mate

No power? possibly coil packs or DFI module (or both) have spat the dummy. Could also be plug leads. Check for codes to see if there are any clues to the problem. If the radiator coolant level is good then I wouldn't worry too much. Have the cooling system pressure tested to make sure there...

Just my opinion here, but I would stick to NSW if I were you. Qld used to be a great place once, but not anymore. The cost of living here is high, Car rego is the highest in Australia (around $900 a year for a V8, around $800 for a 6 cylinder), roads are terrible. They are but a few reasons...

You would have to be seriously NUTS to swap the VS SS for a VN mate! All I can say is don't do it beause you will regret it for the rest of your life. If you must get rid of it, then sell it off. If the car is in good condition with low milage as you say, then it should attract a good price...

You can usually get them in GJ Assortment packs but as you only want to buy one, try going to an engine rebuilder or a local Nut and bolt shop. Places like Bursons and Repco would also be good places to try. Good luck with it anyway

Thanks guys, all done now. It is easy once you know how to do it hey. Cheers and thanks again!

Hey all, I need to remove my back seat out of my VS Equipe to replace the LH seat belt assembly. I am having trouble getting the seat out; Is there a method to removing the seat or is it just a matter of sheer brute strength?? Thanks in advance, Cheers Rossco
