I've got a 60th anniversary model with the leather seats and over time with the sun bearing down on it the leather has shrunk and gone hard and it sometimes goes off thinking someone's sitting in the seat I just buckle up the belt for now or swear at it if I can't be bothered.

Hi guys thanks for all the replies got the car back today , the dizzy was a genuine Bosch one and the engine never got wet at all , mechanic changed oil put in Fuchs 20/50 and a Lucas oil stabiliser ran it at the workshop for awhile took it for a good drive and went fine no oil light came on...

The dizzy was brand new , cars at the mechanics today will see what he comes back with he's going to take it home tonight and see how it runs and see what else he can find , he said that he might look at doing an oil change and putting a thinner performance oil in to see if the oil pump is...

Also forgot to add had the ecu resoldered as well.

Hi guys , I have this SS which I use for weekend cruising been ultra reliable had it for six months.Had to store it one weekend in my sons garage while having some work done at my place, ran sweet algud locked it up and left it. Went back a week later to get it wouldn't start cranked over and...

Yeah thanks for that Nut Kracker both keys are less than six months old so thinking it might be the sensor itself?

I find sometimes that the key fob won't work after the car has been sitting in the sun all day at work and then in the morning it works fine after sitting in the garage overnight , temperature related or coincidence? Wouldn't work this afternoon after work took sensor out and blew compressed...

Honestly get it serviced I had mine done last week and it used to whine from 1st to second and quite jerky but since it was done amazing difference smooth as and gear changes quick and no noise! :)

When I start mine inside the garage you can hear it but as soon as it's outside after a minute or so it's fine doesn't use any oil and runs fine you just get used to it after awhile

Pretty simple just don't do it :)

As stated in Haynes repair manual: Connect the red jumper cable to the positive(+) terminals of each battery. Connect one end of the black jumper cable to the negative(-) terminal of the booster battery. The other end of this cable should be connected to a good earth on the vehicle such as a...

98 makes a definite difference for my ss a hell of a lot smoother and better performance, 95 not to bad but 91 is crap here in nz I wouldn't use it in any car! lol

used to have an old vb commodore did that, thought it was normal , quite useful for unlocking the glovebox while you driving along lol

Exactly right lout

Door lock actuator maybe?

exactly the same with me with the tail light bubs it must read as a circuit fault and as soon as you replace the faulty bulbs , fixed, try that

How about a bit of KY jelly lubricant? LOL

design fault

Time to move on people we've all got alot older since this started time to put it to rest :)

I drove round with engine light on for two weeks before I got round to changing mine no problems at all

had same thing happen trac light stayed on but noticed that both tail light bulbs had blown changed them and then trac light went off thought it was something with abs but not this time thank goodness!

Sweet mate thanks heaps

Hi guys went to change the bulb for my rear left brake light undid the two screws near the boot rubber and then found the clip is holding it in on the inside of the light but I cant get my hand in to release clip. Am i missing something here? Is there another way? thanks :hmmm:

soop you have obviously got the brain of a chocolate fish, nah thats being mean to the fish, for god sake boy GROW UP! and listen to all these guys that know more than you, my god your'e annoying!

lol nappy changing time!

Dont ask if you wont listen to advice!

77000 km on my vt ss :)

My vt ss drivers door does this every now and again for no reason, maybe it's possessed! LOL

Im in Auckland have a ss Ls1 also and yep does the same thing perfectly fine looks quite funny when steams coming out of your exhaust and nobody elses!!! but it soon goes but just got rid of factory exhaust it was to quiet!!!! now it growls out of a coby exhaust nothing like the sound when you...

Could be exhaust heat shield bolts they sometimes come loose and cause a rattle check them out first.

Had the same trouble, tightened fuel cap more than I had been doing ( about three rotations now),fixed,hope it's that simple for you

Yeah the car has only done 70 000km pretty poor design if it craps out by then

Hey Everyone how many of you have had your water pump crap out on you after changing your radiator cap? Seems to be common occurance, I changed radiator cap recently and now I'm getting a squeal from water pump, anyone else had similar?

Cheers for that I think once you start hearing to many noises it's time for a bloody cold one! Merry Xmas all!

Could the power steering make that noise as im driving along? Just noticed when I put the car in the garage tonight that it was making a squealing noise and checked the fluid level and it was on low, cars done 71000 km to, any ideas appreciated

When I floor it everthing is sweet but when it's a slow acceleration I get the noise it's not loud just weird, I was gonna try putting some 98 in it to see if higher octane changes anything and then I could rule out detonating maybe. But more liable to be heat shields I think

yeah its more a "light" metallic sound than anything to do with the gearbox so I will check the heat shields tomorrow gear changes are normally smooth., thanks

Hi guys I have just noticed in the last few days when I am accelerating going through the gears (its an auto executive) I can here the motor almost making a "pinging" noise which makes me think it might need a tune up but the noise almost sounds metallic like and when I take my foot off the...

Hi new to site as well same thing happened to me just this morning! Started up car got out shut the door BANG! all the doors locked oops! Luckily I was at home and used the spare keys to open it I have also noticed the door mechanism is getting a little harder to open as well, dampness getting...
