    VT2 Hazards work. indicator on steady Glow

    Hi, I've done a search but nothing completely similar. I've replaced my indicator stalk (with cruise) and flasher relay over the years. Recently had an issue with indicators staying lit or slow flash instead of flashing . This happened after indicating then a faint puff of smoke from...

    VT2 Torque Converter fail post service?

    Headed to the automatic transmission specialist- seems by the symptoms. It will the torque converter seal causing the lock/unlock of the torque converter and given the age/ 265K km it's not just worth replacing the seal. It has been a while since a service- back when I was bleeding money into a...

    VT2 Torque Converter fail post service?

    Hi, I recently had my VT2 9C1 Auto serviced. Replaced the rocker cover gaskets. Post the service my car does pretty much the same as the VS in this thread. The car has done about 265,000 (all with me!)...

    Flat spots post Rocker cover replacement

    Hiya, Just had my rocker cover gaskets replaced at last service, 2 days ago, along with new plugs etc Living semi rural now and on resuming/ increasing throttle, hill climb after fat run up or resuming speed on flat roads, say after a bug bend I get the occasional flat spot of burst of two...

    Ask The Copper

    Well that's a bit naughty then isn't it? You aren't required to move out of the way of a police car that isn't displaying red or blue beacons or sounding a siren or horn. The trucks were doing their thing under their usual 'stuff everyone else' unwritten rules.

    Harmonic Balancer- another one.

    Hi, it's been a while. Last service, they said my engine mounts were sagging- now for the second set in 220,000.- I'll get to them when I can afford it However today, starting the car tonight, I get this whirring/ vibration- increases under load. Came home after cancelling the tip to the...

    P Platers and High Performance cars.....

    I don't want you driving high performance or overpowered vehicles because I'm sick of me and my colleagues pulling angry grizzly crying halfwits out of smashed up cars because they keep thinking they have reached the level of test pilot after a few cheap mods to their car or a few nights of need...

    P Platers and High Performance cars.....

    What it's all about is learning to drive full stop before you worry about your experience in high powered cars. Is the world going to stop because you have to wait before you are off your P's? No. Given that most P Platers are in their teens it just one of thing where it is better to...

    P Platers and High Performance cars.....

    Explain how this will occur? Once you are on your green 'P' you should still be thankful you have still been given the privelege of a car licence. You don't use your time gaining experience in traffic and vehicle handling, risk perception and management by belting an overpowered vehicle to...

    Fine while on 'Good Behaviour' - leg to stand on?

    It's a shame mate, but...... With all the comments about a prick of a roundabout, that is even more incentive to be on the ball in dicey conditions. Adaptability in adverse conditions is one of the biggest lacking skills in novice drivers. Unfortunately niceness means nothing in a...

    No wishes. 20/20 Hindsight and remorse is so commmon it makes me just spew. I do though hope you realise how effin stupid your behaviour was and move on to being a mature responsible driver when you get your licence back.

    Over Clicking Indicator Flasher Relay VTII

    Sorry for the late reply Gang, Yep it was the indicator Stalk. pretty cheap from Memory brand new ~30 from holden. Mine had the cruise included so that was no extra problem. just follow what you unplugged! Easy to change using the just Commodores How to Guide. It's actually harder work to...

    hooning,

    I hear what you are saying. I appreciate that it's difficult when the coppers can be seen to be picking on you. Over keen coppers can be a problem, however there are times when tactics employed are because of a bigger problem. That is the nature of things today unfortunately. It's like...

    hooning,

    The cop was using a taser. That's when he got head butted by that gutless thug. Tasers aren't meant to be a willy nilly tool for unleashing on everyone (thoughit wouldn't be a bad thing sometimes). Yes young cops full of beans can on occasions be more trouble than they are worth, but if...

    Short of actual unprovoked violence, what in Police behaviour warrrants 'snapping' then? Really? Short fuses in today's society have caused more grief on a daily basis that any. Blaming someone else has also become an epidemic. Kicking heads and similar behaviour are cases where...

    Instead of making an inciteful comment, think about why they decide to harrass you, instead of blaming them. Step back and think what is it I'm doing that might tick them off or what is it about my car that makes it a magnet. Actually how about comments about shooting cops are banned...

    Over Clicking Indicator Flasher Relay VTII

    Hi Gang, Of late I noticed that when not in use the indicator flasher relay keeps flicking away irregularly. The indicators due not flash when this happens thank God. When I use the indicator or the hazards (different circuit I know) the relay works fine. Occasionally get the dull flash on...

    Driving techniques

    We used to use cadence braking for Emergency Driving in F100s--works a charm and modifying it for normal driving means gentle pressure on an off as you approach a stopping point means you don't have to brake hard, e.g. coming up to lights. Makes you pads and rotors last that little bit longer.

    That's not the point is it?. The whole idea of discussing it is perhaps somehow you might realise that you might be doing the wrong thing. The whole idea is not how unfair the system has been on you but don't break the speed limit. If you do then you wear it. It shouldn't be an exercise...

    Learner Drivers

    It is an open argument that whenever an Eastern African behaves in an unsocial way including behaving like a gangsta or some other violent action or drving behaviour that they had full knowledge of that their past and all that they witnessed is the cause. So it says "don't take...

    Yes. Unless they have ADR approval they are illegal. However if an approved globe is fitted and it is still startling to other drivers then it could be too.

    Teens get takeaway at fatal crash site

    There are a lot of ill-informed posts about crash behaviours and that concerns me. Being sued is a lot of tripe. This is Australia not the U.S. if you make a reasonable effort to help whether it is first aid or holding tissues I think you might find you're pretty safe. Whilst response to...

    Well after many of the comments on who has and hasn't done any first aid training, how about doing a first aid course. Not so you can be a hero at a prang but perhaps so you can help a mate or family member instead running in a around like a blubbering mess when the shyte hit's the fan. Some...
