    Cruise control instructions for vx

    Yes the cruise light comes on but the active light does not. I spoke to the wrecker and said something about a relay has to go in the fuse box under the bonnet but did not say where it has to go, but the instruction or the manual say nothing about the relay. He said there is a spare spot for it...

    xv2 commodore shakes

    Was the vibration there before you get new tyres if not it is the tyres by the sounds of it, it is your rear tyres. Get your rear tyres looked at. Falken are a s### tyre and have a history of vibration problems as thay are a cheaper tyre then your brigestone, dunlop, goodyear and yokohama so...

    Wheel bearing or tyre noise?

    Sound like tyre noise. Rotate your tyres around front to back. It sound like your wheel alignment is out and needs to fix. It dont take much to put it out thats were i would start. Have a look at your tyres to see if the front ones are wearing funny or on one of the egaes. Hope this helps
