Theres a few options available now but im waiting for dus to finish making the brackets to suit, apparently the VE will fit (with said brackets) but hes only selling a MAF version, which suits me fine.

Geez you 2 are up early ^^^ Have you put a multi meter across the treminals? I assume you have being your on you 4th alt, by memory it should be between 13.2-13.7 Volts. Also check the earthing of battery and alt, and are you belts in good shape.

The thing is that if its the box it would throw out fault codes, atleast for the solenoids but Im not sure for the pump etc.. if that has electronic sensors? And if not you would think they would have checked it some how. Both visits has had it off the road for a few weeks combined so they must...

He knows he should but hes spent alot of money with this guy and doesnt want to start from scratch and let the bloke off the hook. In saying that it may or may not be the box? Thats why I need some ideas to pass on to him.

A mate back in NZ dropped me a line about a 2000 HSV senator series hes got and for the past 3 months its been having some major dramas with gear changes. He tells me when hes driving normally the auto box is searching for gears and holds the lower gears for a real long time but when it gives...

HAHA thats funny mate.

It wont be the creatine, but what about energy drinks etc...Your a young guy I bet you knock those back, or coffee even within an hour before the BP test? I just turned 33 and Im now on meds for for high BP for life. DONT MUCK AROUND GET IT CHECKED OUT.

Join the club mate, theres been a few of us with this fault lately, and its more than likley it your oil pressure sensor so its an easy fix. Have a read through these. http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/vz-holden-commodore-2004-2006/129044-svs-service-vehicle-soon-h-e-l-p-s-o-s.html...

Did you get a mafless tune or maf tune, if it was mafless then the high flow of air wont be the factor because thats now been taken out of the equation (if its been tuned right). You might be up for a sensor like the OP (and now me). I know mine comes up when I cane it and sometimes it very...

I just priced up a sensor at autobarn, $70 for a VDO one and $23 for the socket, only need the socket for the OEM not for the new VDO one, and VDO makes quality stuff I use alot of there gear at work.

It was a workshop in brissy.

Ok I found the part its some sort of resistor to quiet the alternator down. Its not needed and doesnt come shipped brand new with one ,so bugger it. But I need a new alternator as the guts of mine is burnt out. Wheres that cliff????? Thanks for the help guys.

I would have tried that but my whole display would go blank , apart from trac and ABS. I have just cleared the warning lights by pulling apart the ABS module and cleaning the contacts (just a temp fix I know). Now I see theres a connector plug with a small box thats missing from the...

Well I got nothing better to do today, missus Is now at work with my SS :realangry: So I might as well grab a torch and start searching. One would think that between Holden and the other performance shops That looked at it , one of them should have found a problem long ago.

Prices vary I found depending on how good the tuners are ie ..Rep . Ive paid $80 for a half Hr block on special and a few months later at another place I paid $140, because I heard they were better. Look through the yellow pages You have a heap of good tuners down your way.

Thanks also for the response Locksmiff, You just reminded me I have a spare chip I can try to clear this new problem, at least that way I will know its not the chip and it is indeed something else . Only draw back with that is the chip is a blackstar7000 LOL.

Nah its all the same since the rebuild apart from all new sensors to fault find the lack of power. Im thinking electrical to, like possibly it partially fried the ECU when it blew and has slowly degraded since. Because aside from lack of power it uses alot of fuel and the distance to go read...

OK the dash wont stay stable long enough for me to count the codes, it shuts all functions down aprat from ABS and trac. You guys wont believe how close I am to pushing this car off a cliff and claiming insurance, ive had a gut full.

Ok so the VX previous history is rebuilt engine etc... and problems with lack of power ever since it blew. All sensors replaced ,scanned etc..everything shows up good. Well just now the missus driving home and all the dash lights light up from left to right then clearing, it did that same...

When I forgot mine it took ownership papers and D/L before they would give it, I didnt have to pay for it though, lucky I guess.

If its not the sensor as 88 has suggested have you recently got a OTRCAI ? just asking because when I brought and installed a "Maf/mafless" version 5 days later I got the same warning. Anyway just a thought. Other wise get the tech 2 scanner onto it and see what it is.

I hope they havent been threaded? meaning they were put in on the piss, otherwise its going to need a re-tap. Try bursons or even holden spare parts, they may surprise you sometimes.

Nah havent had that happen yet, its not a dodgy battery losing your utes settings perhaps ? Is it the same time frame that the sound comes back? Maybe even a loose wire in the wheel controls, mine stays on till I re-engage the mute button.

Its a pitty they dont have a bigger canister so you can do a total flush eh, I was looking over my shoulder for green peace when I let it soak into my lawn :spot on:

Same as every other model mate. If theres 2 of you get one inside the car to work the brake pedal and the other on the bleeder nipple "SLOWLY" undoing it untill the pedal almost hits floor then tighten up. Repeat process until happy. dont forget to keep your reseviour topped up. I got a "one...

yeah I had to take the hub off too, took a few swings on the hammer, some CRC and some back n fords rocking before it would budge though. Holden can be like Bursons,for instance I just got bosch leads for $130 and bendix pads front and rear for $64 a set. Now Holden wanted $61 a lead and $300...

Thanks for the help guys. Yeah supercheap dont stock them anymore but good ol bursons does, bout $6 each so I got the last 4 they had in. Good point about swapping out the rest, I might order some more in and make a day of it next week. You should have seen the factory wheel brace, all the...

Thanks mate, appreciated. Do you reckon I can rock up to supercheap etc.. for studs? or have to order one through a tire fitment place. Cheers.

Pretty simple really, im trying to remove the left over stud thats snapped in the hub, is it def a screw type stud or is it pressed ?

Ok so im changin break pads out today and low and behold one of the lugs wants to be a prick and snap, never mind its still got my mag wheel lock on it. So do I take the calliper off , smash the hub with a mallet then hit the stud from the outside in or is it a screwed length thread totally...

Hmm blackstar chip eh, mine blew a leg out the block 3 months after I brought one of his. Coincidence???? Doubtfull.

Bump.... Anyone have any input or can arm me with knowledge that will help my case if I decide to sue?

I need some major help here guys. Long story short it looks like the new engine is cooked :censored: . Now those of you that have followed would recall Its run like **** since the missus drove it back from the rebuilder ( and he got told that from day dot). Now after exhausting all his...

I know what you mean by impatient I was keen as after we spoke last time but we were saving for this australia day holiday so i had to bite the bullet but now thats out the way (how can 3 days in surfers cost 2k lol) im looking at steves tune. Oh, and dont worry you didnt whore ya self out...

hey mate, They arent actually branded but they are molded by this guy on ebay eBay My World - originalpartsgroup hes top notch when it comes to answering questions and his delivery times are top notch. I paid an extra $80 dollars to complete the look but aparently alot of people like the...

Bro hows the mighty TOERONGA haha. Your best bet when you jump off the plane head straight for the yellow pages or aussie ebay or even start back home on the net, just add the .com.au . Theres heaps of places here to get bits n pieces for holden, unlike back home where all the wreckers deal...

I guess by the price you did the exchange eh? Im looking at keeping mines since its got a better factory tune ie 250kw high output engine. You never know when you might want to sell the car and flick off a good PCM tune. HAHA just looked through my PM's and you were one of his loyal...

Yeah Ive read on the maf tunes but by the looks they dont squeeze out much power eh. I have been looking at OZTRACKS mail orders and he seems to have a loyal following with some solid tunes, I was just hoping it was going to be later than sooner after I got my OTRCAI, oh well thats the price we...

Nice mate, Im liking the black bowtie and shaded rear lights, nice subtle touch. Also, not sure about the laws near you but if poss tint the **** out of it. Nice ride .

OK.... So the CAI had to come off, It was throwing so much air down the guts of the engine it was producing "service vehicle soon" faults. So after my mate cleared the fault I ripped her out, So i guess the mafless tune cant wait after all. It was averaging 23/ltr per 100km so after putting...
