    Manta Catback 2.5in quiet or medium for 2008 GTS with standard headers and cats?

    If you don’t want any done, go the quiet system I have the 2.5” Difilippo stainless system (before they were bought out by Manta) on my Sportwagon - whilst it sounds good, it drones around 1800-2000 rpm - it’s quite irritating if you’re after a quiet drive

    Pacemaker header dilemma! Are my supposed to be “brand new” headers actually used?

    As others have said, they’re ‘new’ Carbon on the inside of the headers would most certainly be evident had they been used Manufactured in a December 2021, so it would appear they’ve sat around for a little over a year waiting for a purchaser

    Ve reservoir

    Nope - the only overflowing it’ll be doing is out the top The rubber hose that is found half way up the tube is the radiator overflow If it’s over full, you could always siphon a little out, but in all seriousness, I don’t think it would cause any issues

    Holden IQ unable to set the time (minutes)

    Great to hear the issue is resolved The Holden IQ unit certainly isn’t the most well designed/engineered head unit out there, that’s for sure I recently had to stump up 450 clams, as the unit just packed up - no explanation given, it just ‘happens’

    This method works a treat if you’ve got access to an air compressor. Pull the rubber tubing off the end of the washer jet before using the air gun attachment to blow air from the front of the washer jet to the rear Plug the rubber hose back in and jobs done! With this method, you’re not...

    Diff oil replacement

    I'm presume so... Must be something to do with the LSD, as I change the better half's diff oil at the same interval as mine and it's always golden brown - Same genuine fluid gets used Further to that, my diff doesn't have a hard life either, so there's no sinister reason as to why the old oil is...

    VE Series II GPS suddenly not working after 9 years of operation

    As previously mentioned, it sounds like your IQ system could be failing The good news is that it can be fixed - Mine failed recently and I engaged ASL Automedia to fix same The bad news is that it was a tad on the expensive side, being around $400 and the fact that I had to strip a fair bit of...

    VF Series 1 Sedan Fitting larger battery in rear compartment

    I’ve put 2x s57220s in both the significant others sedan & my wagon Having said that, both were series II - I can’t see the battery tray changing dimensions between series Just remember to affix the battery vent tube - don’t let anyone say it’s not required because it most certainly is

    ls3 manual maloo leaking oil

    Looks to me like it's coming from the sump gasket - I know you've already replaced it, but.... You could try replacing the oil sensor, as it's relatively easy to do, in the hope that stops the leak, but I'd say you're going to be disappointed

    L77 Engine Noise

    There's your problem..... A while back, I did some research and discovered that BP had changed their formulation of their Ultimate fuel - Consequently, it was around the same time they were advertising their 'dirt busting' formula and 'busts dirt in 2 tanks' - I was curious as to how this 'dirt...

    Difference with 3/4" & 7/8" 2011 VE SS V II Sedan

    Unless it’s blown or charged, stick with the 1 n 3/4” pipes - the benefits to be gained with an N/A from fitting 1 n 7/8” headers are minimal Further, the 1 n 7/8” headers will be a wallet lightening experience of the highest order

    Entertainment unit won’t restart if driven for 20 minutes and car is turned off.

    I followed the guide on ASL Automedia’s site and found it to be very useful - just make sure you take your time https://www.aslautomedia.com.au/assets/files/VE SERIES 2 IQ AHU REMOVAL GUIDE.pdf Fu’s link to the Auto Instruct is also very good - between the pair of guides, you’ll get the job done

    Ask The Copper

    Should also add it’s an offence to go through a yellow light too Same penalty applies to that of a red light, points and all (well in Vic It does anyway)
  36. C

    Ask The Copper

    Whilst you might be pretty sure there’s a leeway of 0.2 seconds, I’m absolutely certain there isn’t - that’s the purpose of the yellow light - a signal to stop unless it’s unsafe to do so
  37. C

    Ask The Copper

    Must stop at an amber light unless it’s unsafe to do so In terms of a red light offence, you can’t enter the intersection after the signal turns red. In other words, you can’t cross over the painted white line after the signal turns red. Doesn’t matter if it’s 0.1 of a second or 26 seconds...

    Replacing VE Series II parker light globes
