    What's it worth?

    Thanks mate, I think I might have too, only problem is I am a p plater and it tends to get me in trouble with the boys in blue. I've put countless hours into it and done eveything myself with no short cuts and anything under 6 wouldnt really do it for me, but now I have no use for her at the...

    VP Calais BCM problem

    Hey mate if you have changed the bcm before you need to have the matching remote for that bcm or else it won't start unless security feature is off, as for the windows have you tried asking an auto elec?

    Car maintenance....what should i do next????????

    Hey mate, with regard to it running rough, with that Amount of m's it's not uncommon for them to run rough, could be a lifter not pumping up 100% or even the valves in the cylinder head not sealing 100% either, worst case scenario. Cheers

    Hey mate, we had a chat a while ago about a tune for my supercharged vp and I have finished off the mods on it so now I reckon it's time for a tune, just wondering if your still the man to do it, I don't expect it done straight away as of Christmas and stuff but if possible I'd love it early...

    Looking at buying VP calais

    As for the whine your hearing fair chance that it's the diff pinion bearing (very common with IRS diffs) although that has nothing to do with the limited slip of the wheels, if it's an LSD you should be able to spin 2 wheels under heavy throttle around corners and such but at this age and a few...

    Fuel pumps

    Try kicking the fuel tank next time it happens and if it straight away runs better thats a good indercation, other than that all you could do is have Somone check the fuel pressure while it is running poo, but getting it to the mechanics could be tricky as it might be running ok and symptoms...

    Wheel arches are rubbing?

    Hey mate, I think your rear springs and shockers are worn out like most vn-vp's Jack up the rear and take a wheel off and check up inside were the wheel travels and see if the tire has been rubbing up against the body, my vp done this also, turned out to be a combination of worn out suspension...

    Flushing Radiator + engine maint

    There's still oil in between the bearings and everywhere important, remembering you usually have the engine warm before draining the oil, a couple of seconds doesn't faze me as I've never had a problem all my engines still have good comp and no bearing knocks, as I said each to there own it...

    Vn Hsv

    Highly doubt if it's real then, I it is you would be silly not to by it, They are worth a fair bit like 40 grand or somthing I don't really pay much attention to them, do a search find out what's on the Id tags to see if it's real but as I said probly not, even if it's a 'mock up' if it has the...

    What model and is it genuine? If it's a v8 I'd say yes it is worth it.

    is it possible

    Hey mate, yeh I reckon it would be hard, very hard unless there's a kit Somone makes, the entire engine management system would have to be wired in a total new loom not to mention the fly by wire throttle and heaps of sensors, then you need to no if the engine is going to fit into the k frame...

    Flushing Radiator + engine maint

    People have different opinions of things, I for one have never filled up the oil filter but some choose to, some filters also have a pre oiled surface, a good engine gets oil pressure in a few seconds if its not going to get good oil pressure in 3 seconds of not having a full oil filter then...

    Looking at buying VP calais

    Oh and it might sound silly but one thing I've picked up on commos is check the carpet that goes in contact with the accelorator pedel at full throttle, if it's had a hard life like my first vn's the carpet will be pretty non existent lol

    Looking at buying VP calais

    Hey mate make sure you test drive it up some were with a 100 zone and listen for diff whines and feel for harsh down shifting in the gearbox when pulling up to the lights, There 2 common things I've seen in my time, oh and don't take there word for it if they say it's an LSD. Good luck mate
