Gday Dakster, The Camera manufacturers now work along with Adobe in support of Adobe camera raw. To get ACR you need photoshop installed CS or PSE and then can update ACR to support new camera models when needed... ACR is a lot better IMO than manufacturer software I have seen or used and the...

Alltho raw files do take up more space, I would recomend it is it can really help esp when gitting into the hobby, biz... I say to shoot raw + jpg mode as it gives you the abillity to "save" some photo's easier that you may have otherwise deleted or put up with being too dark / bright etc.. Also...

Also forgot to add about the sensor size in digital camera's. Most digital SLR's use a sensor smaller than that of a traditional negative.. This is fine and if you use lenses designed for a 35mm slr (film), you get a longer focal length.. For example (fro memory) a 100mm lens become equal to a...

Glad you found the prob... Also, I have a VS that has drained the battery easily - found out today that the reason is I was not locking the car keeping a higher drain on the battery - lock it, drain goes away.. I also have a non sealed battery in the VS, but I have a sealed battery in the shed I...

Finally got everything tested today... turns out the mate's theory about the power drain being the same as the VE's when the doors are not locked was spot on.... So I guess everyone - lock your doors!!! Bonnet is all sorted too, romoved teh bonnet pin and bot it to sit flat and panel gapped...

Thanks for the info Julie, I am so sorry to hear what happend.. I will be sure to pass on the info to people I know, and I KNOW they will pass it on too..

Yeah I know Holdens donated a heap of their test vehicles / eval vehicles to the emerg services for road crash training...

Good point - just tried it out on a nsw car (ebay) and didn't work... coulda sworn I have checked a vic reg car here while looking to buy and it worked... maybe they updated address with motor reg etc but didn't change plates yet?? Is there a service available online specifically for vic...

seems so... If you go to EzyReg website and type in the rego's the result is plate type / plate combination doesn't exist... must be more of the camo haha... Was just hoping to see what the manuf, colour, body type, and rego exp said... ummm if you use ezy reg to check exp. dates.... don't...

Erm - dodgy number plates on the vehicles.... According to motor reg they do not exist. Ozzy

only takes a seccond of not looking at the road to kill someone. looking at your gps, loading a cd etc and not seeing a kid run into the road after his ball.. As a driver it is upto YOU to keep an eye out on the other people around you too, just because someone pulled out infront of you or a kid...

could it be if the LED rings are coloured?.. dunno I am in SA and things change state to state, but here is a link to NSW Vehicle Standards info sheets Vehicle standards information sheets

Damn nice bbq mate... I only got a basic cheap 2 burner solid plate from bunnings... Really need 4 Burners to do 4 decent steaks tho, bet hey - I think the dog eats more steak from it than I do :/ - well when I'm not stealn it anyway ;> .. If it is a cast iron plate you have, cover it with oil...

lol - yeah I have hayfever too mate.. was just one of those unfortunate times... What made it worse was my nan wasn't in the best health and we needed the car.. just lucky I guess she didnt hit the go pedal at the same time... the look on the face of the police officer when she went to report it...

Some of the most movig pics and stories combined that I have seen are on the Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep Website, a US based organization where pro photographers volunteer their time to be on call 24/7 for families in their time of need. The service is there to provide parents a high quality...

EVERYONE makes mistakes, Luckily the bigest one and hopefully the only one I have had behind the wheel was when on my L's putting my folks car back under the carport - I was too far left and slightly made contact with one of the brick pillars holding it up... crunch but luckily no damage to the...

Gday mate, Personally I have Pentax gear - Tho it is not usually chosen by pro photographers anymore it does still have its advantages.. With the Nikon V Canon debate - They are really mostly the same - kinda like a lot of things - people just have their preferances.... Buying a digital SLR kit...

If you Really wanted the stock plug back on there again, you can call Go Technologies on (03) 9237 0800, give them the model number of your old HU and Credit card details and they can post you a new plug with 6? inch long wires to wire back up... Go Technologies are the Aussie contact for...

Maybe ring your local dealer.... Possibly the spare parts div. You may get lucky... If no joy with the first place try another one as they can vary with quality of service :(

Since Aerpro etc do not make a oem replacement I found the Ford EA-ED replacement harness (711692F) does fit... The wiring is wrong and will blow your radio so you need to back out ALL the terminals/wires ard put them in the right places but after that it is all ok... There is NO...

Well I couldn't unscrew the fekker but mate (ex mechanic) called round and he pressed on the hood while I pulled the release - pop - turns out I just wasn't pushing hard enough.... Yup I felt like a dumbass -2 days of stuffin round vs his 2min.... anyway I plan on replacing all the locking...

Cheers mate, was only a very quick go in photoshop, I have used it for years but usually spend a few hours trying to perfect photo's... mostly things like correcting colour, distortion caused by wide lenses etc.. I spent quite a long time designing a commo several months ago but then figured I...

couldnt resist a quick photoshop.... maybe it was more like a trophy truck :D

lol I just pictured it on a high lift 4wd chassis.....

tried all that... first someone pulling bonnet releaseand me flexing the bonnet a bit, no joy then releasing the spring from underneath... still stuck... so now will try drilling the pointy part of the plunger to the bolt behind it.. it "should then pop the bonnet so I just need to lift the flap...

Sorry mate, I didn't mean to butt into your convo.. V5W suspension is listed as a Higher (country) Suspension package...

Gday HSV5L, What model is it with? I just had a look at a document I have and it list A9M as Taxicab Victoria and Queensland Ozzy

I am sorry I got it wrong... It is Fuse 7 not 8 that is at fault :/ ... I was having a look today and was able to purchase a clamp meter - I am getting about 130ma drain on the battery... I unplugged just about everything including the bcm today and still got the drain on the fuse.. Anyway I was...

I have not had chane to test the brake switch yet but re the actuators - The battery still drains with the car unlocked, I tried it overnight and saw a voltage drop on the multimeter and if I leave it about 3 days unlocked unstarted the battery is marginal to start the car... I swear tho that...

Glad to hear you got the problem sorted so far :)

Yeah - I just had a look at the 2 BCM's I got spare but they are only a VS high and a VXII Mid... I dont know if the VX one would be compatiable for you or not, otherwise you coulda tried it out... There are quite a few on fleabay for about $60 delivered that were fitted to the VT that include...

I was just having a look at this pdf file HERE and it seems to point to needing the BCM.. It states GENERAL INFORMATION The VT Series Model uses a Bus Master communication system where the BCM is the Bus Master. The BCM periodically polls (surveys) each device on the bus and requests status...

I think the instrument cluster is all driven via the Body Control Module (BCM), Are you using a Holden BCM at all, if so what model? also what level cluster are you using? not all BCM's work with all clusters. Edit: are you using a tech2 on the OBD port? Ozzy

cheers for the info, I was told that no fuse should of had drain - thats why I found fuse 8 :/ ... the switch has stopped the drain, but with the switch off (no drain) I can still start and drive the car with brake lights working just doors central locking not working and no radio.. I have...

drove her 8ft fowards - waited a few hours and drove her backwards 8ft lol.... I did notice I gotta replace the boot on the drivers side of the power steering rack if that counts too :P

Also noticed a lot that cars vary in price state to state.... My guess is the richie states dont want their cars n dump them off, where other sates thrive on theese cars as they can't afford newer vehicles, driving the price up...

Gday, I have a constant drain on my battery and have Isolated it to the circuit with fuse 8... I have a temp fix for this with a switch and external fuse holder so the loom is not modified but I can switch the circuit on when I have to lock the car or I want to listen to music :/... I am...
