Okay then and why I'm asking is I'd like another Commodore and a latter model than the VX I had. Looks like a 2010 or latter is the way to go.

Doesn't the latter models have an issue with the belts or chains.

Goes anyone know which year the V6 Commodores starting using a timing chain.

Hi Losh, which cabinet d you have?

Recently I've upgraded to a 16 cfm ITM 3.0hp 328 litres a minute air compressor for the shed and would now like to get a abrasive blasting cabinet. I've been looking online to see what's popular and ideally ones that don't need any modifications to use, so many seem not to work efficiently and...

Thanks for the kind comments guys, sure we could have sold it but I'm at that stage of my life where going to all the trouble of stripping it, storing it, advertising and having folks take a look for maybe a total of 1,000 just isnt of an interest to me. Yep bought a 2 post hoist have that setup...

Hi folks, I want to thank everyone that's helped us maintain our 362,000 K 2001 VX Acclaim Commodore over the last 9 years and I doubt I could have done that without your help. On the 3rd of July 2020 I retired our 2001 VX Acclaim Commodore and it's now resting in pieces at the Emerald Qld...

I have a VT series 2 engine with 80,000 ks that's being rebuild and is to go into our Rat Rod project and am wondering does anyone know what parts on the V6 engines talk to the computer. What I'm asking is when doing an engine swap I believe you must have the original computer box otherwise the...

We removed our with a bit of wiggling and jiggling and of course some swearing. I sprayed the Lanolin spay on all the connections to help free them up then got up in there with a camera to take photos to see what I was dealing with. One I dealt with them blue clips it came apart easy enough, not...

Unbelievable hey just how often would anyone get to flat tyre while driving on a sealed road. Any distance will stuff the tyre and if thats not an issue them maybe a kilometer or 2 until it parts from the rim. I wouldn't recommend this but I have seen a lady driving a Hiace van down the highway...

Has anyone removed the wiring harness from a VX before. I'm in the process of dismantling our VX Commodore sedan and am going to us as much of it for our Austin A70 Rat Rod. Wondering is the wiring one complete harness or does it come apart at the firewall to form 2 sections. I'm using the V6...

Before fitting the rims I degreased and scrubbed each rim (none shinny areas) with a Scotch Bite pad and no weights found on those two. Feel better now knowing the truth. thanks

Wondering if anyone is in the know about whether weights are always required when new tyres are fitted to rims. I've had 4 new tyres fitted to me ute rims that I took to the tyre business off the car and when I went to fit them I noticed 2 of the rims had no weights. Today I've taken the ute for...

Left side of engine, how about the air conditioner compressor.

Might be one of the wheel hubs, we had both replaced at 160,000 because of this kind of noise.

How about theses 16'' Statesmen rims, we have a one down from standard suspension and these full up the wheel arch beautifully and even better yet with the higher wall the ride is perfect even in outback Queensland.

Hows the refurbishment going and is the window jammed up or down, is it jammed or has the regular just stopped working? 5 years ago I replaced the back left and the regulator had failed while in the lowered position. Easy enough job with only a little bit of calling Jesus all kind of names. I...

We have four of the ADB slotted rotors for when towing the camper or trailer and they do an amazing job. Just for normal driving conditions I couldn't see the worth in replacing all four but hey if having them makes you hard then why not. For the towing I'm about the replace all four rotors on...

5 years ago we were looking into replacing both entire head lights and after seeing the costs we decided to keep them and instead give them a good restoration. All we did to bring them back to like new is give them an ultra fine wet sanding, a polish using a polishing wheel on a electric drill...

Yesterday we took the beast for a quick 600 klm drive to collect a pedestal drill and a workshop press. A 40 degrees day and no complaining, I'm amazed how well she runs even at 340,000.

Can we have a look see at the car to see what might be suitable and what kind of rim diameter are you wanting to go.

Alrighty then and thanks.

I sure do hope its the A/C drain, I to had a puddle during our recent 44 days to. Service, Christ no why not do it yourself its an easy enough job.

Wondering if anyone has seen these rear sway bar link red covers before and would there be any beneficial use for them or are they just a looks good gimmick. Repco Nolathane sway bar link

We had the same kind of issue at 240,000ish and the guys here recommended changing the throttle position sensor which fixed the issue until 340,000 ks. Popped on a new sensor and shes back to purring again.

We've only used the Nulon 20/50 its entire life and she's still purring at 340,000 ks and just recently we've started using the Nulon high kilometer 20/50, don't know if its any different to the normal Nulon 20/50.

2 years ago after 15 years od use we had our system serviced because it too was only blowing cool and after having a air conditioning place replace a few parts ($680) all is good again and she's still blowing crispy cold during our recent weeks of 40 degrees days.

Take the beast to Pedders and have them do all the maths and fittings.

An interesting post, power mode yes I've seen the button but have never turned it on.

How do we go about finding the correct year of the vehicle were looking for, we use the Max Ellery repair manual and I'm keen to find the online manual for our Subaru Outback and your attachment only has a 2017 manual.

Which Holden is this, I thought Holden ended on the 20th October 2017 and along with it the Commodores.

Picked up the Repco sensor today, now to install it when the temp gets below 40.

Throttle Position Sensor thanks, we changed that one with a genuine Holden product 150,000 k's ago. I'll see if Repco has one or can order one.

Thanks guys, what's the TPS and no its no revving just doesn't want to change up without tickling it.

Wondering if anyone might have come up against this auto transmission issue. I take off from the lights and the transmission doesn't want to change up into second so we have to back off a tad and go again and it chances up straight away. The transmission seems to be doing this about 50 percent...

This ones a bit like the oil question so here's my 10 cents worth. Purchased a set of these Bosh spark plugs - HR8DPP30V Have traveled about 100,000 ks and no cleaning done and she still fires up first pop. I also purchased a set for our Subaru Outback.

Purchased a genuine Holden one from the Lions Den on ebay, can't remember how much. Reasonable price I think.
