    Quick question (faulty fuel guage)

    Done that; goes from 0kms to empty to 16 kms to empty and I have to listen to the beeping all over again. =\ I'm considering hunting down a tray for the Crewman instead of the tub. Pull it all out and replace. Would obviously replace fuely filter while it's all out. Is this a cartridge or...

    New to Commodores, few questions.

    I bought a lockable fuel cap. It was like 18$ from Holden. One size ought to fit all. I was wondering the same thing you are. Seems like someone got lazy there. A friend had a problem getting into some gears. We went under and found a couple of gearbox mounts loose, and shagged engine mounts...

    Quick question (faulty fuel guage)

    Thanks for your reply. I thought it be a bit over the top for it to do that, but I have no time to muck around. It'll probably correct itself on the drive to work tonight, but like you said. Keep an eye on the kilometers Feel sorry for me, I have a Crewman.

    Quick question (faulty fuel guage)

    I searched the forums and found nothing that relates to my question. Fueled up today and gauge still says zero. No, biggy. I just want to make sure the car won't turn off on me thinking it has no fuel in it... When really it has a full tank. It'll probably come good in a couple of days...

    What do you think is the best engine oil - V8

    Royal Purple 10-40. (89$) Penrite 10-50 (60$) Both are just as good.

    Ute Tub Liner Problem?

    No. Mine is screwed on. And is completely sealed up. As said, take it back and have it refitted.

    Ute Tent?

    Mine was free. I'll get a photo tomorrow night for you. It really looks the part too. What do you mean your tub is bigger? Or are you just not talking about a Crewman there?

    Ute Tent?

    I have one for the Crewman, it attatches, as you can see, onto the hardlid. It's excellent. I recommend you get one if you ever do any kind of camping or long holidaying and you don't want to pay for a hotel.

    Is this hunting?

    Hi guys. I did a search but I mostly got camping/hunting type feedback... At idle, seldomly, most noticeable on a hot day. I get a loud vibrating idle... After that the engine temperature will rise, and then drive on a bit and it'll settle down. The best I can describe it as is a real...

    How well has your VY Held up ?

    I have a problem bag Crewman SS. But I love it. So far; Two water pumps. Front end bushings all replaced New clutch. Basically nothing now and nothing in the near future. At 115, 000 kms.

    Features of your car you don't like.

    VY's lack of 'door open' sensor. Annoying safety belt alarm over 25 km/h. I'd rather know my doors are shut than the fact that I'm not wearing my safety belt.

    ideas for 18 inch wheels for calais

    I've always liked the hsv senator wheels. But they've been too expensive for me; I have J series wheels which, in my opinion, are great!

    Pros and cons of vy ute

    Crewman- decent tub. Carries five people. Decent towing capacity. Bad fuel economy.

    The best air intake set up?

    Does the mafless increase fuel economy? Or mainly the otr? I'm definitely considering an otr in the near future, but I wasn't sure if wanted to keep the MAF or not.

    New Crewman

    I'm a massive Crewman fan but this just looks terrible to me. I saw a Caprice for sale on eBay turned into a Crewman too. Another poor specimen.

    VY aircon beneign issue

    I'm not concerned about this, just wondering if it's all VY and similar models or just mine; On a really hot day, with the car sitting outside (no shade at work) when I start the car, there will be a little X on the aircon digital screen. Sometimes it'll pop up after driving for a few seconds...

    What was the last thing you watched?

    A genius in a Holden one tonner with pallets stacked 10 high turn a corner and tip over laterally. Atleast his straps stayed tight.

    Adhesive removal!

    That's the same as what mine is stuck down with. I asked Holden what they used and it's all the same stuff, I was told to use a caramel or vanilla wheel... I only had to do one guard. I couldn't do the whole car! Good luck!

    Adhesive removal!

    I bought a black fender for my Crewman, and it had that plastic prick of a plastic strip down the side of it. I used fishing line and kerosene when I debadged the Chev badges the previous owner put on it, and tried for this too. Nope. I ended up having the snap off all the plastic and used a...

    Arc v MIG Welder

    Save your money and get a AC HF tig machine. Don't bother with gasless welders or any welder with aluminium windings or you'll regret it. Look on eBay or Gumtree for a decent old transfor type welder. Not much can go wrong with MMA but there's obviously alot more to go wrong with GMA, i.e...

    What are these marks?

    "Clay it" Running a (special) clay bar over your car with a fine detailer, which picks up a lot of unseen tiny junk. You should do it before you polish your car, in my opinion. I concur with taking the car back to the mechanic and make a fuss.

    what tyers do you use and how many k's you get.

    Goodyear Eagle F1. A little noisy apparently but I didn't notice it until I went for a pink slip at Jax tyres and they did a complimentary wheel alignment and totally ####ed something... Now I get this whirrrrrrr driving along on some roads. I don't understand it... Anyways, I have had these...

    Clutch noise

    Job done, only took my 5 hours. #### I should've just dropped it into the shop! Anyways, the spigot was... seized onto the input shaft, I spent about half an hour sitting there was my dremel cutting it off. Is it normal for it to not come off with ease? The new bearing just slid on like a wet...

    Clutch noise

    I see. I only noticed it after pulling into my driveway, it seemed free as ever on the rest of the drive. Thanks alot for the input Toey. I will update when I rip it all out with any problems I come across. Thankyou!

    Clutch noise

    Tonight on my drive home from work the clutch pedal started to feel a little dry or gritty when pressed in and out. Hhmm. Hopefully Monday after getting back from Qld I'll have a go at pulling it out. Got some kind of quote from Exedy for about 1600$ for a whole kit, clutch, bearings...

    Clutch noise

    Seems to be happening a bit with hills where I come to a complete stop then start off again.

    Clutch noise

    It almost sounds like the sound of a fan belt slipping, that high pitched whistle, not quite a grinding sound... I replaced the clutch and brake fluid the other day, and it seemed fine, I first heard it Thursday night when I left work. Car was cold then, I heard it about 30 minutes driving...
