Water Cap Lost
I poped my bonnet to find the cap of the water tank missing (Not for washers etc) The water tank for the radiator etc. The radiator is a VR one so i dont know if VN's have the cap there or not. Where can i get a new one? Also is it still ok to drive around town without a cap?
Thanks.

nope, Boil over and out.
Super cheap, or if your a tight arse, go to the wreckers and pocket one.
Cheers dude, how much are they at Supercheap?

Hybrids. Cars for fools.
go to holden there cheaper and beter quality.
Not much from supercrap, $5-$10
They have a little book you can read that will tell you the corect cap, If you have a VR radiator grab one for a VR to be on the safe side. You might want to go the non return type since its in a series 1 VN, IF you's in a series 2 just grab the standard cap with the return.
When its hot allows for expansion and excess collant flows to over flow, when its cooling it sucks it back in etc.
Well would it be alright to drive the car there? Its about 5-10mins away from me. Or will the coolant/water piss out everywhere?

Caps shouldnt fall off, Perhaps it wasnt on properly to begin with.
Btw, Your the first :P
Well im unsure if i even screwed it on. Because the bonnet rarely opens without someone pushing the front down first. Which is a pain in the ass! Supercheap were idiots. Went to my mechanic and he said go to Burson. $15 for a damn cap! Cant wait till the car is gone! Over it completly!

Dam ive never paid that much, And ive never asked for a cap in supershit,
Ive always just walked to the section, flicked through the book looked up the part number, grabed cap, paid and left, Never stung me 15 dollars for one either, Max i think is $10
ouch man.
Yeah, this car has pissed me off. Its draining all my money! Lol. Thats why i want it gone either sell or swap to get a VN Calais. Thats the car i want until im more advanced in life then one day upgrade to a brand newy. No rush for that though.

wants a new car
If you want something thats cheap, don't get another commodore.
Ive wanted a VN Calais for so long, just finding one in good cond. Is pretty hard. Most have 300000+ k's on them.

Lol if you want a cheap arsed car you wont haft to touch, buy a camry.
Any VN you find you will haft to work on, Its given for there age, and possibly years of ******** owner's who know stuff all and just treat them like shit.
