    i think it was an additional option to get a lsd, as for the rims have a look through the my commodore section, that would be the best bet as most people would put up what rims they have

    VX S (manual) pack did not come with LSD standard... it was an option.

    Not sure about the l67 automatic version...

    sorry for the change in subject.
    my mate went to look at a vt commodore. Apparently under the radiaor cap there was a tiny bit of an oil feel to it and also the surface of the coolant there was a tiny bit of an oily tinge only in the light you would notice it. The coolant was still green though even after coming back from a drive and undoing the rad cap the colant was green and did not have any visable oil in it exept for what was mentioned I'm not too sure when the last coolant change was. Its in an manual vt exec 3.8. anyone know what it could be?

    Most likely Inlet Manifold Gasket, least likely auto cooler splitting in radiator and even more unlikely given no other symptoms are showing head gasket/cracked head. My money's on the LIM gasket.

    A bit of a hassle, not overly hard but you need the correct tools and at least a whole weekend, do it with someone that has some experience not first timers.

    ok thanks, what things roughly have to come off?
    the gasket is the one between the head and intake manifold that would be leaking? never though there would be coolant and oil in there just intake gases.
    If I was to put a radiator pressure tester onto the radiaor would it show a drop if the intake manifold gasket is leaking?
    thank you

    LSD is an option on all models other than SS and Clubbys etc. My S pack L67 is a single spinner.
