Bumping for more advice

Jeez sounds like you got lucky, nice work Trying ebay now, but there are so many fees 7.90% of the price i sell at, i have to pay ebay... Edit: Actually, it's only $45 fixed That's not too bad I guess

Looking into ebay and carsales now, do you know of any other sites I can try my luck?

Rego just ran out, and I doubt any one would wanna buy a lemon? Or do you mean use ebay/carsales and sell as parts?

I just blew my head gasket and it's not worth repairing I have bought a lot of new parts for it recently (battery, brakes, tyres, plugs, leads etc) How much should I be getting for it? It still runs fine, but I don't know for how long Thanks guys!

Thanks for the reply man! Well i was way off with the suspension guess lol Is it possible to replace it yourself?

Hey guys So i was driving out of a really steep driveway and i heard a massive clunk, didn't think much of it but as i was driving, i noticed my suspension was making weird noises each time i would drive over bumps but my steering is unharmed Checked it the next day and, here's a picture...

Went to supercheap today and picked up an 'ultra hi performance' (lol) battery and that seemed to do the trick! Thanks so much for all your help guys, now i don't have to take the bus everywhere :D

Thank you for the advice guys, i really appreciate it! and3rs, my car is currently dead as a rock, the trip meter shows no sign of life. but do you think it would be worth it to jump start it again and spend an hour bringing it back to speed to see if it is the alternator? I dont know...

Also, when i went to check it after i cleaned the terminals/jump started the car, the trip meter/radio were kind of dim, i think. And when i went to unlock the car with the button it like half opened, i had to use the key to open the door.

Hey guys I have a 98 Vt Exec and lately ive been having some problems with either the battery or the alternator. First off, the problem occured when i couldnt start my car in the morning. It kept clicking and didnt feel as if it wanted to turn over. Then i left it for a day and tried to start...

Hey guys My car has been overheating quite a bit ever since i got it serviced from bay city holden I checked my coolant and noticed that it was reading empty levels so i topped it off and as i was doing it, it was literally gushing out at the bottom lol So how do i go about fixing this? I...

Hey guys I have a 1998 VT Exec, all was going sweet with it until I got it serviced a couple weeks ago at Holden and now ive been having some issues with it First up, i was driving to work then the temp gauge started climbing. Checked the radiator cap and no water or nothing was spewing out...

Hey guys I have a 98 VT Exec, and everytime i start it up and well, turn, the car starts to make a whining noise I think it may be the power steering belt or the fact that my power steering fluids are low-ish How can i get it fixed and how urgent is it ? Cheers GUYS! :)

Hey guys, im up to that point where i need to service my car, im about 1000km's over so i think its about time i do something about it Im not too fussed on the price, if i have to go to the mechanics i will but i rather learn for future use so with that, whats needed to be done to the car and...

Those rims look tough, and theyre different, but in a good way i guess Love the boot, where can i grab one of those from :P

Do you put your car in neutral and rev it a bit when you switch over?

^^ I mean, in what ways is the Alloytec better than the Ecotec?

I think im leaning towards getting a VY/VZ, itll be better in the long run and then i probably wont regret spending so much on my VT if i were to sell it one day, cars arent forever ;) I have no clue about the Alloytec, how is it any better than the ecotec engine in the VY?

Is there any difference between the VY and the VZ, that are noticeable i should add I know spending more sounds good, but then ill have to save more and the longer i keep my vt, the more money i lose on it cos i have to get a major service in 3000 k's :/ Wish i could but im a red p-plater :(...

Wow thanks for the input guys! :) Yeah i agree too, the senator kit im looking at is so schmiiiiiik, but i heard its a real hassle painting and then fitting the kit, and fibreglass gets damaged easy? First off, i love your little slogan "Ecotec kicked in yo" hahaha And if i did stick with...

Hey guys Im kind of caught up in the whole red pill/blue pill dillema I have a 1998 VT Executive that i bought 2 months ago for $4500. (Talked the guy down from $6000) It's done 180K km's, dual fuel, wicked condition, rego till next July, serviced regularly, my first car too But i really want...

Not bad for a first car :o Post some pictures of your car then it'd be easier to see what wheels would suit it I was looking on ebay the other day for some wheels and they had a few in your price range, it just depends what you like

$100? Eeek thats a bit pricy, theres hardly anything to paint, only the bottom lip of the garnish since the middle part will be covered by my big ass license plate lol

Hey guys I havent been a total noob and just asked this question straight away, i searched a fair few threads and couldnt really find anything about painting the VX Calais garnish, only on painting the vt lights or the vx garnish I got a 98 VT Exec and heres what i have Uploaded with...

Gday guys I have a 98 VT executive on factory gas and i need some tips for driving it I do about 50-100km's driving each day to work and uni, and being the cheap ass that i am i seem to only use gas, but is this bad for the engine? i never fill up my unleaded tank, so i always start on gas and...
