Its quiet enough already. At 60kmh+ you cant even hear it when cruising, same at 100kmh. Only when taking off can you hear it and at idle but it isnt anything like the last catback i had. This is the SS which i had a Redback Catback - this is the sound i wanted but didnt get this time. VX SS...

Bought and fitted a Redback Cat back to my WK Statesman and am disappointed with the lack of exhaust note. Not much rumble and not very loud at all. I had one fitted to a VX SS and it sounded a lot better than this does. Im thinking i might replace the front 2 mufflers with hotdogs, just like...

Found the answer and it worked. Thanks google. We clicked "Compact messages" in Outlook Express and the last - Microsoft Community

So i ended up buying a reco tailshaft that had a new centre bearing and was balanced as well. Fitted it up today and the shudder is completely gone. Thanks for your help.

Every so often, Outlook wants to compact files and clean up etc. That happened today and now i have lost the last 6 months of emails. Not real handy when your trying to run a business from home. Anyone know how to get the emails back into Outlook? They arent in the deleted folder or anywhere...

They are called Scrivets.

Check the inner caliper to make sure it is retracting and not touching the disc. Usually this type of noise would be your LHF wheel bearing in your case, but you said you changed them though.

Pictures would go a long way.

So the shudder is all gone? The uni joints are replaceable at all?

Much appreciated. This shudder doesnt make sense - it only happens at low speed. If something needed balancing, in theory it would be much worse at higher speeds. Im willing to bet that this has been experienced and resolved by many - surely it cant just be 2 WKs. Just found this - could be it...

Im really interested in this as well. I have just bought a WK LS1 Statesman and it has the same issue - a shudder at 25-40kmh. Doesnt change whether cornering, driving in the wet or in any other condition. I too assumed it would be the tail shaft rubber but im not so sure at this point.

Keep in mind who had to change what i really said to get that sig. If your going to quote someone, do it properly. I actually said if it isnt done properly, it will reduce the handling. Dont let the facts get in the way though. Keep on :blah blah::blah blah::blah blah::blah blah::blah...

Well good on you. Obviously not everyone does that now do they. Its also a legal requirement that you have your car in a RWC at all times too - bet there arent too many cars here they would be - yours included.

Whats really funny about this thread is that Commodores have a well known fault for blowing brake lights themselves. You could well be driving around with just one, or no brake lights yourself. How many people actually know if they have a brake light out anyway? Its not like you can really...

Cant believe there's a 2 page thread about this. YOU are 100% at fault. YOU merged into traffic when it was not safe to do so which caused an accident. It doesnt matter how many times you checked your mirrors, how far out of the space you were or how fast you were going - you caused an accident...

It will look like it does on the Challenger - CRAP. If thats what 'car build' has become, then the local pre school has a chance. (Not knocking the actual Challenger, just the "work" that went into it)

I could try it and see what happens - still sounds risky though. I can use the surrounds as they arent needed anyway. What kind of business's could i ask for advice? Auto Paint shops? where else?

You dont reckon Hydrochloric Acid would eat the ABS or make it brittle? What percentage were you thinking of? Have you done this yourself or are you just guessing that it would work?

Anyone else?

Really makes you wonder what they were thinking! Here some other ones that really make you wonder............ YouTube - vw beetle and golf (rabbit) crash test YouTube - Vw Bus Crash Test

what i drive is of little concern to what a VP is worth, and FYI i dont have rich parents and i didnt need finance - i paid for it myself out of my own money - that i worked for. There are a ton of VP's out there with less Km's than yours, havent been hacked with a spray can and have in date...

$500. High Km's and out of date gas. Thats all its worth.

have heard that some paint strippers will dissolve ABS, which is why im trying to find a specific product that will work and not destroy the plastic. Clean them :rofl2:

id get under there and degrease everything and then see where the oil is coming from. No need to drive thecar, just let it run - check for leaks and then a short drive if there were none.

It would probably leak constantly but when drievn harder it would be more likely to leak a lot faster (oil thins etc). Wouldnt think that it would spray the exhaust though. clean where the box joins the engine and see if there is oil there later. Grab a fire extinguisher as well - just incase.

Funny, our S2 VT Exec has the harness hanging from the drivers side shock tower - go check again. I added cruise control to ours (Police Pack) and it was all just plug and play. Didnt need to add different looms or anything. Added the module, added the cable to the T.B changed the stalks and...

Id start at 10k - you wont get any more for it and no one will bother looking if you start higher. At the end of the day, its a VT, which is at least 10 years old - if not older.

I had an old Toyota Super Saloon years ago. The power steering hose let go and sprayed the exhaust manifold with oil. This in turn produced a rather large cloud of smoke which blew out of the gaps in the bonnet. I thought the radiator had let go, so i opened the hood and thats when i saw flames...

Couldnt find anywhere else to put this so i put it here. Does any know or have experience in removing factory paint from ABS plastic? The plastic in question are the outer door handles and i need to strip the paint back so it is bare plastic. However, the plastic cannot be damaged in the...

Thank you for the quick reply.

A quick question if i could about if the Kms (Odo) are always displayed on a VZ (Acclaim to be exact). When the car is locked or even unlocked but there are no keys in the ignition, can you see how many Kms it has done? If they arent displayed, is there a way to find out without using the keys...

you just get your friend to write out a reciept for the parts - they dont have to be brand new from a shop.

its a welding job. before you go hacking into it, get a professional panel beater to pull as much out as he can and straighten the rest up. If you bought it as a repairable write off then you will need to get it done by a qualified person. Look up on Vicroads website and read what needs to be...

No you dont. You dont need to remove any part of the window except the regulator. Talk about making an easy job hard.

and as such, they have to meet standards to be sold in Australia. I have the 504 Gold Slotted on my BA and cant fault them. Just dont bother with their pads - they are crap.

Just get the VIV and sell it. What is it worth as a complete unit? whatever you paid for it and whatever you spent on it + a little bit of pocket cash. Without seeing it, no one is going to be able to say.

I used to use just ordinary unleaded in my mower - for a good 10 years even - and then one day i decided to see what would happen if i ran some BP Ultimate in it. If you've never done it - you should. This thing has never ran so good in its life. It revved harder, it ran better, it cut better...

Your key fob is flat. Replace and recode and your car will start. Had this happen in the VT last year

SOLD - lock it up.

what insurance like for it?
