I haven't seen this on the forum so I hope I'm not doubling up. Note: this whole job requires care and patience but can be tackled by anyone that can solder well. My Monaro key went flat. I unlocked the car manually with the dead key and the alarm went off. I searched google for answers and I...

Please see my post on page 2. Scrounga

Can the moderators please remove this post and the one following. Thanks.

WAIT WAIT WAIT!!! DoNOT pull the mirror off the windscreen as described above!! I did it as described and as you can see pulled a chunk out of my windscreen. If you look under the mirror stalk where it meets the glass you will see a rectangular slot. Insert a flat bladed screwdriver into this...

Just a note of caution. Take care if purchasing off Ebay as the rear of the console has a similar compartment and the lid is available separately but there is a difference in the shape.

If it's stalling on gas & petrol it's most likely an electrical fault. I have been using LPG for 30 years and whenever there has been a problem with both fuels it's been electrical. Just thought it might help to narrow it down.

Hey thanks guys nice to get some helpful info. Yeti you are spot on as I eventually found out how things line up and the W does indeed line up with the endlink bracket. The instruction I eventually found said "Install the upper spring seat (6). Ensure the double notch in the upper flange of the...

Hi, I have checked the forums and can't find an answer so here I am. All the info says that changing the front springs is very straight forward and so it is except, does anyone know how the top plate relates to the bottom plate (the one welded to the strut). Unlike the previous models the VE...

If you mean the hitch and not the whole receiver (bar) then follow Ricey's instructions above. Look under where the hitch slides in for the bolt. It stop the hitch from rattling. Cheers Stu.

If it's not leaking externally (easily spotted via stains ect) then must be leaking internally ie head gasket. As mentioned get a preasure test done or is the motor running as smooth as normal? If it's developed a rough idle that's bad. Run a compression test or pull the plugs when the engine is...

Just double check that it's actually coolant leaking from the back of the motor as the air con drain is in about the same spot and with all the humidity lately mine drains a fair bit when I turn the engine off. Usually drips slighty to the right hand (passenger) side if looking from the front...

Hi all, I'm replacing my radiator so I decided I would also replace the top and bottom radiator hoses as while I'm at it and was told by Repco that the're a genuine part only as the VZ Monaro ones are a specific part ie different from sedan. Just wondering if anyone knows what the difference is...

Thanks for the reply Ricey. I agree that it doesn't sound like the thermostsat but for the cost $9.70 for the cap and $38 for the thermostat which comes with a new housing (this was trade price from Holden) I decided to buy both as the dealer shut at lunch time. Just got back from a 50Km run...

Thanks for the thought. Checked the thermostat in boiling water and seems to open OK. Just got back from Holden with rad cap and thermostat and will try them both.

Hi guys, Just want to know if anyone has a better theory. On our way back from Melbourne to Canberra today we stopped to change drivers. Shut the engine down and when I can back from the dunny it had dumped a heap of coolant. There was no coolant trail and nothing under the car except where the...

That's a good price. I made my own as the're way to expensive from Holden $170 ouch. If this had been available when I made mine I would have bought it but check how it mounts a the pic is pretty crap. Holden make a nice thick plastic one as well that matches the grill but not for Omega. Bummer...

The only way to learn is have a go but Jesus. I kicked myself when I buggered the clock spring but I am a hell of a lot wiser now as are you. There are a lot of "Nay sayers" and "I told you so's" on the forums but I'm sure you've gone over it a thousand times in your head already. I guess the...

$349 for my dual fuel V6 Omega ute last week in Canberra.

Thanks for the help guys. I think I will leave it and try and find a set of white ones instead. Cheers Stu.

Well done! I find theses forums fantastic for getting info. I had the same questions when fitting a towbar to my Omega ute but luckily I had bought the bar from a wrecker and once I found out that my problem was I was missing half the harness I just went back and they gave me the rest which...

If you have tried a set please let me know what the quality is like, do they fit well and do they stay on. I have a white Omega ute and I think the chrome might look better than the crappy black ones. Thanks, Stu.

Hi all, just a few things to make life a little easier. 1st I just used a short pair of long nose pliers in the closed position to release the air bag. Pushed the point into the slot and the handles made it a lot easier to lever as your using your whole hand. 2nd why bother buying a Torx bit...

Hi guys, I just replaced the steering wheel on my VE omega ute with a leather VE one from Feebay and when I turned the ignition on I got the airbag fault warning and none of the stereo controls would work so, I changed it back and I've still got the airbag warning and no stereo controls. For...

Finally an answer!!! Well, everyone (Dealership, forum ect.) kept telling me that it just plugs into the original harness ect but I couldn't find where so I took the car down to the dealership with the tub liner loose so they could take a look. The service guys couldn't find where the plug I...

Hi guys, OK I sourced a genuine Holden VE Ute towbar from the local wreckers which came with a harness but while the bar it's self only took an hour to fit I have spent a lot more time trying to find where the harness plugs in. The harness is about a meter long with a Holden 7 pin flat plug that...
