Police alternator. I think the standard alternator is 90amp, but that there was a police pack alternator of 120 amps. Not sure of my facts,...
Paint Change? I thought the upgrade in paint to 2 pack came with the VRII?
Manual Transmission. I believe that the VR also had the Borg Warner manual transmission, whereas the VS like mine has the Getrag.
Calibration Error. In the VR/VS at least, the calibration is a + or - to allow for error in the empty reading.
Patience can be a virtue! I have always been reluctant to buy a new model first up. I have had great reliability (and a very good price)...
Calibration Process. With fuel used, it is probably best to calibrate over a significant number of tanks. I try to use around 500 litres, and...
Hi, I am well aware of the difference between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 instrument clusters in VN to VS. However, I have a couple of...
Plus 10??? The 602/625 look within reason, but I am very surprised by the +10. Are you sure that it is +10, or might it be +1.0? This...

Best Advice! Based on an article in today's papers, maybe the best advice is to wait a few days. Maybe you will be able to get a subsidy to fit...
HSV Patch Cable! For those having trouble sourcing a VR/VS Berlina/Calais/Statesman wiring harness to get the necessary connectors for the trip...
Cluster yes, trip computer no. My understanding is that the cluster instruments will work, provided you are using a VR/VS...
Agree, try leads first. My limited experience points to the ignition leads as the simplest thing to check, and the most likely culprit. With...
Cluster Change OK. I am not an expert on the binnacle guages, but the dash cluster swap is straight forward. The issues are as follows: 1)...
I Lose! Well, I have 9,700 km on a VY Series 2 V6 Manual. I expect it to last a few more years yet.
Different Views. Isn't it great. We can have differing views and still not bop each other on the head. Well most of us anyhow. IMHO, the big...
Penrith Auto Electrician Hi, Sorry for the delay. Got too busy. The following has done a conversion as discussed above: PEACHTREE AUTO...
It was during daylight hours of course! Ah, could it be that it was daytime?
Manuals and base models. My concern has been more regarding the lack of manual transmissions in the upmarket models. Early Commodores had...
Level 3 Worth the Effort. Go for the level 3. Look for a second hand cluster with about the right kilometres and for a V6/V8 (whichever you...
Penrith Hi, Can't find them in the phone book at the moment. They were in Peachtree, Penrith. I'll drive by tomorrow and confirm that...
Auto Electrician Charges Hi, I know of an auto electrician (but in NSW) who did a conversion at commercial rates. Cost was $216, including GST.
