    Astra AC dead, not compressor at fault ?

    True, I remember I had this issue with my VP back in the day, low pressure switch kept kicking it on and off constantly and it was hell annoying. But this car isn't even trying. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

    Astra AC dead, not compressor at fault ?

    But apparently these cars use the BCM to control revs as soon as you press the button, so shouldn't the revs change regardless? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

    Astra AC dead, not compressor at fault ?

    Hi guys, Sister's Astra A/C doesn't work. Thought if test to see if it was the common compressor issue. Put a circuit tester over the compressor switch, no voltage no amperage. No change in RPM when A/C button is on, compressor isn't engaging either. Light goes on the LED when the button is...

    Changed ignition barrel, steering lock jammed whilst car is moving??

    Right before the installation step: "1: Verify the steering column is not locked. If the steering column is locked, complete the following steps: 1.1. Inspect the inside of the ignition lock cylinder housing (1) on the steering column. 1.2. Locate the steering column lock tab (3) on the...

    Changed ignition barrel, steering lock jammed whilst car is moving??

    It's funny because I followed that step by step completely. There's another guide on the GTO forums in the US that's almost identical except in the step before you install the barrel back in, it asks to ensure steering lock is disengaged. If it is engaged, it tells you how to disengage it using...

    Changed ignition barrel, steering lock jammed whilst car is moving??

    Well, firstly, you don't know my profession lol. Secondly, 4 locksmiths out of the 5 had no idea and one told me I broke my steering rack and needed a new one at $1000+ Mechanics refused to touch it, and I should probably if that is the case then pay a mechanic to change my headlights, or pay a...

    Changed ignition barrel, steering lock jammed whilst car is moving??

    Called 5 locksmiths, they've all never heard of the issue, but one told me if I had issue getting the last 5mm of the barrel back in (which I did) I've most likely forgotten to disengage the steering lock which is a little pin at the back of the ignition barrel housing. Apparently I push that...

    Changed ignition barrel, steering lock jammed whilst car is moving??

    The barrel is made by NICE products who apparently made the original. It isn't turning as smoothly as the last one and the barrel isn't sitting flush against the shroud anymore. A locksmith I just called said I might need a new rack. I don't believe that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -...

    Changed ignition barrel, steering lock jammed whilst car is moving??

    Hi guys, My WLs ignition barrel seized up on the weekend in the heat and left me stranded. Ended up being able to move it by hammering the key while turning it over. Replaced the barrel yesterday (put the old key corridor into the new barrel housing) and now it turns over perfectly fine. This...

    WL Sunroof (Also any VT-VZ Sunroof) Re-Program?

    Hey mate, they need to be reprogrammed but I forget the button sequence to do it. If you call this sunroof joint in Burwood VIC they can tell you over the phone how to fix it (just google hollandia sunroofs burwood, I forget the business name) Also, try removing and reinstalling the sunroof...

    Stupid stuff you've done to satisfy your own curiosity.

    Lol do I really have to explain? If I pack fudge that means that I am the one 'giving', I am packing the fudge into the receiving party who holds the fudge. That raises the question, does a woman not fudge? If a woman does indeed fudge, and you engage in anal with a woman, where YOU are the one...

    If Holden goes, what happens to HSV?

    But in saying that it's undeniable that GM will be better off removing the plants in Australia than continuing. Yes fine it may sting the localised economy in those areas, but the cost to the corporation to continue producing a car in a country where it costs considerably more to produce the...

    If Holden goes, what happens to HSV?

    Not everyone in Australia works in the motor industry, and certainly not all of them work for a doomed Holden plant lol... I can see the economic reasons for shutting down the Australian division and a couple thousand plant workers who probably A. Rarely bought a new Holden, and B. Got some...

    If Holden goes, what happens to HSV?

    I can see why GM want to do it, but look back at some of the stupidity of the general Australian public. Opel was killed off in under 12 months here because it was an unfamiliar brand, all it reminded me of was back in the Button Badge-Engineering days. There was no reason the Lexcen sold worse...

    If Holden goes, what happens to HSV?

    There were a few articles in the news late last night that GM executives want to also kill off Holden (understandably, they're not producing cars anymore, just rebadging Chevrolets) According to an 'insider' Holden has been fighting to keep their identity with GM for a decade. Sent from my...

    If Holden goes, what happens to HSV?

    So more news speculating that just ceasing Australian production isn't the whole story, and that GM want to rebrand all Holden dealerships to Chevrolet in the future. So that leaves a question - HSV yesterday discretely stated they plan on staying post-2017, if all dealerships are rebranded to...

    Severe knock retardation getting worse?

    Hey guys, So about 6 months ago I had my WL statesman alloytec remote tuned. Was really happy with the tune, fuel economy got better and she just ran a whole lot nicer. One thing I was warned about was fuel quality. I was told to use 98 where possible and if feeling cheap occasionally use 95...

    Hey guys, Recently my statesman has started ticking really loud. I'm talking loud as in driving along a street with the window down and the tick sound reflects off the gutter back at me and is really noticeable. Doesn't get quieter with time or speed, it's rev dependant, doesn't sound like a...

    That was like the bad press they got for a person having an all day pass for like $20 or some crap allowing you to travel as many times as you want for that day, which was for non-frequent users Yet frequent users who had an etag could cross like 6 tolls a day and then it became more expensive...
