    Need help electrics

    This is exactly what a warranty is for! And if you live a distance from the dealer make them send a tow truck and pick it up, and a replacement car for you. A friend of mine had key troubles with his VZ SS and the dealer paid for the tow truck to come pick up the car, and gave him a temporary...

    Engine Light on!

    Ok then that wasn't particularly what I wanted to hear. Im pretty sure its a fuel problem though because on the days when it wont start i take out the fuel pump relay and then start the engine and let it burn off the excess fuel then put the relay in just before it dies and it runs fine.

    Diff squeaking

    Yeh not sure, originally they told me it was a wheel bearing which is what i suspected it to be as well. But i couldnt hear the noise that they said it was. They did say that they put it on the hoist and could hear bearings in the diff grinding. I took it to my normal mechanic and he is takin...

    Ford GT-P or VZ R8

    Thats a real nice story bangers. :clapping: Good choice on the R8! Honesty the fords are good but the HSV's have had years on improvment give ford 15years and they might have the experience of HSV. In the end its preference to the brand and the feel of the car for yourself no matter what you...

    nearly stalls crap idle

    I had the same problem with my Berlina as well and found out it was bad fuel. What fuel do you use? If you use 91RON try some octane booster it helps quite a bit. Otherwise if you can afford it and use Optimax or equivilent.
