Thanks for reply mate Yes actually. Probably 3 or so months ago, passenger fender due to getting backed into.. I wouldn’t have thought they’d have touched anything else. Any ideas where to look?

Recently I’ve had an issue with the passenger headlight which Holden can’t seem to figure out (no surprise there) So the passenger headlight goes down to a low beam, (Parker light) and the indicator when applied is also dimmed. In addition the little indicator on the passenger side of the car...

And this is the standard lighting, the passenger headlight still in Parker and the side indicator on.

This is when the high beams are turned on. As you can see the side indicator is on and the passenger headlight is off.

Honestly if they hadn’t been so good to me in the past (I know, it’s a rare occurrence that a dealer actually dealt with someone’s issues professionally) I’d happily cause them some headaches. They’ve definitely tested my patience the last few visits..

Very true, thanks for the advice

It was a warranty job as the previous part had severely faded in under 16 months. They have tried fitting it twice and failed embarrassingly.

Picked myself up a white black pack commodore about 4 months ago and unfortunately a truck flicked a rock up and gave me a nasty paint chip on the rear drivers side door. In terms of having the chip fixed what are my options?

I bought the sv6 blackpack and I was told when I asked about the spare that from factory with this model you only got 4 and the stock spare, to buy the 5th it was going to be an extra 1k.. I'll have to size them up this afternoon and see. I got 3 quotes, one of which being the most expensive...

Wasn't sure where to ask this but anywho. Got my new sv6 vf about a month ago and unfortunately whilst dodging an incompetent driver I nicked the gutter and scratched one wheel. 2 questions, what price range should I be looking at for a good repair job. Also will I incur problems if I drive...

Thanks for all the help guys, I'll be getting the injectors cleaned and using the additive for lifters and will post back on results, thanks again!

So my car is in a crisis at the moment, first the strut hats are worn, then needed engine mounts to be replaced, then had a pressure test which resulted in heater fore leak and now I believe the water pump is leaking. Noticed a fresh coolant stain directly under pump and upon further inspection...

Well the sound hasn't come back since, mind you I've only done a couple of 10 or so minute drives. However I've come across even more problems with it that'll need clearing up but if/when it comes back I'll take the rocker covers off and have a squizz.

Would a broken spring be a definite constant tap? I turned the car over this morning and it did it for a matter of seconds and stopped. I was thinking perhaps maybe a sticky lifter? Or does a broken spring give off same symptoms?

So it started for the first time this morning then went away after a few minutes. It was fine the next few drives but has come back and stayed. There is a serious lack of power and the tapping increases with acceleration. I've had a listen and can't pin point anywhere in particular. Last oil...

Yea I understand there's no correct way, I've ordered a replacement but I'm just flat out for a few weeks and just need a temp fix

So I've got a heater core leak confirmed by mechanic and pressure test. I don't have the time to fix at the moment and I'd like to temporarily bypass it. Other than the engine running a litter hotter will it cause other problems and what's the correct way to do it?

Yea drivers side is fine. I had my old headlight which hazed and tried that globe from that but still no luck. But if it were the bulb it wouldn't work even when using high beam..

So the passenger headlights on my vt won't turn on, I've checked the bulbs and fuses as well as the wiring in the light and all is fine. The indicator still works. However when using high beam the lights turn on. Any ideas to a fix would be great thanks. Feel free to ask more questions

So I've replaced the light via warranty aaaand still not fixed. I've checked all fuses and had a quick look at the wiring and all looks ok. Any other ideas?

So recently due to my passenger headlight going foggy I replaced it, was fine up until about 2 weeks ago when the Parker and Main light stopped working. I tested all the headlights wires and they're fine. The globes are all fine. I plugged the old one in and it works. What gets me is that when I...

Just wandering roughly what a re-gas costs? I've looked local and its around 165, am I getting ripped off or?

Yea I had same thing happen. But I've tried yanking; I've tried holding the motor while someone yanks the antenna, the bugger is in tight... But yeah they reckon just yank but had no luck...

So I've got the new antenna from supercheap but can't for life of me get the old one out of the motor, I've got the spine out but it's locked in. Tried several times but it's a stiff bastard, any ideas?

So my girlfriends Apollos head gasket **** itself, so the car sat around for a couple of months before we got around to fixing It, everything was running smoothly until she tried going 80 in which the speedo got stuck at 70, no matter how fast she went it wouldn't go up, but then it would drop...

So the check strap is shitting it on my vt series 1, well it's lowered the door and is quite a challenge to open (clunks into each groove when opening) is it possible to lift the door up via jack and adjust it somehow? Or just replace the buggers?

Alright so I've just jacked it up and bled all the brakes and had a squizz at the callipers/slides and on the rear drivers they were pretty sticky so I'd say without a doubt they were getting stuck but I've greased them up and I suppose only time will tell if it fixes the problem. They slid...

So today upon brakin my car made a grinding sound, upon inspection my "oh so reliable" vt has stripped rear drivers pads, however the rear passenger side are fine, I replaced them just over a year ago with bendix. I can only think that there's an air lock in the left side? Suggestions? Thanks in...

Ok so I want to remove the inlet manifold/plenum (what I believe it's called) and give it a clean and replace the gasket, but for the life of me I can't find what the gasket is called, it's probably a stupid question but yeah, that's my dilemma.. Thanks

It sounds like it's coming from the front left. Ill have a squiz at the pads and I'll grab the paste. I've got rear rotors ready to change as they're pretty worn. In terms of warping I've noticed now and again that when applying brakes it feels like it gets hard then eases as though it's...

I drive a vt v6 and had this issue come and go every now and then but appears to be a tad more frequent, around 60ks and up the squeal randomly starts and either applying brakes or turning right stops it but it returns straight after. It'll come and go as it pleases, Ive only come up with maybe...

Could be your radiator cap no longer holding pressure or maybe one of the radiator hoses not clamped properly but yeah like stated above get a pressure test done asap because it will bite you in the ass. Steam won't necessary leave a puddle. And you may be leaking coolant but it won't show...

I'll have a look at the check strap, what is involved in changing them? A matter of pulling the interior off, supporting te door and a few bolts or? When I changed the pins I took note that the top one was almost out so Id say it contributed to whatever has faulted now, but they are very right...

so ive had the issue a while now and ive tried replacing the hinge pins which didnt work and its just pissing me off now as its beginning to happen to passenger door, it seems as though its sunk from its position and has 3 spots when opening in which it clunks nto making a loud crack. now i...

Cheers for that mate, sounds pretty straight forward, any idea how many litres I'll need, heard it was up near 7.5 or so?

Looking to change the trans oil but just after the specs and best brand of oil to get. I'm also a bit iffy about where to get a service kit from, I've seen people have got them from eBay but they're non genuine so I'm a bit cautious. And if someone could leave a step by step guide to do a full...

Recently (within last 3 months) I've changed spark plugs, leads, coil packs, oil filter and engine oil but ill have a look at the trans because I have noticed a slight oil leak so perhaps the oil is low... I think I'll get a trans service done and see how that goes, will post findings

98 vt auto.. So it started happening every now and then when I was going up a hill and going around 70-80 and the car wanted to shift up to 4th but instead just made this humming sound from under me towards the rear of car (gearbox?) and wouldn't want to shift and if I took my foot off and put...

Yeah inner guard and then unbolt and supposably with a lot of force rip the old one out but I can't get the room to pull hard enough and can't get the motor out due to all the wires
