True, it'd be easier to just give them what they want. But I'd hate to think that if a officer really wanted to give me a hard time for whatever reason and that spare screwdriver under the seat you forgot about becomes a weapon if they find it and then other things they can pick on. If it would...

As a Victorian resident what are my rights when it comes to car searches etc? If you're in a high crime rate area can they just search your car for no reason or do they always need a warrant?

Ok thanks, same profile tyre all around? Looking at some SSV wheels on gumtree some guys have different profiles on the rears to fronts

My bad I meant to say MY14 but if theres no real differences thats the main concern

Thanks heaps for the info guys There's a serious price difference between series II and I so I was aiming for a series I Calais V, since what I can gather the little extra cost from a standard calais to a V seems to be worth it. I'm not too fussed on the 19 inch alloys, I'd be looking at...

Much differences between MY13 and MY15 models?

I was looking at just regular Calais, what are the main differences between Caliais and the V? Worth the cost ?

Interested in getting a VF Calais but just a few quick ones I'm only getting a 6 and there's a significant price difference between series 1 and 2 What differences are there for a 6 cylinder and which would be better? What issues are known with these VF models that I may need to look into...

Want to change the festoon lights in my door.. is there an easier way than taking off the door trim to get access?

yeah i connected the battery and the alarm was going off then i tried to turn the car on and it revved up a bit then died off. alarm was still going it didnt stop. I think the contact on the key is **** as well, this is a nightmare. Would turning the car to the on position and then connecting...

I finally got my bonnet open to change the battery and upon connecting my new battery the car alarm started going off, my key remote doesnt work so ive had to manually unlock the doors and I put my key in the ignition and tried starting it when the car alarm was going off but it didnt work.. i...

jacked up the car, got to the latch and jumper leads connected it unlocked.now it just ticks a lot when i turn the key... definitely need a new battery

yeah i tried that just then, the key doesnt go all the way to the base and i turned it.. didnt really hear a click but i pulled the handle... nothing am i doing it wrong? feels like the key is going to break if i push in any harder

Hey, my car has a flat battery and is completely deadlocked. Put the key in, turned it and still wouldnt open, I turned it really heard and kept pulling the handle and still wouldnt open... I'm parked out on the street of my place so its very frustrating... how do I go about getting this...

Didnt want to make my own thread sorry, but I took my l67 snout off since it was rattling and thought it needed a coupling change. The oil has leaked out and the gear on the passenger side has teeth broken off! Can you just replace that gear?

Car has been having overheating problems lately, put it down to the thermostat. Heard its a bit of a big job, where abouts is the throttle body located on the L67? And do i need to take anything else off to get to it? I'm going to be changing the supercharger coupling since it is rattling...

Ok thanks mate, is there a way I can drive it so the mechanic with the caliper not bolted on? can I clamp it to something so it wont come loose for a trip?

so probably a couple hundred bucks?

Think were getting a bit off topic on these spelling mistakes. How much would it cost to take it to a professional roughly? and they would replace the bolts too?

Never bled the system before, is there a write up here? big job?

Yeah some has mate, not absolutely pissing out but some has come out

Brake caliper has came off the other night driving on the highway. Upon inspection the two bolts holding it have gone missing, and would explain the noise I've been hearing which I thought was something rolling around in my boot or something with my speaker. Is it at as simple as getting new...

No but these new seats I've put in have a different plug. They dont plug into the one that the car has, hence why I've had to splice the wires

No as in the memory bank seats are no longer in the car, it had a lot of wires. I've put in new seats which only have the two so a lot of the wires arent connected into a plug the power and ground were just spliced, im thinking one of the wires needs power just not sure which one.

Put new seats into my VY II. The original seats has the memory bank and everything, where as the new seats didnt. I've wired the power to the seats so the controls work but now the side mirrors dont move. Is this to do with the seats? If so which wire do I have to give power to?

Yeah the top one was cold, the bottom one was kind of warm, I kept my hand on it and it didnt burn or anything. Thermostat a prick of a job on a L67?

On my way to work this morning car overheated, when I pulled over popped the hood no visible leaks, hoses didnt feel hot or anything Same thing happened in the morning a month ago. I just let it cool off back down to normal operating temp then drove off and it didnt overheat again, anyone...

Yep. cylinder 2 and 4 were switched around. I've changed spark plugs and coil leads but it's still taking a few tries to get the engine going? what could it be

changed the coil leads on my Vy series 2 supercharged 6 Calais with top gun heavy duty leads and now the car is idling real rough, shaking etc. wasn't doing this before. What is causing this?

Haven't changed spark plugs. About 1698xx something k's

Seems like every now and then (can occur multiple times in a day) sometimes I will turn the key and the car will try to start up then die, but the second time i turn the key the car starts fine.. sometimes I have to hold the key forward a little longer for the motor to start running. Already got...

All good, figured it out today. One of the wires clipped out near the top hidden out of view so now its fine!

Changed the actuator on my drivers side door, but now the door handle on the outside won't unlock the door. I know I've missed the wire that I'm meant to attach to the actuator but I can't seem to see which one I've missed? I'm pretty sure i clipped back on the wires that I took off when...

Did this to my VY calais. Looks good, but only problem is the hot spot it has.

I put one of my guitar strings I had lying around into the holes and wiggled it around and to no success.

Just bought a VY II supercharged calais and loving it. Noticed that the right window nozzle just won't shoot out water at all. Not sure if its blocked or if the hoses are playing up, tried to follow the hoses but they seem to disappear into the car and seems like a lot of effort just to check...

Planning to sell my WH statesman soon. First of all the boot is locked and won't open, it doesnt have a key entry, its all remotely released with the key. and the glove box button. When I press either the key remote or the glove box release, it makes the noise that its released but the boot is...
