take the rubbers out of the wiper arms and soak them for a few hours in ArmourAll or similar.... works an absolute treat!

if the suspension components are OK, like bearing or tierod ends, it could be a bit too much toe-in. if it was wearing on the "inner" edge it would be toe-out.

14 year old thread....happy New Year

Hey guys do the really brittle vapour lines that go to the top of the tank have ANY effect on the performance or economy of the car at all, apart from the in cabin "fuel' smell ??? mine are fairly stuffed !

I feel your pain Bru... just wondering tho, with all the stuff you've changed, have you ever done a computer reset?? since you are chasing your ass anyway, and it wont cost a cent... you just never know!

sorry for the late reply mate, it turned out to be leads! I didn't bother to narrow it down further than left bank, just replaced the lot, even though the old ones checked out fine with a multimeter! thinking back to the last time I had these issues, car still had hesitation under load and...

hey Pete i've been down this road a few times as well, and the best advice was at the start by losh and vs-lover! also be very wary of bench-testing the coils or leads etc, as during the last "miss/hesitate/backfire" experience in my car, all the coils and leads checked out fine, but put them...

mate I'm in Hobart, and I know a place called Tazzy Tyres has a shop up there... have a look on their website usually pretty good to deal with. They go from low price to whatever!

just replaced the pump on a VS wagon, made it easier seeing it in pictures etc, but getting THAT clip off the return hose was a total pain in the *rse for me!!! just had enough clearance by pulling on it firmly, even made up my own special tool but still couldn't get the bitch off! after about...

yep, you have to relieve the pressure as Bowen said, or you can just leave it for 2-3 hrs and it will kind of do it itself. I have no idea when filter was last changed (daughters car and I just try and keep it running) but when I pulled it off it was all clean on inside but I couldn't blow thru...

mine had a similar problem for the last week...bit different from yours but could be related. Week before went to start car, out of the blue had a miss at startup,idle and driving! finally tracked it down to a "dead" ignition lead (top guns 4 months old) found it by pulling each plug and found 1...

nah, haven't had time atm, but I reckon if I take out back seat that will give me the room to pull the panel off (after I have a look at the Gregorys manual @ library when it reopens :) and yes... key behind number plate is a great idea, cheers

so does anyone know how to get the interior trim panel off WHILE the door is still shut ???

yep, just did it, sigh, so just spent the last 20 minutes taping some plastic on so it looks like every other commo in Tassie now!!! anyway, just a heads up for anyone who might get caught out like this... when the RACT guy was trying his thing, he said he had heard of being able to "break" the...

have just locked ONLY key in car after deadlocking drivers door by closing rear wagon door, key is on floor of rear compartment !!!!! got RACT to have a go and said because locks are "deadlocked", buttons won't release... he's right, they wont ! has anyone gotten into a deadlocked VS Lexcen...

Big thanks to kopper69 for the walk-thru, only thing I did different was to drill a hole thru the clear plastic to get to the tricky screw and left the speedo needle on, had 1 tooth broken (found it) wound the cogs over about 10ks, reset and repeated put it all back together and it works fine.

Just did the Jaycar resistor fix, it works a treat... thanks to all the posters specially the guys that included the pics, really worth a thousand words... great forum :beer chug:

Usually this car drinks the fuel, and I try and drive it easy (most of the time....) anyway I live in Tassie, and if you didn't already know, we have hills...many hills, and corners..... MANY MANY corners, in other words we DONT have freeways AT ALL, anyway you get the message, and to cut the...

WOW... been playing around with cars for over 40 years and 1st time I've heard this ! I think your uncle just wants to sell more tyres IMHO

thanks ephect, it's only running the high speed fan... where is the relay / fuse located for the low speed fan ?

Thanks for the replies guys, I'm fairly sure that there is no air left in it, the rad is full to the top and the o/flow bottle is normal...but I will try the bleed screw and let you know how it turns out over the next few days. cheers

Hi all, have a question regarding normal ?? engine operating temp. Story is car ( stock standard 95 VS 3.8L) temp had always been at 1/4 on the gauge at normal op. temp. Last week had to replace bottom radiator hose, so also gave radiator a quick flush with hose at same time. Fitted hose...
