cheers guys for the replies I'll check it out.

Hi guys just wondering if anyone has had this issue, when I put the fan or AC on normal face setting the 2 middle vents will sometimes not blow any air at all like there is some sort of blockage when I turn off the car remove the key for a minute then start the car it seems to resolve the issue...

Hey guys I drive an MY12 series 2 Calais with the 3.6 LFX engine and I'm cocerned about it running rough when idling. Here's a bit of background on the car, she's done just over 170000 kays get it serviced every 10000 and bought 3 years ago with 99000 on the clock. Car has been pretty much...

Yep those 2 screw things come out and then it pops straight out, I just did mine to change the globe in the boot until I realised there's like a little hatch door there so there's no need to remove the whole trim :yeah:

Turns out after running dye in the system for a week there was no evidence of leaks and everything continues to operate as per usual, I won't be going back to that mechanic at least, sounds as though they were trying to rip me off. The air con guy did say to me most regular mechanics don't have...

Booked in to see a specialist guys, will report back on findings.

Thanks for the info, I'm also a fan of Penrite but unfortunately the place I got it serviced uses Castrol products exclusively I'm thinking about switching to the Penrite enviro and doing my oil at home, it would also suit the Mrs Honda Jazz as they also specify a 5w-30 oil, either way I was...

Just wondering what oil you guys that are running E85 use? Does it have to be a dexos approved oil? I was looking at Penrite Enviro 5w-30 and they specify that it provides extra protection for engines running E85, I would use this oil myself but my mechanic uses Castrol Magnatec professional...

Yep I did have taking it to a specialist in mind too, for the record I didn't take it to a dealership for a service I took it to my local mechanic workshop but obviously they don't specialize in AC either when he said he would have to remove the compressor and have it sent away I thought I may...

Cheers for the replies guys, I'm also thinking its one of 2 things constant AC use for 100k or I'm not sure how long the car sat idle in the car yard... I do however run it at least weekly and always have with all my cars, I have owned a van from new for 10 years which had dealer fitted air con...

A bit of research tells me compressors are around the $700 mark for most cars so I'm keeping my fingers crossed I don't need to replace the whole thing, I've noticed a couple of threads from VT/VX owners that have replaced gaskets themselves and just had the thing re gassed, not sure how easy it...

So I have just had my first service since buying my MY12 Series 2 Calais sportswagon, the car came with books and had been going to Holden for it's for the first 100k of it's life, it had it's 105k service done by Holden at 99k it now has 110k so have decided to go in for an oil change and tune...

Hopefully this post makes sense as I am a NOOB here, I have just purchased a VE II Calais sportswagon and would like to get a cargo net which is like a soft removable version of a cargo barrier to stop my dog from jumping in the front, problem is I can't find the mounting points in the roof as...
