I'm about to replace the brake pads, something I normally have a brake place do, anyway when tighten bolts is it best to tighten them exactly as the Max Ellergy specifies its just that I've heard some guys say to tighten them less than the recommendations. Let's say the specification says 85Nm...

Do they work well lets see. After the VX did Holden fit the CAI system as standard to any other Commodore models.

What a big job to correct and I'm sure the insurance company would write it off. See if you can buy the wreck back and search for a decent used one and swap over all your good parts.

Yesterday I went down the Supercheep and asked for a pair of the front Bendix brake pads and was given 2 boxes at 88 dollars each. Took them home only to find there's 2 lefts and 2 fronts per box. I'm hoping they take the unwanted box back and since there so cheap I'd like a pair for the rear...

We gave our baby a tank of 91.

Acid and aluminium not a good combination but hey its 2016 so there's gotta be a product or process available. The way I see it is why only do half the job.

We purchased the 3M glue, it's a job I only want to do the once so nothing but the best hey. Actually $220 for the sedan sounds really well priced considering the amount of work needed.

Thanks Ozzie, must appreciated, yesterday we returned from a week away and 200 ks from home the rear section fell down.

Yep already done all that, I was thinking next up is the manifold part. The part that bolts between the heads that the injectors sit on.

Wondering is it possible to clean the inside of the intake manifold. Havent seen one apart so do they come apart for the cleaning process or are they one enclosed unit.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I ended up measuring the roof and adding 50cms to each side. Have ordered a nice piece of Italian red stretchy material with a soft backing thanks to Spotlights. Now to get the job done before summer comes, who else hates the 40+ summer days.

The roof lining has started to sag so I'm going to Spotlights to buy a nice dark red piece of suitable material to do the recover. Can anyone tell me the actual size of the material required, width and length once removed from the car.

Why, with 10 gears they'd want to give us the option of a left knee replacement to.

How much are you hoping to spend, more than 10 and under 20. Why not go V8.

How many ks has she done and what's the maintenance program like. Might be the engine mounts and the tranny. Nothing much you can do for the lifters, regular changes of the high klm 20w50 Nulon oil, Nulon tappet stuff and the Nulon worn engine stuff.

26.08.16 - My new steering wheel arrived today. so excited. 03.09.16 - New wheel fitted and without any problems.

I think I've heard someone else mention these fault codes, are they written down somewhere and how do we find them.

Hello guys

Wow 360,000 how well does she go or have you replaced or rebuild the engine.

Thanks guys I'll take tomorrow off work and see if I can pick one up, don't feel safe playing in the traffic on the bicycle.

Why go secondhand, towbars are cheap as chips and they'll even wire it up for you.

Without going to Holden would anyone know who sells new adjustable driver's front seat belts. Mine failed today, it's been slow to retract for 2 years now and today it came out but won't go back in.

Are you for real, $150 for how much of the steering wheel? Ok then for $150.00 I'll go order one on Monday and is there anything to be carefull off when removing the wheel. You know stuff that Max Ellery forgot to mention.

Take it to Holden, problems solved.

Morning Folks, has anyone removed a steering wheel that hasn't had the air bag set off. Recently the top 8th of the original vinyl covering has come loose and I'd like to cut a few small hole in the back and inject some Loctite GO2 Glue. Thanks in advance. Karen

I was thinking around the $2,00 mark and really that doesn't matter on its overall condition.

Do we have anyone in the know about whether the mini car type air compressors are available as a 12v and 240v item. I'd like a small compressor to have in the boot when out and about and I'd also like to use it to keep my exercise ball/seat inflated at work.

When the standard suspension is lowered is it the springs or the shocks that are lower or both. Just wondering because I had mine done a year ago and someone wanted to know how and how low and I have no idea. The springs used are the Pedders KHFL47 and the 2643 Sports Ryder along with 3985R &...

Sorry but I can't agree, why would anyone replace a worn part with another worn part? I was surprised by how cheap the first tensioner is and here I am thinking the Gates parts are the best other than the genuine Holden parts. 50,000 klms ago I've had my water pump and belt replaced with the...

Hi guys, Photo # 1 - Does this look to good to be true, $43.00 delivered or photo # 2 $163.00 delivered also includes the 2 Orings.

Thanks guys, 235 it is then. A couple of questions what is the 48P is this on the rim and the standard FE2 suspension is this the suspension lowered one down from standard.

Good suggestion, well that would be a good place to start. Buy a cheapy standard SS rim and used tyre in that size a see if there's no rubbing.

Hiya Guys and Gals, I have a good friend with a VX sedan and I've setup my VX sedan the same as his that's lowered one setting down from standard and I'm interested in fitting a 17'' alloy rim. So the tyres fit correctly I'd like to stay with the 215 size and would like to go with the...

Except for the Statesman rims I bought.

Cleaned the windscreen with steel wool and then reapplied the RainX to the front and rear windscreen, windows and review mirrors.

Hi Goosie, I see on your profile you have your Commodore down as a 3.6L and when I took this one for a drive this morning they said it's a 3.0L. Just wondering were there different model Internationals with different engine sizes. I did the Carsales valuation and they say a 95,000 K one being...

Spied a 2010 VE International today with 35,000 ks, just wondering what you think its worth.

Yep, all good and no leaks. Everything heater and cooling related was replaced a year ago. Now going to Supercheap to get a 5lt container of the ready made Nulon green coolant, it's all we use. As for the trans cooler, we'll have a professional install a system for use next week. You really...

Today I started a month of LSL, I only have 8 months owing so while it's cooler where going south and towing the camper. First question: when the engine is cool and the radiator is full how much coolant should be in the reservoir. Is it between the 2 arrows on the lower end of the dipstick...

Thanks and how do they adapt to the auto, is there a kit or can the second cooler be plumbed directly into the transmission. I've been reading up on it in the search section but can find anything about the installation nor is there any pictures.
