I was actually shopping for another VX commodore before I started checking out the VF they range from about 3 to 5k The 5k ones are good condition and the ones with bad body etc are less. Mine has some body damage hence why the insurer is telling me they will write it off but they havent told...

Thanks Was going to go private because dealers always charge a bit more any indication what km / price I should aim for? I would be ok with something in between 100k to 150k if the price is good

Thanks yeh when I say reliable I mean, reliable enough. Like my vx commodore was reliable to me. I clocked 400k km. Not that many issues. Just regular wear and tear stuff Reliability is not the only factor. It needs to fit my style of car to which Camry doesnt suit lol

I know I did search, they all say if connector's are connected then you have to get it scanned which I dont have the tools for. My auto elec would have to do that. But my question was really if there was anything else I can check. And if the yellow plugs under the seat are the correct ones to check

Awesome, I am looking forward to seeing if replacing it fixes my CC

Thanks THought this was the case, didnt think of it at the time of pulling out the globe though Could this also be related to my Traction Control and Cruise Control not turning on intermittently?

Hey guys Not sure whats going on here... ( I am a bit of a noob at car stuff) My right hand side tail lights work but when I apply the brake the right hand side light up brighter like the rest of the tail lights There is only 3 globes ( indicator, reverse and tail/brake light) So how...

Awesome, thats not too bad My car is due for a service, few other things need attention so might ask my mechanic how much it costs to do that and see who's cheaper The trac control and CC goes on and off by itself even after changing the CC fuse
