Hi vykindaguy I've replaced everything and had my cooling system flushed twice. The bloke at the radiator place said the engine block has a blockage (I don't agree with him) I'm now run the A/C so the thermo fan runs all the time and soon I'm getting the thermo fans checked to see if they run...

Well hi all I've been driving my car to and from work on cold and hot days with the A/C on (so the first cooling fan running all the time) and my car hasn't had any temp problems it runs about 1/3 gauge. Both cooling fans previously have run without hassle so i spoke to a friend of a friend and...

Hi 87VL Calais I also had the bubble noise coming through the heater and thought it was the water pump not pumping the water around efficient enough. But it turned out to be the radiator partially blocked about 25% blocked. You can easily remove the water pump and refit it for the price of a...

We used a hand held computer called Tech 2 it's simple to programme. Unscrew key from head and screw new head on turn ignition on and programme. Takes about 10 minuets but not much of a money spinner. When I started with Holden we would programme the keys or get the radio security code for free...

I worked at a Holden dealer as a mechanic and I can tell you it takes about 10 min to programe a new key. Sorry for the bad news Cheers

Remember the dip stick has two readings a hot and cold reading. Cheers
