Hi I've had to deregister current vn as it was in a family members names and I don't think it will make roadworthy with out some major modification. So what I'm thinking is to invest in another Vn that is road worthy and has been somewhat done up. Of course I've got a limited budget but would...

Hi I recently found on ebay which looked good a second-hand dash cluster for $50 so I bought it. It turned up within days but one of the white screw holders that helps to hold the unit in was broken and the part was not really that good. I contacted the owner\wreckers and they said sorry no...

Hi Car does not seem to be running to hot since I've put in some Flash lube. But I will keep my eye on it. Regards Andrew.

Hi all got the auto serviced does not seem to jerk into gear as much but you can feel its still there. However heaps smoother. I think a second hand gear box would solve this. Cheers

Hi 91SS Thanks for the link. I've checked out the site and it looks good. My part of the wiper motor cover is drivers side drain plastic part that is completely broken off. I don't mind seeing if I can get this part but will need the new plastic drain covers as well. Regards Top Line.

Ok Got the name right, Thanks heaps. PLENUM CHAMBER WATER DEFLECTOR? I'll Try Rare Spaces and see what happens.

Ok thanks for that?

Hi, Nah not sure what the plenum is. Sorry I not sure what you would call it? It acts as a drain for water that runs off the front windshield. On my vn commodore the wiper blades at the motor points are held by the plastic drain and it also covers the wiper motor as well. I've had a real hard...

Hi all I've been looking for ages for a front windscreen drain for my vn sedan. I've googled it but cannot get any hits. I can't even get a picture of any online to see how they come apart.

Hi all I've took the vn in for trans services they did not say what condition the trans was in but they replaced the seals and checked my kick down cable, changed the fluid filter etc. Total cost was $320. the trans seems to be running better but its not leaking so far.

Yeah I agree, with you losh1971, I will take the car in next week when I've got time to get them to have a look at it and a service. She will have to sit in the shed on stands until then. I've been having trouble with my high beams which are not working, so I can spend time on that until I take...

Not sure I will have a better look this weekend. I've contacted a trans place as the trans is getting on, as in its done a few kms now. They have said that there standard service is $160 and they would take it for a drive to see whats wrong. I've asked what their price is for a full rebuild if...

Hi all, I'm picking up from a post I did back in 2017 about my trans leaking fluid. I've got a problem that has shown up in the last couple of days where I've got trans fluid running underneath the rear seal of the gear box area then, dripping down the rear engine mount and its getting worse...

Hi MIkeC I've checked the exhaust line found out I've had the Cat around the wrong way, and it seems to be ok.
