Hi there I've tried everywhere but can't seem to find any info on how to adjust the outter door handles on my VC Commodore. Feels I have to nearly pull the handles off the doors to open them. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

Hi I'm hoping someone could help me. I got a Holden VS 5L Series 1 and as you know series 1 has different transmission cooler lines than the series 2. My ones are pushed on and have clamps from the radiator to oil lines. Just like a radiator hose setup. Series 2 have the hoses screwed together...

Hey mate Ok cool. Am thinking might have to get a power steering place to look at it. Maybe they will know the tricks like you saying on modifying it. If I go to a mechanic he will probably tell me I'm up for a new pump. Will see how I go. I really appreciate your help thou.

Oh ok i see what you mean. Have you got a pic of the actual part which i need. Can i tell by looking at mine if its missing? Would a V6 Calais pump have the same valve you talking about? Would ebay maybe sell them valves?

Hey yes replaced that

Its all good mate If its the case like you said. Can the same pump be redone or am I up for a whole new one?

Hey mate thanks for that I'll check it out and see. Hope i can get it sorted as its really starting to do my head in. I love the car but its starting to really frustrate me now as I'm sue you know

Thanks mate for that. Coolant temp sensor is changed and got rewired as was damaged and brittle from age and heat over the years. TPS sensor has been replaced too as computer spat up code for if then codes were cleared and all good. O2 sensors I was thinking about doing but just was abit...

Thanks mate Are you in Sydney by any chance? Would you be interested in looking at it? I've just moved up from the coast. Don't know any decent mechanics around here.

Hi I got a Holden VS 5L and its killing me. Long story short. It started with a mild miss under load when car was in 3rd or 4th between 1500 to 2000rpm. Fuel pump blew so got that replaced then its just been one thing after another since and its doing my bloody head in now. Found coil lead...

Hey mate I replaced the ignition module but still didn't make a difference. I took it to my mate who's a mechanic and he had car for 2 weeks. Went through everything. Fuel pressure, spark, sensors, scan and pulled up 2 codes. Coolant temp sensor to ecu and tps sensor. He also pulled out o2...

Oh ok. Sounds interesting and didn't think of that. I'll look into that and see what happens. So would that also effect the overall performance of the engine as just doesn't have the up and go like it used to

Yes that lead got changed too.

They were dry and good colour. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. They were had it thou as were in car for a while

Thanks. Have had that replaced about 2yrs ago. Guess it wouldn't hurt to have a look. Cheers
