    What suspension is std?

    VE Aircon won't blow on head setting only legs

    Mine was similar. Did face only not feet. Actuator was $50 on ebay. Fitting was hard as it is in a bad position and you need a 90 degree ratchet screwdriver. All good now. Autoinstruct was a great help.

    Used car warranty questions

    I had the same issue. I purchased a car in the city and live in the country. My dealer was most accomodating and arranged for my local holden dealer to repair. I suggest you ask nicely and hopefully they come to the party.

    Hi Everyone, I have a 2010 Calais Wagon and wish to have new shocks fitted. Are the shocks the same for all wagons? On my compliance plate my suspension is listed as standard. Many thanks in advance.

    how do i replace electric window switch block in centre console

    It's actually really easy, mate. I had to replace my centre console, it just pulls up. A Youtube search will give you all the info you need. The power window switch pops out, the replacement job took me about 15 mins.
