    VF roof lining

    I have replaced my roof lining. It's a little bit fiddly getting it in and out, but basically an easy job. It was stupidly easy to brush off the old foam!

    Spark plug condition.

    I am running on E85 on NA. I am running iridium plugs at 1.0mm. Would there be any advantage in reducing the gap??

    VF & VE second hand rare & demanding high Prices.

    Back in 73 my mum had a 265 Regal sedan. I was always amazed at how well it moved something that big and heavy. Didn't handle too well and we always used to slide back and forth across the front bench seat!!!

    Diff oil - needs change or not ?

    WOW!! That's a big-arse fancy machine just to change diff oil! I just used the syringe thingy. It's a bit awkward because you have to fill it a few times, but it does the job if you're not in a hurry.

    VF roof lining

    I've ordered the material and adhesive from Reeces I hope it's okay. I'll let you know when it arrives and I have a go at fitting it.

    VF roof lining

    My lining was replaced in 2016 under warranty because of a water leak. It's now sagging. (Grrrrr) .I'm going to have a go at it myself and I'll let you know how it goes. I have a ute and I believe that I can get it out okay. Wagon, I think is okay too, but I think the sedan has to have front or...

    Thanks y'all. I think I'll try to get some Permatex and give it a go.

    CRAAAAP!!!! After saying that my roof lining is good I just noticed that the passenger side is sagging. I'm guessing that I'll have to take out the whole headlining to fix it. I'm thinking that contact adhesive would be best. Any better ideas please??

    No fuel gauge with check engine light

    Yeah. I remember when I had a radar unit replaced under warranty on my ute I got it back and the rear bumper was loose. I noticed that they forgot to put in the scrivets in the bottom. So I took it back to them and they said sorry we'll fix it straight away. Okay, great I thought. Got it home...

    Rough idle -Spark Plugs?

    Same here. The plugs looked great at 100,000Km (on E85). I didn't notice any improvement with the new ones though.

    Saw a Clubsport today on the M1 belting past everyone in the rain!! It had a LSA badge on the boot and a W407 badge as well. If the LSA is 430Kw does that mean the Walky pack robs it of 23Kw!??!!

    BCM, Parking Control Module and Trailer Control Module

    Mine came brand new in a sealed GM bag. I have also heard (not first hand) that other people have had to get them programmed.

    It was new but I didn't buy it from the dealer. Maybe that's it!!

    BCM, Parking Control Module and Trailer Control Module

    I installed a genuine TCM myself VF1 SSV ute, and it was plug and play. No programming was needed. I contacted a stealer at the time and they said it was needed and I had to leave it for a day and I think they wanted about $100!!?!? Stealers huh . . . .

    I had mine replaced under warranty in 2016. It got damaged by water getting in where the grommet was leaking for the wires to the high mounted stop light. It's been good ever since. Have you checked for any water getting in?

    Running E85

    I've been running E85 exclusively for about 6-8 years in my L77. When I got it tuned the tuner said it was about 10Kw more than they normally see.. I've been paying $2.20 /L for a few years now. Maybe I'm a bit obsessive but I feel good coz locally produced, renewable, less pollution, it seems...

    If a jump starter gets it going, then it's definitely the battery.

    2013 VF Calaisv has no centre console light?

    Nah. It sounded like a stock red 6.

    2013 VF Calaisv has no centre console light?

    I just watched a movie called Royal Hotel on Netflix It's an Aussie movie released last year. It had a Holden panel van with a rear door fitted. I can't remember, but I think it was a HQ or HJ/X/Z.

    Walkinshaw W engine upgrades

    I am considering a cam package for my L77. As I run it on E85 does that mean I will have no emission problems?

    Roof Mounted Reading Light/Sunglass Holder

    I'd suggest the auto wreckers. That part is unlikely to get damaged. Speaking of wreckers, I went past my local one yesterday and in the front yard where the cars just in are kept, there was an original looking FX Holden!!!

    SV6 vs CalaisV buying advice

    It always amazes me the number of cars I see driving at night without headlights on, and I know a lot of them have auto lights. Are they ignorant, or do they turn them off on purpose!!?!

    VF SSV Hvac Question

    I had a similar problem with mine. The drivers side was the right temperature but the passenger side was much warmer when the zone was set to match. I used the reset procedure as outlined above and it fixed the problem. From memory I thought the fuse was in the fuse block at the end of the...

    Insurance agreed value increase

    I don't get it! Does everyone think insurance companies are there to pay claims and repair vehicles? I thought they were there just to take premiums. Anyway, I'm just using them to take my money. I'm not planning to make a claim.

    Insurance agreed value increase

    I've always been with NRMA. Just got my new premium. It's up from $750 to $900! I thought I'd take a look around. For the same cover:- Budget $850 Shannon's $1300 APIA won't do it at all. AAMI $708 I went in to the NRMA office but they won't compete at all! "Take it or leave it" is their...

    Thanks for the info. I do 10,000Km oil changes and it always looks really clean. It does have a pretty easy life - generally.

    I've been running my L77 on E85 for about 80,000km. It's now done 110,000Km . It has been tuned with OTR and exhaust. It has a bit more power about 10Kw over 98 . It's 107 octane. Does use quite a bit more fuel though.. Maybe it's not such a big deal, but I feel better about it. Made from...

    How would you know if it's successful? If the car is gone then it's not. If the car is still there then maybe there was no attempt to steal it!!? I have sparkly things hanging in my carport to keep the birds off my car! They work pretty well - no more bird crap on my car! They are also (I...

    VIC: RECOVERED: MY17 SSV Redline Sportwagon AMG156 - Monash University, Clayton, VIC

    Back in the 70s the fcukres tried to steal my HK GTS Monaro! They were foiled by the fact that I had removed the rotor arm! (A bit inconvenient every time to start the car!!!) They caused a bit of damage to it though. Out of frustration I guess. On my LJ Torana I had a home-made immobiliser...
