    Climate control bulbs from jaycar

    This is a little bit of a thread dig, but i just purchased Globes From Holden. I got the 3 globes that go into the cluster windows, They are different from the Climate control ones they are smaller in diameter and taller (Pictures For Reference). You can buy these globes from the USA for half...

    VX Berlina Wagon V6 Thermostat stuck open, has anyone ever seen this before?

    That's the thing the thermostat didn't fail it's brand new, it just got something jammed in it. I Changed the Thermostat housing with a brand new one from Holden already. Just super weird to have that metal floating around in the cooling system.

    Amazing reliability who else

    I'm just the unlucky one that got stuck with the repairs the previous owner was to tight fisted to do.

    VX Berlina Wagon V6 Thermostat stuck open, has anyone ever seen this before?

    It is made of a thin steel and used to be a complete ring but it broke when i was handling it. It is extremely brittle.

    Amazing reliability who else

    Eh every car is different, I've had mine a little over a year and i've had to change the whole cooling system (Rad, Hoses, Heater Tap, Valley Gaskets, Thermostat), Engine mounts, Injectors, Thermo Fan and Coil packs. It still needs Front struts, Strut top bushing/bearings, Swaybar Bushings and i...

    VX Berlina Wagon V6 Thermostat stuck open, has anyone ever seen this before?

    Hi guys, Just wondering if any one seen this before in their journeys with ecotec engines. Yesterday my car wouldn't warm up when driving, so i kept an eye on it today and the same thing happened so i knew the thermostat was stuck open. So when i got home i took it apart and put a new...

    Can Somebody Identify This Amp Please.

    The RCA Output on the amp will work for speakers as well as subs. Here is an example that allowed my headunit which only had one set of rca's run two amps.

    Increasing hertz on a 7 year old Pioneer unit

    What's the model number of the headunit? Should be able to find the instruction manual online if it helps and i dare say you want to adjust the high pass filter?

    Can Somebody Identify This Amp Please.

    The "OUTPUT" RCA Connections are a pass-through to connect another amp without having to run another set of RCA's from the headunit. Front and Sub is the best option but sometimes you can't change someones mind. As for the Amplifier, It looks like an eBay special from what i can see. No chance...

    2001 VX Berlina 3.8L Ecotec Temp Reading fluctuation

    Hi guys i did some digging through the forums and found a few posts about the temp range for a VX Ecotec and thought it was a little strange, People say theirs runs around 92c or so but i've been keeping an eye on my digital readout and mine fluctuates between 80c-90c when driving then when i...

    Drift SS Ute

    That's crazy how the strut tower split! But some good ingenuity to get it fixed.

    Drift SS Ute

    Awesome ute mate! I would love to see more of the setup you have in the tray and under the bonnet. Must be a hoot to drive, Can't wait to see what you do with it.

    My VXII Berlina Wagon

    Have you considered using the mace engine mounts they state that they are 5mm lower than the factory units and not much more vibration. I think these are the ones Lex is referring too. https://www.maceengineering.com.au/epages/shop.sf/en_AU/?ObjectPath=/Shops/mace/Products/MNT601 And throw on...

    Towing

    I towed a friends boat (1850kg Dry weight probably 2200kg+ Wet and with gear) with my old L67 powered WH took off okay, but under braking was really bad the brakes were not up to it. So i would say yes it will do it but it's not safe. Only did this to get the boat home in a pinch and the towbar...

    vr caprice radio upgrade

    Hi mate, I did some digging and found that this topic isn't really covered well, There seems to have been little done in the way of compatibility for the VR-VS model, The VT-VX model and up seems to have better aftermarket options. This poor bloke asked nearly three years ago with no answer...

    My VXII Berlina Wagon

    Yeah good points, My current wagon was a Q Fleet car in Queensland when new. I haven't driven an LS1 yet but the L67 optioned WH was a blast to drive. I wasn't aware though that there isn't any L67 utes, but probably the same reasoning.

    My VXII Berlina Wagon

    This wagon is awesome! Great work man, I seriously don't know why Holden never made a factory L67 Wagon. I would have bought one, but if my engine ever goes my wagon is getting the L67 treatment.

    What happened to street commodores forum???

    I agree on a few points here. First, It is quite amazing how fast a forum can disappear and take all of it's data with it into the grave ( I was actually quite disappointed to find the MEA Forums had gone the way of the dodo, Some of the resources there for car audio were top notch). Secondly...

    Help - need service advice

    Hi mate i can't really help you with suggestions for a better mechanic in Sydney but i can tell you that those prices quoted by K-Mart are way to high the mark-up on the parts is a little excessive, It would be best to get a second quote somewhere else. I'm not sure how all K-Mart tyre and...

    First post! New wheels again >_<

    Very tidy ride mate, Those wheels and brakes certainly look the part and very lucky to score the plates. The whipple sounds like a good idea, I miss the whine of my old WH L67.
