There's always this option, too.

Have you tried just a Kaarcher? Hit it with the water jet - if there's a bunch of coats, it should come off pretty easily. Failing that, caustic soda doesn't affect plastic. If you want to try something milder - go oven cleaner. If you can't find caustic soda, use draino.

I wonder if I could have both V9 and the latest one installed and just manually select V9 to open the file? Off to find a copy of Adobe v9... EDIT: Yes, you can have both installed. You just right click like it says. Just tried it out and you are god, @Lex - it's working beautifully now!

Stuffed if I know. I found the pic on an ebay listing for the hose clips. That's the extent of my knowledge on the subject!

Some things are obvious, like VT and VX tail lights look nothing alike, but they'll both fit either model. Headlights are only interchangeable if you change everything around them too. Some seats have side airbags built in, some don't and while the seats will happily install in either model...

Yes, I attempted to change the globe in a hazard flasher switch once. It was like walking through a tunnel blindfolded while juggling pineapples... There were moments of triumph and despair, with a dash of unexpected discoveries thrown in for good measure. If attempted, it's a journey that will...

We could always have an expert level championship that involves unplugging as well. A special challenge could involve reinstalling a cluster that has been removed and unplugged, but has come from a car previously owned by a 23 year old bloke with a bunch of aftermarket add-on sh1t like a display...

You're right, some of the screw locations are difficult, potentially impossible to get a drill into, but you're also possibly not using a long enough screwdriver bit, and they do make various attachment doovahickeys for accessing awkwardly located screws. This is one I've been considering...

Nah, the fumes are what makes cleaning fun!

I'm picturing a whole thing now, like the Annual Cluster Removal Championship. There's two divisions, the cordless drill division and the manual screwdriver division. All entries must be filmed for verification. There's an online table of entries and their recorded times and a perpetual...

Is that your best time, or the recognised Guiness World record time, or just the average time recorded by you and your mate Des when you were bored and knocking back beers one Saturday?

Yeah, I tried both, but people were using the right spelling.

Yeah, I'd probably recommend you ensure you have all the issues ironed out before you hit up your local shopping centre.

He said "dashboard fascia", so I presumed he meant the fascia - as in, the whole front of the dash.

Can you do that yourself? I always thought you needed a Tech II or something to be able to program a blank key to your car? You can get a thing on ebay for about $80 that you plug in to that port under your steering wheel that programs 3 keys for you. I tried asking the seller what happens to it...

My son swears up and down that if you touch the keyfob to your head when you press the button that it works better. But like Lex says, a good battery may be what the car needs to communicate with the keyfob. It takes a long time for the keyfob batteries to die, and it'd be the most bizarre...

Thanks to your suggestions, I've now had minor success with "Door mould trim" and "body mould strip". Thanks for your input!

I like that name, but apparently no one on ebay knows that's what they're called

My copy of this is a bit dicky. I've tried re-downloading it, but it just won't let me navigate properly. I find the best way to find what I'm looking for is to do a search of all the files in the folder: (In Adobe) Select Menu at the top left of screen> Search> Advanced Search> All PDF...

Probably takes about 7 just to get to the stereo. I'd say 15-20 to get the whole thing off.

On a VX, about half way down on the outside of the doors, there's strips that are about 5cm or so wide that run across the width of the doors and finish on the front quarter panel. I think they're meant to help protect your doors from hitting stuff like other doors. They don't. On Execs they're...

It could take a few weeks to lose the VOC smell. The fastest way to get rid of it is to keep the cover exposed to heat but low humidity and allow it to ventilate as much as possible. So when you get home, park in the sun and lift the bonnet.

Thank you. This is what I needed - real, recent man-on-the-street experience. So you're saying whole Ecotec engines are in demand?

That's what I always say to my husband when he says "such-and-such is $200 on ebay" - just because they're asking $200 doesn't mean they're getting that. A friend loaned us his VX years ago when I didn't have a car and he'd lost his licence for 6 months. Naturally, the engine died while I was...

I've been looking online at used cylinder heads for a VX. I have seen prices from under $70 each to $290 each, for what seems to be the same part. Not new, not reco'd, just straight off the engine, no associated parts, V6 Ecotec. $350 / pair $290 / each $65 / pair What am I missing here...

He's on ebay and he's sold a metric sh1ttonne of the things. Can't imagine why...

$50 says it's your alternator. Swap it for a known good one and see if the problem goes away.

A step-by-step guide would be lengthy and overcomplicated for the task at hand. It looks like a big job, but it's not. I've taken apart a VX dash and a couple of weeks ago, my son took apart and reinstalled his entire dash twice in the space of a week ('99 VT) . Neither of us had done it before...

https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/commodore-vin-decoder-vb-to-zb.279978/ I'll save you a click - the last 6 digits of your VIN are the sequence number. So if your VIN was 6H8VXK69F1L265433 then your car was the two-hundred and sixty five thousand four hundred and thirty third car off...

I've got a good half dozen out. They've been out since I bought my car two years ago. I finally figured I should put this knowledge to use this morning and ordered some new bulbs. Gonna try out some pink and blue ones, see how they look.

T5. Here's a nifty guide to changing the bulbs that I made for someone one of the 207 other times this question has been asked here:

The VT fuel pump and the VU fuel pump are different part numbers, so I expect they would be different. There's a difference between the V6 and V8 assemblies as well. You can however change the whole fuel pump module assembly (rather than just the pump) to one from a VT/VX and it'd be fine...

Probably none. But you can upgrade it yourself reasonably cheaply/easily: https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/how-to-install-cruise-control-into-your-vt-vx.214604/

You've answered your own question. Clearly there's a problem with fuel getting to where it needs to. When you hear hoofbeats, think of horses, not zebras - skip the BCM for now and start simple. In rough order of simplicity/likelihood: Switch the fuel pump relay with a known good one. Find a...
