im currently laid up after back op so dont have the ability to take it anywhere to get codes read, was hoping it was a common thing that i coul dget an easy fix for LOL should have known nothing is simple these days,

Anyone?

I have tried searching for this, but cant seem to find anything that fits my scenario, so apologies if there is something on this but i missed it. 05 V6 statesman, starts runs drives etc perfect when cold, but after a bit of stop start, ie school run shops petrol etc, it either wont start...

My statesman also has this bash plate, and as i have a bad back im looking to leave it off so i can change oil a lot easier, is there any issues with leaving it off?

went and had a look today, car has a lot of sun damage to the screen rubbers, tops of back seats, headlights etc needs roof lining, Not looking as flash in the flesh as it sounds on paper

Yea i have thought of that, he is a local guy to me and has said if theres any hassles with it after we buy it he is happy to come sort them out for us, its being supplied with a RWC, he is a family guy just trying to make a few bucks to help pay the bills, i just dont know if 5k is a...

Looking at an 06 Calais with only 140k on the clock, Engine was neglected and and overheated and blew head gasket. Mechanic from the shop it went to bough tit and has fitted another engine that he fully reco'd timing chains the lot, so effectively its got a 0km engine in it, needs a good...

but surely if it was one of those it would be there all the time?? not just when car is hot

fluid looks fine, has only done about 6000k since a service, dosent smell burnt or anything, might possibly be overfull a tad, but its always been filled the same if i get time this week i will look closer at the fluid level, and maybe adjust the kickdown cable, does anyone have a link...

probably not LOL been in car for like 10 yrs now this shudder has only started last 12 mths

box was bought as only in a car 3mths after reco then car was smashed. so it is a bit of an unknown, but hopefully is usable, need to drive from Brisbane to Rockhampton in May so need it sorted before then, one trouble i had was all the tranny joints i rang said they wont fit a second...

I have an FX with a series 1 Vn motor/trans. I know the tranny is sad, and has been for a while, ( seals gone hard, can have a cut lunch between selecting gears and it actually moving when cold) but once ive driven around the block its ok so i have lived with it, for over 12 mths now i have...

I had a VN Trans do the same thing, when they sit for a long time the seals dry out, which stops them building up pressure. you can buy additives to help stop this. mine usually come good after 5 or 10 mins

depending whats wrong with you rclutch to, if its slipping it may not go up a ramp

ive done it when run out of fuel to getoff the road, but jacking up and put ramps under is much better

have never owned a ratchet stand, so dont know how they are, mine are all old school pin in hole type and i think i have a couple of old screw thread ones kicking around as well ,

big difference between an impact driver https://www.makita.com.au/products/power-tools/categories/drilling-fastening/impact-drivers and an impact wrench https://www.makita.com.au/products/power-tools/categories/drilling-fastening/impact-wrenches/dtw251z-18v-mobile-1-2-impact-wrench

saw my first ZB on the road the road the other day, have seen them in car yards but not in the wild, to be honest it looked like a mazda, or a toyota or a hyundai or.... only way i could tell it apart from the humdrum was the chrome grille bar, thats what caught my eye, if not for that would...

ive used an old scissor jack heaps, but i greased the threads before hand, have used it with the Air rattle gun and the battery one, mostly just for control arms when changing springs etc, but have more than once used it to lift a wheel off the ground to put a stand under. would be 20 years i...

would have to look better than silver even if ya do a crap job

I would have thought a lack of a spare tyre would bea bigger issue than a bonnet strut yet a car dosent need a spare to be "safe"

its a road worthyness, not a mechanic working on it worthyness bonnet strut in no way affects its safety when driving on a road, a missing wheel nut does as does an oil leak

cant see how it affects a RWC though, yes they can recommend you fix them, cant see how they can fail it on a RWC

wow big change

why the **** do we need electronic **** like this anyway? worked the old fashioned way for years why fix it if it aint broke

i had a brand new plug cause a miss once, chased it for near on 12 mths totally missed it as i thought na cant be the plugs they re new

yes i believe the build level is in the VIN number looks like it should have an L after the VT in the VIN as opposed to a K for an executive http://www.justcommodores.com.au/articles/vin_number.php

good to know theres still good customer service out there

ive always done it so that the high beam hits the X when reversed up 10 feet or so that way low beam drops and to left 7 meters way to far to adjust if you ask me sometimes helps to hang a blanket or something over 1 light and do them 1 at a time

ummm OK then

I had my Statesman one done about 12 mths ago guy came to house 130 bucks... off gumtree i think i found him. he took it out through the back drivers door i think, i didnt really take that much notice

god dunno how you guys drive, destroying tyres, screws in tyres etc , Im a tradie and spend almost all day everyday either driving or on site, theres as much contruction here in brissy as elsewhere im sure, i havent destroyed a tyre or had a screw in one for 10 yrs or more, maybe im just...

yet they all still collect millions in "performance " bonus's I always thought performance meant getting better not worse

My old VT had this issue when hot as well, turned out to be starter motor, would crank ok cold but hot it wouldnt start a lot of the time, same symptoms as flat or dud battery, put a new starter in it and it cranked like it had 2 batteries connected never missed again afterwards

There a white VT commodore drives past my house almost every day, It has a similar noise that sounds like a wheel bearing. you can hear it coming from 10 houses away, dont even have to see it anymore, can just hear it and know what car it is. point being, its been doing that for almost 2 yrs...

If you are in brissy come work for me and i will pay you 200 bucks a week lol

cheers can get it for just over 3k it appears, migh tbe worth a look
