    WM Caprice, flat battery, manual key doesn't work.

    Thanks for the advice guys. Got the NRMA guy out again. He crawled under, undid the engine aero panel and hooked the jump wires to the starter motor. It was enough juice to unlock the doors remotely and then it was simply a matter of getting the car jumpstarted and going for a bit of a drive.

    WM Caprice, flat battery, manual key doesn't work.

    I think my lights do turn off if I leave it in auto mode and turn the car off. But since this was in the daytime when i was changing the lightbulbs, I twisted the knob all the way to the right to turn the headlights on. I'm not sure if they stay on constantly in that mode or not.

    WM Caprice, flat battery, manual key doesn't work.

    I unfortunately don't have any of the necessary tools to perform that. So I might need to call NRMA back again and see if they can do it for me.

    WM Caprice, flat battery, manual key doesn't work.

    So I replaced a lightbulb on my Caprice yesterday and turned the headlights on to test them. But I forgot to turn them off and it drained the battery overnight. I have tried both of the keys in the door lock but they don't seem to work. They're not freespinning, but they only turn about a...

    WM2 Caprice door window rattle.

    Hi guys, my WM2 Caprice has a distinctive window rattle on the drivers door. When the window is down and you close the door you can hear it rattle around very clearly. When the window is up and you close the door, it's reduced a lot but you can still make out a small rattle. The other doors...

    Higher fuel consumption after "upper engine clean"

    I think he poured some stuff into the intake. When i first got the car back from him, it took like 5 seconds of cranking for the engine to start.

    Higher fuel consumption after "upper engine clean"

    Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll have a talk to my mechanic about it. On a second note, do you notice your V6 upon cold start idling around 1100rpm and about 8L/h for about 20 seconds before settling down to around 600rpm and 1.8L/h or is it just me?

    Higher fuel consumption after "upper engine clean"

    Hi guys, So bought a WM Series 2 LFX V6 Caprice a few weeks back. It's been great but a few days ago a check engine light popped up so I took it into my mechanic. He said it was a misfire (funny cause it didn't really feel rough or anything on the drive to the mechanic) and he would firstly do...

    Small piece of missing trim in WM2 Caprice

    So I just bought a 2013 WM 2 Caprice. The interior is basically basically in tip top condition apart from one small piece of trim which i was hoping you guys could help me source or fix. As you can see, the front bit of the zone air con knob is missing. Thanks guys

    VE/WM S2 Rear Demister symbol light

    Hi all, I'm currently looking a WM2 Caprice and recently took one for a test drive. One thing i noticed which bothered me was the rear demister light. Pressing the button to turn it on would make a little symbol appear on the display. But it would dissapear by itself about 15-20 seconds later. I...

    Thanks for the excellent write up there mate. On another point, if my shocks do go in a year or two. Do you guys happen to know any good quality aftermarket shocks that will deliver the soft supple ride that my statesman has.

    WM do i have sports or not sports suspension

    I checked my build plate and the SUSP field does indeed say STD. But what is interesting is that I had a look at a WM caprice at a local dealer and the build plate on that also says STD even though it has a firmer tune.

    WM do i have sports or not sports suspension

    Hi there, I was wondering if you could help me identify which suspension setup I have. I recently got a 2010 WM Statesman which has a LSD at the back. Reviews say that the Statesman came with a softer suspension tune while the Caprice came with a firmer 'sports' tune. But what confuses me is...
