    rear main seal renewal while engin and box still in car

    This is a massive thread dig but anyway... You could buy a tool called a 'sneaky pete' for engines with wick rear main seals. Remove the rear main cap and pull out the old wick seal with the cork screw part of the sneaky pete kit. Then the other part was a long bit of wire with metal...

    Chrisso's 1979 VB commodore!!!!!!!!!!

    Hey mate, just read your thread very nice work. Good to see you've done it all yourself. Not so keen on the tail light garnish and sticker but its your car.. Any more work going on the engine? I think you should re furbish the wheels and hunt down another two. I love vb-vh's with those simmons...

(runs along chassis) Second picture there should be two connectors rhs, the one on the left i dont think has any its covered i think. So this one on top rhs goes to the throttle body base...

    VS Grinding/Scratching Noise on Cold Start

    That's a hard question mate without hearing it. Is the starter dissengaging fully? First guess would be a cracked flexplate. (flywheels are fitted to manuals)

    Fuel tank overflow tube

    Hey everyone, I have a vs ute with a fuel smell I have been chasing. I have inspected the tank, lines, breather, charcoal canister lines, and the entire system. Only thing I found was the clear plastic tube which I believe is the overflow is a little perished on the end and look like its broken...

    Overheating Problems, HELP!

    Never try this, if it's overheating there will be an excess of pressure in a sealed system and as soon as the pressurised water is at atmospheric temperature it will want to boil. It will blow out of the radiator, a pressurised overflow tank system is slightly different yes, but still not...

    Overheating Problems, HELP!

    I'd be checking the operation of everything in the cooling system Chaps, dont just guess here and there. It could but be a thermostat but I'd be checking the temp gauge in your car at the same time to ensure the reading is correct. If you hear air or bubbling/boiling, remember a cooling system...

    VS Uterus

    Can you get a hacksaw blade in there? Cut a slot in it and use an impact screw give it a good smack so it cracks then wind it out with some vise grips and buy a new set of bolts. Or try a little heat with an oxy pen if you havent stripped it out.

    what has someone done to your car??

    Thats whats stupid mate, you wouldnt go to prison unless they proved you cut your own lines. At most they try for manslaughter and you wouldnt go inside. Unless you had a really bad record.

    I believe thats a common problem on vk's my old one was the same, just not enough room.

    Code 82 limp home mode

    That would be my guess too, when it was 'fully serviced' did you have the auto serviced? Maybe they broke a wire and didnt notice or the connector is snapped or pin backed out. The wires and plastic connectors become really brittle after a while running so hot. That woud be my first point of...

    what has someone done to your car??

    bahaha impala? Brake lines cut...thats fuct, that kinda stuff kills people a too excessive in my book and very premeditated. Retards! It mostly likely wouldnt have killed you either. That person needs their finger sliced off.

    what has someone done to your car??

    If he lives next door there's so many things you could do... Be creative!! Go take all the safety switches or fuses out of his power box so nothing works when he gets home.

    Where do you buy ignition leads from...?

    I believe you. I remember when this company had started out. Im not doubting their products im sure they're fine for race applications, thats why they cost the earth.

    3.8's - "Live Fast Die Young" VX Commodore.

    Yeah looks like it, still legal that way too. What is the go with the exhaust anyway?? You could take the badges off and smooth the bumper, get rid of the exhaust cut out and reflectors.

    Smoke from gearboot/stick

    It could be an exhaust leak then mate if its doing it while its cold, coming up through the boot.

    Where do you buy ignition leads from...?

    Hey no I dont really need them that's right but when people want them, I always find them expensive for what they are from most suppliers. I did used to buy them before because they were the only wider diameter I could find. Every little bit helps. Especially if you had points.. ugh. Now I...
