Got a fix yet mate?

What happened in the end?

UPDATE after about 500kms the brakes bedded in and there is barely any noise!

Can you bolt a WH Statesman rear end on a VTII? Or did it require chopping?

I recently replaced rotors and pads all around on my VTII gen III. Then the handbrake scrape started. So I have fitted the Hand Brake Scrape Kit; Intermittent scraping noises may be heard from the rear of the car while driving. The noise may appear to go away after re-applying hand brake lever...

Calaber... Parts diagrams indicate that it should work.... Did you find that your adjuster was just stuck?

You could get a wrecker door and put it in the back of the car with the right tools so that when you get it open randomly like you did last time then you can quickly change it over then have time to work on your door before refitting it

The multi switch on the centre of the dash is a known problem .. Since it sounds like your saying it's more than one window then it shouldn't be the windows motor... Get one from eBay and replace it your self.... You might have to look up the wiring diagram to be able to complete the circuit on...

Remove screws. .. You might need some penetratiing oil because they rust . Then put new ones on with small wide flat rubber washers to stop the rattle. Good luck

I'm surprised people aren't changing their sump Washer every now and then.. .they are designed to create a seal by being crushed.. So eventually they will leak .. Also the best filter removal tool is a three pronged claw you can get on eB@# that fits onto your socket wrench and tightens as it turns

For the record 1200x1600 should be plenty

Alright people... Hit us all up with your advice... Let's say you want to do a stroker kit with turbo and all the works (we all know ported heads and ARP etc but let's here specific cam angle recommendations etc) ... What do people recommend and most importantly what do people warn against?

Park on a hill with the wind coming from behind and you'll be right!... Just don't tell the Ford owners what your doing! Lol

You might be able to get it posted to the local post office and pick it up from there?

SOE from Tazzi is great and has paid itself off quickly... I had a gut feeling it was just O2 sensors and now that they're replaced things are sweet..... thanks for all the tips peoples :)

If your rims have enough open space you can check thickness with a straw and a marker... see youtube .....its very easy :)

Had one door on my old SV6 that clunked when closing and was hard to close... hinge was good with the lift test.... turned out someone had leaned on it cause i lifted it enough to move the car and it bent everything back into shape and the door closed fine... cheap and quick :)

Plastic bits broke off mine and it still closes fine.... Hope they're not needed for rego? anyone know?

Mine did this once then I looked at it again a week later and it was fine like nothing happened.... Anyone else had this issue?

Just cleaned my sensors with a wire brush, sand paper and MAF cleaner and then swapped them over.... had better throttle response on a cruise straight after like some other people say but then the idiot light came on again.... at least I know now that it's the sensors and not the wiring earthing...

Apparently NSW .. That was when I researched it ten yea ago.... Internet has gotten a bit more reliable since then.....

A transmission service i.e. filter change, fixed this on my old SV6

Sounds like you've got a vacuum leak.... check youtube on some simple methods to find where it is.... In some of the older cars I've owned its been as simple as spraying some carby cleaner on the vacuum hoses while someone taps the brakes etc with the engine running and usually I've found that...

What immortality said is basically what the cops did when they used this car .. So I'd say that's a pretty good case for making it the best starting mod! I used to own one of these SV6's and I much prefer the LS1 .. Sorry ... Great car though... Enjoy :)

First check for bubbles or oil in your coolant.... If found then don't drive anywhere until you've fixed the problem.... Then do a compression test (the tool costs like $30ish online) ... As far as I'm aware anything else isn't as urgent or scary? Just keep her topped up until you fix it... I'm...

If you can wait you might be able to put up an ad for a DIY guy (on here or fuglyBook or Gtree) who wants lowered springs to do it for you for free by swapping them for his own .. Having a baby is expensive so it might be worth a try? .. Then you'd only have to pay for a wheel alignment ...

Unless you changed to LED'S in which case get the associated mod or go back... Also can be a turn signal cancelling cam ... Depending on your model etc...

Breakfast Cruise for B&E roll then a compression test to check she's okay.. With good results FYI. Go Holden forever!

So have any of you people who voted manual ever driven a manualised (shift kitted auto)? Cause they kick A!

Did you get a solution to this?
