Alas, finally, car is running again! Charged the battery on a slow charge - didnt seem to do anything Changed out the voltage regulator - soon as those battery terminals hit the battery i saw green in the meter again She clicked over without hesitation and off she went without a puff of smoke :D...

Yeah quite surprised on that I believe VF was the first that was fully metric upon my read ups last night There were some arguments as to wether the VE had ruled them out but I believe most the 'yes they didn't arguments would have come from those who hadn't done a full strip down

hmm, so if a 5/8 fits a 16mm probably slightly too big, by a fraction of a d**k cm ahaha

I'll give them a shot I know my imperial 5/8" fit it perfect I'll try a 16mm

Ok I'll grab one of those, it's definitely imperial as well yeah? Rather difficult finding an imperial flare nut spanner, could I cut an opening off the socket end?

So I am aware of how hard the f**ker is to get off, however I am at wits bloody end as we speak First i grabbed my METRIC, being in australia but nope, Imperial it was lmao Still no budge - Some say to keep the pump on the block to remove it, how this is possible i havnt the slightest idea...

I had a similar issue with my VX due to jamming to much Sh*t in the back of it Gave the hinges a slight bashing with the hammer and tightened up the bolts on the actuator Got it working again fine, still a bit quirky on the opening - sometimes i have to slam it shut, sometimes i have to push...

Hi all, After I get the new regulator installed I plan on giving the VX Wagon a good detailing, throwing on a basic bodykit as the stock kit is looking pretty worse for wear @300,00km also may lower her on XL/XXL king springs as her current springs are pretty shot(not for the low look, purely...

So I'll need to charge the battery or replace it? I'm hoping I haven't fried the electrics after seeing that smoke and reading your warning of not driving, I did drive maybe 1km up to the servo and back, few laps around the block trying to work out what is Ah well, fingers crossed that she will...

Ah yeh makes sense So I'll need a new battery also? Or could I get away with a jump start? Going to be putting a new alternator in also Thanks a heap for the help

Cheers mate will check that before i head off this morning, definitly dont plan on driving with it the way it is [EDIT] Went to check her this morning - dead as a damn doornail, cannot even unlock the doors with the key and dead locked... Got through the boot luckily, turned the key and no...
