Hi everyone When i turn the key to start the VX, I hear a clicking noise that last for a few seconds coming from under the inlet manifold. It happens when the key is turned to On and when I turn it Off (I don't start the car either). Anyone got any ideas? Cheers Mark

Thanks mate i will do it this arvo. cheers

Hello everyone- just took my VR ute over to get a roadworthy (fixed up a lot of stuff that they told me but they somehow missed this part) but they knocked me back because I have rust on a fuel line at the rear of the ute. This fuel line seems to run from a black cylindrical container at the...

thanks mate - i reckon that's what it is. When I drove it this morning in the dark, lights and dash lights seems dull and everytime I pulled up at traffic lights etc. the battery light would flicker. Cheers

Hi everyone - I have read some threads here and they come close to my problem, but, my battery had gone completly dead and when I jumped it it started alright but there was hardly any power and the headlights were really dim and the ABS light had come on. So today i got a new battery and put it...

Hi everybody - thanks for all the advice you having given me, it has really helped me and I have found out that I do like working on my cars (it's just the money that stops me) but I have another question. I have to replace my front struts in my VR ute - which way should I go? Again, money is a...

Thanks mate - i have ordered 1 off ebay

Cheers guys

Hi everyone - how tight do you do up the gearbox pan bolts without a torque wrench ? Went underneath to check leak out and found out half of my bolts were loose, I could do them up with my fingers. thanks everyone

I think your on the ball mate. I just lifted the car up and put stands under and one side hangs downs and touches the ground when the other side is up in the air. Any suggestions on strut replacements? I'm not a rich man (like everyone) so try not to be too exspensive. I could probably still use...

Hello everyone - here comes another dumb question, I have just recently replaced my control arms , ball joints, sway bar links and put new front brakes on my VR ute and it doesn't feel right. What I mean is that the front of the car feels really light, like my steering is light. I like to feel...

Thanks mate, got myself a new remote from Mr Minute and all seemed fine, then the other night my son couldn't open the car when he had to use it. He came out later after work and it was ok but he is now leaving the drivers door unlocked where ever he goes just in case. Could it be the...

thanks everyone - this site is great for info

Is it easy to change losh? Can an ameteur like me do it? or do you recommend it go to a mechanic?

Can anyone tell me where this is situated? i have to replace it to pass roadworthy. Cheers

Hi losh - maybe i didn't do it long enough. I will give it a go this arvo. Thanks mate

Hello everyone - simple question - just put brand new brakes on the front on the weekend and they are squeaking when I pull up. Will this eventually stop? or can I do something about it. Cheers

Thanks gents - will go and do them now. Cheers

Can ayone advise me how tight to do up the nuts on these as they have rubber bushes. Thanks.

Thanks guys just wanted to make sure

Hi eveyone Can you change your front shockies on a Vx without having to take the front struts out. Thanks

Still can't get the door to unlock when I put the key in (it seems like it has seized up) but I have managed to unlock it by remote. Also my key remote has now broke with trying to do that (I'm too bloody heavy handed but I can still use it) any idea what a new key costs and best place to go as...

cheers mate

Thanks accentstencil - I will give it a shot, but that door lock is really hard to turn. Cheers

Hello everyone (this is going to be a long one) - my son borrowed my vx yesterday and when he went to get into the car after he finished work - the remote wouldnt open the doors and the key will not open the drivers door either (no matter how hard he tried) so he managed to get the window down...

Cheers Stephen - got them at a good price as well with a discount.

Hi mate - they are out of stock and can't tell me when they will get more in. Do you recommend anybody else? Cheers

I think I will just replace the bushes in the control arm, but I will also change the sway bar links and mount bushes. I need to save some money (don't we all), but what about using nolathane? are these any good? or can anyone recommend something different? Cheers everyone.

Where did you grab them from? and were they easy to fit? Cheers

Thanks mate - that's not a bad idea.

Hey everyone - how difficult is it to replace tha lower ball joints on my VR ute? Also where can I get a speedo O ring for my auto transmission? and is this easy to replace? I am trying to get a roadworthy. Thanks everyone Mark

Mate, I would like to thankyou for your idea. I know it's been a long time since you put this up, but it fixed my speedo problem. a mate of mine was going to dump his VR ute, so i took it off him to do it up and VR parts are so hard to come by now (being 25 yrs old). Thanks again mate Mark
