    Vb,vc,vh fuel sender in a vk commodore

    eventually finding a sender aint impossible but price might kill ya, maybe you should get an earlier V8 one and do the external pump mod similiar to the VK 6 cyl efi setup.

    Help with VK Calais rear window switch

    @VLmate Probably no one has had to do the switch so to speak, or worry about rear glass working, main glass to worry about is the drivers window, even mine failed and before I fixed the issue, I rerouted my console wiring to work on the rear drivers side front console switch part for a while...

    good one VC at least you got 6 months warranty and cheaper, hopefully it doesn't leak in 7 months I saw that ad, Its a 6cyl radiator, I like the bit were it says heavy duty o_O and its only a single core.

    Vb,vc,vh fuel sender in a vk commodore

    That mechanics car would probably have been changed to external aftermarket pump/filter/lines setup and probably changed sender for maybe a VH V8 one as most 35 year old cars have had many changes done when small pump gave up. As smitty mentioned a crappy low pressure pump/different relay was...

    Wretched calliper piston dust boot install help

    Some info, yes there is/was a specific red organic lubricant that was used instead of brake fluid for all hydraulic seals/piston and boots for brake/booster components/installation .

    Wretched calliper piston dust boot install help

    part of the answer is below Using the old pad and a g clamp without having to buy extra tool sheet helps to squarely put the rest of the piston in, yes there is some resistance with new seals which stop leaks when under pressure and the seal expands further.

    VL HDT Group A inlet manifold

    80’s 308/304 carby manifold was the GM 92015955, most would be corroded rusted water jackets by now, the close better replacement would be Edelbrock 7594 and 7594/5 undrilled for VN efi style heads which has the modified hdt bit already done

    2001 VU V6 Ecotec Auto, running rough!

    Thats sounds like part answer to smell fumey ^^^^^ What rpm does the engine idle at in neutral and in drive ?????? reason I am saying that is sounds like engine is getting too much fuel by the ecu. Could be as others said @ fuel reg, or even a dodgy injector/s, but you can also include TPS...

    Brake Pads for V6 VX Commodore 2002

    its the same pad size and shape.... just that the DB1344 has bigger pad material area, same pads as the standard DB1331 but sold as HD because they were used by police cars that wore out the other pads quicker which was due to the smaller area and worse with heat brake fade.
