G day Heffer I reckon I get the Aussie 5litre.And I own a 5.7l vtss.If your going to use it everyday you can put a normal lpg conversion on it.The 5.7l has plastic intake manifolds which means they will only fit a liquid injection which in theory shouldn't backfire.You know what happens to...

Hi all.Does anyone know of a good manual gearbox repairer in Victoria.There plenty of auto transmission places,but not too many that specialise in manuals.Cheers

G'day simon I.ve got a vt ss with exactly the same problem.I have a six speed box.It sounds like the shift rod in the box might be bent or possibly the bearing.I'm kind to my gearbox and this has happened.I'm putting up with mine for now but eventually i'll have to get the box pulled out and...

Hi GMAD no I haven't.I checked the fluid level to make sure it had dextron 111.It did and was full.The oil was still nice and pink.cheers.

Hi all.I have a vtss with the tremec 6 speed.The gear shift has always been stiff.But now occasionally it won't go into gear.I had a mechanic look at it and he said it could be the shift rod or bearing in the box.Its got plenty of oil dex 111.THe clutch works fine.If it has to come out can...

Hi nicco its a common fault on the 6 speed boxes,they rattle.You can get them tightened up but the change becomes harder and a bit rubbery.I have a vt ss 6 speed which was tightened by holden.As far a rattles.Well that's something they all do as well because the suspension is hard(too hard i...

Hi all.Does anyone know if there are adjustments on the Hollandia sunroofs.I have got a vt with one.I works fine, but when its closed it rattles like hell.Or is it a job for the pros.any help would be appreciated.Cheers

I think you can have the best of both worlds.I'm pretty sure most of the vapour injection systems are dual fuel.Cheers all

Thanks for the replies.I think its around 4 thousand.I might wait a bit longer.:w00t::w00t:

Hi all Has anyone had their gen 3 converted to the new vapour injection system.I'm thinking of getting it done.I do mainly country kilometres.Just wondering if anyone has had problems.

Thanks for your help mate.I traced the wire back to the loom plug and disconnected it because of the short.Where would I find the module?cheers

Hi all.I was wondering if someone could help me.I replaced the fuse for my interior light,and my wiring loom caught alight.I fixed the wiring, but left out the wire that feeds the interior light which has a short.The car is a vn.Does anyone have a circuit for the interior light.and does it have...

its fixed Thanks for the replies.It turned out to be two ignition leads.The car **** itself 100 ks from home.I had no tools and only 100 dollars.I walked to the nearest repco and bought a set of leads.And it runs well now,but I still can,t figue out why it only did it after travelling 100 ks or...

Hi all just wondering if anyone could help me.This is driving me crazy.My vn wagon only misfires after travelling 100ks or so.I usually go to melbourne once a week.Its fine on the way there which is around 110ks.On the way home it starts misfiring badly.Its not a one off,its happened every week...

Hi all.Wondering if someone has any ideas on my stalling problem.My vn wagon stalls repeatedly when the engine is hot.Say when you go to the shops and get back in and start.When its left to cool its fine,I suppose because the auto choke is working.Any help would be much appreciated:ranting:

Hi all.I have a vn wagon with a bad handbrake.I have adjusted the cable but it won't hold the car.It has a disc brake rear end.Just wondering if the rear brakes have separate pads or shoes for the handbrake as found in some cars.If so has anyone ever changed them.Any help would be greatly...

The vt did have a rear camber problem,which should have been rectified in the warranty process.I agree fit a camber kit.Also rear wear on tyres is worse when the car carries a load in the back.cheers:wave:

Thanks Rob,it looks like its a trip down to holden spare parts to be ripped off.:hit:

Hi all.Does anyone out there know how to open the key fob for a vt commodore.The battery has gone in mine.The two screws have been removed that hold the key,but it looks like its been glued.Any help short of cracking it with a hammer would be appreciated.

Use castrol magnatec .It will provide some protection on the initial startup.I bought a vtss gen 111,and although its a quiet running motor,it uses a hell of a lot of oil.My car was also a cetified used car.But I did not elect to take on their ripoff $180 service every six months to retain the...

G'day all.Does anyone know how to remove a Vt gear knob.I have tried to unscrew it anticlockwise,but it won't budge.Is there a locking pin that I can"t see.Or has glue been used.???

It sounds a bit too cheap.A dealer would sell this for around 22k or more.Check the plates including the compliance plates.As for fuel consumption I have a vtss with the six speeder,and at 100kph I get 8 to 9 litres per 100 km

Should have kept the wagon.I recently bought a vtss and couldn't part with it especially at the dealer's ridiculous trade in offer.Its been the mpost reliable car I have ever owned.

I have never seen a gen 111 commodore on lpg.I suppose there,s not much room under the bonnet.Does anyone now if anyone in victoria is doing conversions.

ethanol does burn hotter,and so over time will burn out valves.I have also heard of stories of rubber hoses and seals perishing.If this tight ass government wants to do something about petrol,why don't they lower the tax.Do you think the military would use this ethanol crap in their transport? I...

Thanks for the info steve.your a champion

vn heater fan Hi there,I was reading your reply regarding the vs heater fan.The fan on my vn is not working on the first two speeds.I suspect the resistor also.Is it located on the passenger windscreen side under the dash,or is it under the bonnet.Any help would be greatly appreciated.regards...
