I do not know much at all about painting cars, just want some advice on what to do about these car scratches. its for a 94 caprice. I have a deep scratch on the bonnet where a toolbox fell off the shelves in the garage. I think it has gotten through to the metal, or at least the primer coat...

vr v8 caprice 165kw dont think they came in v6

i dont have my vr ute anymore. rip 2011. today i made contact with this lady selling a VR caprice and i am seriously thinking i will buy it.

Mitsubishi have also become part of that nissan Renault crapshow back in 2016. In the next few years we might see mitsubishi cars become even worse. Surely the triton is the only thing keeping them afloat at this stage.

The issue Holden had was they had to sell the crappy GM cars that nobody wanted, especially after the GFC. Craptivas, Malipoos, Barinah, Equinox, trax.... these are all crap cars. Does not help slapping a chevy badge on a Commodore and selling it overseas. People just pile the Chevy SS into...

why cant GM keep the holden brand going but turn the brand into a service centre like Automasters or Ultratune. it would help them service all the current new car services, warranties and recalls. if GM dont want to do that then what are there options? from what I have read, it appears GM Holden...

I am in the market for a ute that I could use to drive on some of the beaches in WA South coast and came across the old crewman. I did not realise they came in AWD. Are they any good off road or are they glorified gravel road cars? Does anyone know if they are capable of driving on sandy...

Holden died when the vf was finished. Nothing has really changed.

I'm driving my wife's Santa Fe and it feels like driverless cars are just a few steps away. Adaptive cruise control, lane assist, auto breaking it's almost there. But I doubt here in Australia, particularly in the West, cars could ever be totally driverless. The computer assists require perfect...

I ended up buying one in 2016. For 25k, I could not compare the car to anything else on the market. Commodores were about 15k more. For all the features and technology I got, the commodore-like size of the car and how much smoother it is to drive over the Cruze, I couldn't get anything else...

Hello My car was stolen. I live in Perth, in the Bentley suburb. Im just posting here and doing what i can to help find it. I do have insurance but the car was very valuable to me it also contained some work tools that have been passed on to me from my dad that no monetary value will replace...

Hi there the other day another car hit mine at some traffic lights. he passed a red light and wrote off my car. he said he had insurance with the RAC so i wont have to pay anything. my question is how much would the insurance company pay out. its a VR manual v6 ute that was in excellent...

hey guys my car is making this rattle or vibration from underneeth, i can also feel the rattle with my feet when my feet are on the floor. it only abouts about 110kmph and only when my foot is completely off the accelerator. if i press the clutch down the sound stops. and it only happens in...

how do you install central locking?

i got mine replaced this year. it stopped the random engine light from going off. i also found the engine to be running much better and smoother. and much better economy.

where abouts is this ultra tune? i tried ultra tune because they are cheaper so i thought why not. but i know now that they are crap. i wouldnt recommend them to anyone. especially people with older cars like the VR. you need to find a good mechanic who has experience because ultra tune, the...

hey guys i have a VR S ute. when i bought it it had no light bulb inside the interior light. i put a new one in there and it isnt turning on at all. the car does not have central locking so im not sure how to turn it on but i thought it would turn on when the doors open or something like...

hey someone told me that when a car is reprayed paint, they empty the gas out of the air con for some reason. is this true?

hey what do you have to do if this happens? i think this is the problem with my car

im still getting good fuel economy tho, in one tank ive down 400km on the highway, 200 around the city and im still a fair way above empty. does anyone know if VR S utes have a fuel light?

i got the same thing. is it more noticeable when the windows are down?

i think it could be a wheel alignment problem?

VR. my second one

did all VR's have central locking?

i never had remote locking in my car. then one day i got a new key but the central locking still didnt work. and then thekey place said the car probably doesnt have remote central locking :(

hey would having a faulty fan be the reason as to why the centre console area inside the cabin, just above the gearbox, is heating up quite a bit in heavy traffic?

do you have any rims that would fit a VR ute. im looking for stock ones

your not selling gearbox anymore?

could u tune your ecu to give you better performance with premium fuel? im talking about V6's primarily as well as from what i have experienced, it doesnt make a difference what fuel its always the same performance.

thanks for the feedback guys. ive been told that the problem is probably because of very low oil in the box from the leak. and from what i can remember is this noise wasnt there just after i got the clutch and thrust bearing put in. probably happened and got worse after the oil leaked out...

yeah but it was worse before. even harder to change gears. after the clutch and thrust bearing were replaced there were more noises. thing is that once the cars warmed up these noises get worse. but its slightly easier to change gears.

hey there i got a manual v6 VR and im having troubles with what i think is the gearbox. its hard to change gears sometimes, intermitently i hear a grinding like sound when changing gears and the center console seems to be heating up quite a bit. in every gear i hear like a spinning sound...

hey guys im in the same boat as the thread starter. need to find a place in perth tho. its for a V6 manual. also people are posting alot of difference in the amount it costs for this soughta job. is this because theres a difference between manual and auto transmission repairs or just location?

hey my manual box in my VR V6 ute just **** itself. do you got one?

so if i bled or adjusted the clutch, it would probably make it easier to change gears? i failed to mention this but the clutch squeaks when i press down on it and again when releases. im positive now that its a heavy duty clutch also. its just ive noticed alot of clanking like sound coming...

this happened to me in a car once, wasnt a commodore it was a magna. was in the middle of nowhere too somewhere 300kms near kalgoorlie in WA. cost me almost 2grand to get fixed :((

hey guys ive got a ute. its got two 6"s in the doors, two tweets and an amp. the head unit and tweets are eclipse, amp is clarion, not sure bout the 6"s havent looked. thats all the info i have on the system, the car is secondhand. usually when the volume is low the tweeters have no sound but...

hey i got VR ute about 2 weeks ago. its been debadged and resprayed i assume. in the cabin above the glovebox is a sign saying VRS but the car doesnt have anything like foglamps or skirting or anything else visible to prove it. now my mate is telling me its not a S. anyone know any that can...
