Thanks for the reply, but it was fine to start with the NGK plugs in them, put new ones in and then it started, put old ones in and the same. i thought the bosch where a **** brand (NGK are in lockdown at supercheap auto) Does the code have anything to do with it. Thanks

Hi to all i have a VS ute and i get about 350-400k to a tank, and i am looking at buying a VT and was wondering what kind of fuel economy they get. also what is the difference between a Executive, Berlina, Acclaim, Calais, etc. Thanks in advance

i am in sydney at the moment but going back to brisbane in 4 weeks.

i took my car to holden cause of a tapping noise in engine, they said that it was internal and that they had to take part engine apart, they also said it sounds like lifters and cam shaft. and said it was probably better getting a reco or 2nd motor. my car has 280k on the clock and was...

Is there anyone in sydney that can install it, as i here on holidays from brisbane and no one in brisbae know how to do it. they have to be 100% certain they know what they are doing though. Thanks

I am curious if this could make the car use more fuel as i get 350k to a tank 3/4 highway driving, no air con, Holden said that i will open the injectors more then normal, and that the regulator could be stuffed (recon alternator 3 mths ago) i have had the brand new inj. put in, new filter...
