I think you will find that it is part of the "cop code" which can only be activated with tech2.A mate of mine has it in his series 1 BT1 ex Sth.Aust. cop car he bought at auction.At a recent service at the dealer they removed it as he told it is illegal to have.After a discussion over the...

Paddy When you get the correct pads its not the size of the pad but the temperture rating and friction rating to worry about.Cheap pads generally dont meet ADRs(Aust. Design Rules).Also asbestos pads have a low temp. rating so if you use them going down a mountain they smell and give brake...

If you cannot reuse the shims you can put contact adhesive on the back of the outer pad where it contacts the outer alloy claw of the caliper.This helps the pad retract of the disc when the pedal is released.Brake squeal is generally a problem of wrong pad material or glazed discs.Slotted rotors...

I did see a set of alloy racks on a VR-VS ute once.They were bolted to the hardcover.The only thing was the front rack was mounted along way back off the cab to allow for it to open.The other cover mentioned by jeffro is from Quig-Tonneau in QLD ph is (07) 5532 0024. Hope this helps

No sorry mate.I purchased a 2nd hand calais cluster for mine with 30,000kms on it.Tech2 could change auto to manual,V8 to V6 calibration and sedan fuel tank size to ute tank size but could not change kilometers as the cluster had passed 100kms.A built in pain in the rear from the factory.Thats...

Paddy I found in my 16yrs as a brake mechanic working for my family business of 26yrs that alot of people think its easy to change brakes.When dealing with older cars you have to look at calipers binding and needing over hauling,the right pad material for the vehicle and your driving...

Thanks for posting the wiring diagram.Does the fog light ON symbol illuminate in the dash cluster when they are on?

If its for a series 1 it will fit but you will be stuck with the kilometers on that cluster.If you can check the part No on the back my research found the part No for a series 1 cluster is 92164433 and is priced at approx.$550.00 from the dealer supply only.

Gillz On a VP commodore you will find a rubber plug in the backing plate either in the bottom under the axle tube or above the axle tube .This depends if the handbrake cable comes in at the top of the backing plate or the bottom.If you find it you have to back off the adjuster star wheel so...

You are correct with the fuel sender problem between series1 and series2.If you buy a new one from holden you can put in the correct kilometers for that vehicle.If you buy a second hand unit with over 100kms on it the speedo cannot be updated to your vehicle kilometers.If you check with your...

Clint I have just done the same to my vy11 ute with the same thing happening.When I had the calais dash cluster installed and put on tech 2 at the auto electricians he said with tech 2 he could set my aerial height ,so when I have my new HSV cluster installed shortly and put on tech 2 to...

3 window dash upgrade Its best to take a walk around you local dealer and check out the VZ calais/belinas etc. See which dash you like and have a talk to the guys in spares.Also slide your cluster out and take note of the sticker on the back which tells you the part number and level of the dash...

I have an 03 VY S Pack ute and with the standard cluster or the 3 window calais cluster I have have found the fuel warning going off at 65-70 kms to empty.After filling up (anywhere between 50-55 litres accurate to fuel used on computer) the fuel gauge needle drops very quickly after travelling...
