Ah, so it seems Holden knows about this fault...! No doubt I could fix this to at least get him home, but the thing is 2 hours away locked up at a RACQ depo....

This is more like it.

My mrs younger brother has come up here for Xmas (11hour drive) he has a VU SS ute with i believe with the T56 6spd. He has lost all gear selection. He only got the ute back last week after getting it fixed for the same fault. We stayed up north for NYE so its been flatbeded to an RACQ depo 2...

Is there a trick to getting these things off? They have a silver metal case on the outside. The rubber seems to spin on the plug itself but i have pulled extremely hard on it and then wont come off the plug...? Is there a trick to getting em off? They look factory.

Mine was a VR II also. Here is the wiring diag. http://laurenstephens.net/uploads/037067c337.pdf

Yeah that white decal is coming off this weekend. Thanks for that guys looks good!!

When i had mudflaps on they were loose and a bit jingly, but yeah generally sway bar links.

I put a 5HDD in to replace my 4HDD. Same sorta thing had a 95 VR and used a VS Lexcen box. Didnt take to much notice of the pins but once it was all in, notice the engine light on for about 5 secs after starting it. I think i ended up with this fault code: Code 67 - TCC ON-OFF Solenoid Control...

Wondering if anyone feels like having a crack at this. Try and lower this ute a few inches so the tyres are about level with the underside of the top of the guard. And if possible stick these FR simmons on it, preferably with the gold centres.... To much to ask??? Cheers.

Any one got any more pics of lowered VR/VS's? Preferably utes. Keen to go super low i think. Not sure if i need lowered shocks and shorted bump stops to suit?

Cheers, well it wont be going to building sites n crap, but still need to get over speed bumps and up driveways you know.

Whats peoples opinions on low springs versus super low springs into a 5L VS II Ute? Will super low be to low to be practical? Do lowered shocks/struts need to be fitted for super low springs so the shocks dont bottom out? Any pics would of low and super low would be appreciated to. Thanks.

My mate is looking at buying a VS II Ute, he has spotted some 2nd hand rims that he likes but the seller reckons they were previously fitted to a VP Calais with IRS. Would the rim offset be correct going from VP IRS to VS solid axle? The seller said it would be as before previous to the VP...

Any signs of cracks in the coil pack, look underneath also...!

Good luck finding these parts on a Buick V6...... Save yourself $20!!!! Basically mate, your up for a wad load of cash, you can bet that all the suspension bushes need replacing, shocks, balljoints, wheel bearings. Well worth replacing diff oil, trans filter/fluid, oil/filter, fuel filter...

Rapeco have em, its the vacum operated heater tap. But a big bolt in both sections of the hose once removed from the tap and clamp it up with hose clamps. Or just fit a piece of pipe in place of the heater tap. Just means there will be no control over the hot water passing through the heater core.

Was about $100ish trade price for the parts and about $400 labour to get the bearing fitted.

Had the same issue. Had the pinion/carrier bearings replaced in the diff. All good. As for the clanging going into gear most likely uni joints on the tail shaft.

The heater assy is that entire black box. Its got the AC evaporator in it, the heater core, flaps, and blower motor all attached to it. The pipes you are talking about are the supply and return pipes for the heater core. I cant think of what that black hose is? Jump under the car and as ive...

I believe so.

Thats what i meant to say. Doh!

Alters the reading coming from the water temp sensor and fools the ECU into thinking the engine is colder then it is. So it runs it a little richer. More fuel same amount of air = poor fuel economy, less power. Save your money for a real mod.

If you are intending on wasting time with this, make sure its not attached to the inlet manifold/engine........

flog em with a rubber mallet.

There is no hose. The drain is part of the lower section of the heater box assy. The drain is above the gear box towards the passenger side. Sounds like the drain may not be seated properly in the floor pan, or you have a leaking heater core. There is also the possibility that the drain is...

Ive tried to get onto the walkinshaw site but it only kinda half works. I get some crap happening up the top of the screen, but thats it?

Ive been asked by a friend to ask the question.... What after market bonnets are available for the VE Commodore. He is chasing something with a hump in it kind of like the XR8's. Either in Carbon Fibre or Fibreglass. Metal would be nice but doubt anyones making them. Any help would be...

I bought a new Bosch starter today from Coventry Autos was $136, the auto ones are easy as to get out. Ive got a VR II V6. Disconnect the Battery is first and foremost. Undo the 2 15mm bolts (they were very tight) had to use a pole for leverage! The starter drops down easy as. But the B+ lead...

Did u juuuuuuuuump it?

Yep, just had a look see in my w/shop manual. They reckon it should come straight out provided its a bosch starter. If its delco remy then the rack has to be dropped.... I think mine should have the bosch.

My starter has just started playing up also.... Hear the solenoid click, but wont turn over.... Ive got extractors, so wats the easiest way to pull the starter out? Pull the extractors off the head?

It appears that my A/C compressor clutch is sticky... It will intermittently not engage. Ive fed 12v straight to the solenoid but 50% of the time it will not engage. If i give it a little helping hand, it will engage.... Once its engaged the A/C is fine... Are these things able to be stripped...

Any ideas?
