I havnt checked inside dizzy. It's not too old. It's a Rae diz. I've got my old Bosch here. Was goin to see how hard to swap rotor n cap as Bosch still has good points it's Hall effect was dead. It's such a pita

So all changed but still there. Wondering if may be issue with new dizzy that got thrown on last year. Idles sweet now. Seems to miss after 3500 few times as it winds out.

Sweet. Well I got a new coil too anyway. Figured dizzy done. Another module new coil n plugs. Leads are top gun 10mm still look fairly new. Pre much covered everything then Thanks for everyone input.

So picked up another module last night, goin to grab a coil today for the sake of it. Anyone know an easy way to get to the nuts holding module down. Quick look think need to get inside the guard lining to get to the nuts, is there a trick to getting the plastic rivets off without breaking...

It was missin bad on way home yesterday arv. This morn first time started n idle trouble free. Couple miss on trip. Always runs fine when need it to play up. Doesn't feel like it's just a single cylinder other times it does. Like its a constant miss then goes all over the place. Say...

Hey ppl VS 304, past few weeks needed to warm up before driving. Tacho jumps around when its missing. Would calm down once temp at around 45-50deg mark. Dizzy 8-9months old Plugs just done no change Any ideas? Not sure if should bite bullet n do leads too, or if there is a...

new barrel had key, guy at repco said no but didnt look lol. turns out there was some busted pieces for the column lock, made it very difficult to align new barrel. Had to jamm the lock down to fit barrel. pita!!! Weird to have key turn so freely.

hey need new ignition barrel, repco has for $60, but no key do these come with the tumblers to recode to my key? or any ideas, is it hard to DIY recode myself? Any locksmiths show some insite, being most place are close for chrissy/new year "bangs head" old barrel is out, can start with...

what rims are on the Calais. chasin a center cap for these rims http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee153/calais_cruzin/210120105941.jpg

Ive put it on the back burner for the moment, was drivin me nutz. Next plan was cut the spring loaded pin wire, run it to a new relay. I dont know what else to try

Horn on, i have 12,46v at the horn, horn off has no voltage. this to me shows relay is working and sending voltage. doin my head in

ok today i tried to ground between horn pad and cig lighter, no sound relay still clicks. then went from cig to spring loaded pin, still nothing. damm bastard, cant think of what else to do.

nah no luck gettin it to work without ground lead attached

will give it a go without ground lead. next idea was just run a new ground direct to batt. If it was connection from relay to horn i wouldnt get 12.46v at the horn when button is pressed correct? My dad was lookin thru the diagram, said there is a diode between horn n theft horn, may be...

yeah just swapped em around, no sound, relay still clicks

so back at it today. just did a volt test at the horn, 12.46 volt and reads same when i use batt as the negative. so its not ground from horn. got me stuffed, relay is engaging as it wouldnt have 12v at the horn other wise. Horns work when direct connection to batt.

there are 2x horns in the same location, one has both connections, other runs single from the other horn. i put new connections on the one that takes both +/-

ok ive got it sorted out but still no horn its now got continuity between front n rear of wheel, as well as the spring loaded pin. But still no horn Goin to have to see if i get a volt reading at the horn connection next, will leave that for tomorrow

wait no continuity between horn pad and spring loaded pin, just did those contacts that touch the column, will rip apart again put some contact grease in there

ok so today i took of the steering wheel. I have continuity between brass contact behind the steering wheel that touches the steering column I have continuity between horn pad and spring loaded pin behind wheel. I have soldered new connectors at the horn. I have swapped relays I just put...

Yes i have read thru that thread, just tryin to avoid removal of steering wheel. but looks like i will have to. NAAF i swapped relay with one of the others, same issue. PSI3800, i cleaned up all the contacts under the horn cover and on the backing plate and sping loaded pin, it makes contact...

hmm i recon its gotta be ground related at the horn pad/back contact Gets a fluctuating voltage 9-11v at the horn, but should still work with that voltage. Guess ill have to take steering wheel off see what i can come up with

Just got another horn for $4 still no honkin

Guess that would be a good option to check

Hey All Got a dodgy horn, cleaned contacts under horn pad, brass ring and pin on back of wheel, still nothing Sometimes its been working when trying to get it fixed. Removed terminals at the horn, cleaned n put contact grease on, hooked up with horn pressed n it fired up, then stopped...

think ive figured out why it looks wrong, the races are on new bearings, olds are just the roller bearing im lookin at

well from memory when i did rotors last the inner bearing was alot bigger than these, will find out how it goes tomorrow

i can see the same onse on ebay so they must fit, just a different type of bearing, guess ill just have to give it a crack see how they fit. Ive got service munuals but when u cant get the same part in spares shops u ask here to check what the go is

Easiest way to tell VS/VP CC differences is, hot/cold buttons are the opp way around on VP cold is on the right, VS cold is on the left. Also VS has a smaller backside not as long. Also i think the VP one has the temp sensor lead hanging loose off unit where VS doesnt. Unsure about part numbers

Hey all Got some bearings for front, any way they are different to what already in there. Orig are a single tapered roller bearing, these new onse i got have 2x bearings a big n a small with a new seal. Havnt tried to fit them as they are obviously different. Anyone used em? got mine...

It will be the return line, its common for them to break right at the swirl pot. Id take off fuel pump assembly and reach in tank you will find the other end of hose floating around. its a pain to reattach to the swirl pot with tank fitted easiest to go buy another pump assembly with the...

Lol thats one way to find a new home for her ay, hehehe

Yeah my vp calais has made it, 364xxxkm unopened, hopefully it will make the return trip :P

calais has been retired to the garage. Took possession of a 00 VT Gen3 SS with 124thou kms for 4.5k last night Love the power she has compared to the ol clapped out 350thou km V6

ended up gettin a vs tail light loom n gettin those duel filiment holders to fit, ran a relay triggered from dash lights. Id lost power down the illumination wire, couldnt find where from (possible bcm) But last night i purchased a VTSS gen3 for 4.5k, just gettin sick of muckin around for a...

Ended up running a relay for rear parker lights. Triggered relay from dash lights 12v so they still have auto turn off.

Hey all Got no tail lights in rear once u turn on headlights. Issue somewhere I can't find. But ino is to do with illumination wire. Dash Lights still work. But stezza does not dim when lights are on. Headlights work. Where should I trace back to?? Fuse is good. Otherwise dash lights...

It's prob deteriorated just like u say. I'd love to get some new lights but being Calais I'd want the chrome don't think they do vp calais only standard now. Anyway turns out its a elec issue for my Parker lights for rear only. The globes are rusty but there is no power at the start of loom...

over the 9yrs ive had this car ive redone the seals twice, and put silicon on all the join lugs for the lens. I just cant be bothered fixing it again, havin to clean off old silicon etc, this is why i want to get rid of the globe holder loom n have something like a slimline trailer light...
