    how to remove little spacer thing.

    It is bolted and glued on, quite hard to get off without snapping it as it is made out of cast alloy. There is a 10mm bolt inside the car behind the plastic trim where your seat belt is and the rest is glued.

    Genuine VZ police pads?

    I had bendix police pads on my car and I found that they are good but take to long to warm up. I brought genuine police brake pads from holden that cover the whole backing pad and they work fantasic only cost $100 and have less dust than bendix. I also have slotted discs which help alittle.

    OUCH!!!! Have I bought a re-birth

    Vehicle that was from Queensland could have been involved in floods in Mackay in Feb 08. Thats why it may look as if there was no repairs done. Also the low kms maybe because vehicle was not purchased until later 2007.

    repairable write off..

    Hail damage that is not fixed should not effect you getting a pass with VIV only when you go to get insurance. The vehicle was only a wrie off because it was uneconomical to reapir. Have a look on the vicroads website under VIV and that will give you all the info you will need.

    Front end re-bushed and still not happy. Suggestions please.

    Your car is most likely following the road contours. If your on a straight road (like the freeway) does it drive straight?
