    VP Problems!! Please help!

    if you take the car to a suspension place that does wheel alignments you'll have more luck, most tyre places yell out "too hard basket" and tell the customer to take it to a pedders shop etc etc, if you find a decent wheel alignment place they can sort all of this out. in regards to petrol tank...

    Fuel km remain- Fuel gauge wrong

    correction it's actually the "set" button, ignition on, press hold for a sec, then change the reading down the amount of km's you believe it is out.

    vp headlight upgrades

    as stated above, you can re-paint the glass with some engine hi-temp enamel in sliver, or if you can get your hands on some spray on glue that is heat resistant to the heat the headlight produces, you can try to stick some reflective alluminium foil to the outside bottom edge of headlamp, for me...

    vp headlight upgrades

    Hiya, VN,VQ, VP, all this series the lights only work well if there is good reflection of light through the glass lens. Your best bet would be to chase a good set of reflectors, all vn/vq/vp have the same part here, but the headlight glass is unique to vp as it curves more, but get ones with...

    VS Caprice 5.0 won't go!

    too much fuel in the combustion chamber can cause it to just crank and crank and crank, remove the fuel pump fuse and try cranking it over, if it splutters to try to start, then starts, then you have a faulty fuel regulator. But it could also be your computer is fried, I've had one that has done...

    Changing water pump VN/VP/VR

    I am not sure if this was covered in this thread, but if you notice the timing chain cover that the water pump bolts onto you will notice there has been corrosion beginning to affect the water outlet on the passenger side – or (right hand side if your looking at the picture), my recommendation...

    Never use engine cleaner

    Engine cleaner is the best way to cause problems. Service the car reqularly and you won't need to, but what most people fail to do is change the oil filter, it's there to pick up all the gunk the engine produces, and all engine cleaners will loosen up all the **** in the sump, and throw it...

    could be transmission fluid getting sucked into your inlet manifold......? if you've not lost any performance, then it has to be something small, letting in oil into the chambers... are the plugs fowled? oil cap milky? some cars do fog up out of the exhaust system more than others but not a...

    Vr start up

    valve stem seals usually would do it all the time, not just on start up. You can remove the fuel rail, and injectors. Keep the fuel lines connected. Then simply placing some paper under each one will show you which one is dribbling, the other option is pick up a new set from e - bay.... probably...

    VS wheel threads

    looks like the wheels your fitting have the same issue as using VE rims, you can have the rim modified to remove some of the thickness where the rim meets the hub. But before you do this ensure it will clear the bottom of the struts, fitting longer struts isn't a good option as the longer the...

    front streering

    more information required.... define sway?..... 1. Can you see any wear on tyres, e.g. worn inside edge of tyres? low tyre pressure? 2. Have you had your front rims balanced? if one is slightly out, it will cause it to pull to one side. now if your talking about the car sways like a boat...

    Vr start up

    sounds like one or two of your injectors are losing pressure/ dribbling into the combustion chamber. when it finally fires does it produce a small cloud of blue/white smoke out the exhausts?.. .if YES, then it sounds like you have injector dribble.....very common.

    VR Calais Oil Problem

    sounds like the trans cooler that is part of your radiator has a leak. letting in trans coolant into the radiator causing it discolour. To fix either bypass the radiator for the trans lines running an external trans cooler, or replace radiator. To do a simple check, disconnect both trans lines...

    Wanting to go lower with 20" wheels

    Hi, Just throwing my 10 cents in here, everyone seems to go for King Springs, but no one ever speaks about "Lovells", they can supply any height spring. I use them all the time for when clients lower their cars. They can get your height exactly where you want it to be, the only thing to worry...

    changing front struts, what else should i change/buy???

    Items that would need replacement. - Struts (simply because most vr/vs have the shock absorber as one piece with the strut) - Sway bar bushes - Strut Tops Springs sag, but that doesn't warrant replacement. As standard struts fit both standard hieght springs and FE2 specs. Optional, replace...
