    Drivers door won't unlock with key or central locking/unlocking device

    If your horn is sounding, it seems like the car thinks that there is a door still open. Does your interior light go on and off as normal? I'm thinking it could be a corroded door switch....

    Wl caprice aftermarket stero install issue

    This is the harness I had. The black plug connected to the vehicle's wiring loom, and the end with all the bullet connectors connected to the appropriate wires coming out of your head unit. All the wires are labelled so you just match them up to the head unit's wiring diagram - I think the...

    Wl caprice aftermarket stero install issue

    Go speak to the guys at Autobarn. It's been a few years since I did mine, but I think there was an additional adapter to make the steering wheel controls work. It wasn't cheap, but I did buy it and it worked flawlessly.

    WK Stato used car problems

    Number two could be your driver's door solenoid - apparently there's a microswitch in it that tells all the other doors to unlock/lock. When that fails, none of the other doors receive the info to perform the same action. Number six, does the seatbelt try to retract at all? I've heard that the...

    The factory amp isn't that bad really, I just got one of those Aeropro adapters when I put my Alpine unit in my WK. There are actually two antennas in the car, the one you can see and another one in the rear window I think. It's supposed to help reception. I believe you can just buy adapters to...

    Did they happen to sell you a wiring harness kit as well? saves having to splice into anything. With one of those, I didn't have to splice into anything.... Also bear in mind that these things have like 10-12 speakers so if you wire direct from the head unit to the speakers you'll lose the use...

    Clock in fascia

    If you want to try to take the fascia off, from memory it's just two screws, one above the tacho one above the speedo. then it should just slide out. You could try using a bit of plastic, like a milk bottle(perhaps tinted) to try and diffuse the brightness a little bit!

    VY Stalls under Deceleration only

    Not sure of the V6 setup, but on my old LS1 the joiners in my PCV hose were all perished causing vaccuum leaks, wreaked havoc on my engine when taking the foot off the accelerator. fixed them up and all good!

    Adding Bluetooth to your stereo on the cheap!

    Hi, Michael I originally had it plugged into my Alpine unit, but I have since sold the car. Before I did, I performed the mod listed in the thread " MP3 through standard sound system" which worked really well.

    For those who may come across this problem in the future, on petty or gas, check your PCV hose. Turns out mine was perished and crumbled where the hoses join at the back at the motor, and also the valve broke inside the hose where it connects at the throttle body. Rather than pay Holden over...

    Best solution for door trim?

    I've actually used araldite on an external trim on a previous car I had many years ago, worked really well, never came off again! Just be warned though, you'll never get it off in the future without damaging something.... Whatever you use, make sure you clean all surfaces thoroughly....

    Mirror switch where to buy a new one.

    Might just be one of those things that aren't manufactured anymore.

    Out of ideas

    Do you clear the codes after you've scanned them? if you don't clear them, they'll pop up the next time you scan. When the car cuts out, if you turn off the ignition and turn it back on again (without attempting to start), can you hear the fuel pump run?

    blue led conversion. can't find instructions

    One guy had a really good write up with pics and everything but he took it down because people were screwing up their dashes and then messaging him for help. He got sick of the messages and just took it down. I think the thread I posted above is about the only thread left.

    blue led conversion. can't find instructions

    To the best of my knowledge, the VY doesn't use those, they're coloured LED's. So, no.... I think the only place you'll find them is the ignition barrel

    Tumbling noise in the rear

    Have someone sit in the back while you're driving and see if they can pinpoint whether it's coming from one or the other side, or in the centre. I'm thinking wheel bearing, but could be the diff too I guess.
