New Gel in here in Canberra - http://www.newgel.com.au does on for the wagon.....

Being from Canberra - I must work for the Government - true - but there are worse jobs around. Plenty of domestic travel as well as the occasional OS trip makes this job even more enjoyable. While there are bludgers in the public service (as there are in most other workplaces) the vast...

Try these - http://www.sasbazooka.com/productAutoPassiveBTsBT.asp Were popular in utes about a decade ago - before most of you got licences I reckon! Obviously the yanks are still buying them - cool to say you've got a Bazooka in you car though!

Hi all , Can anyone tell me if there was a mod done by holden for the VT2 that supposedly got rid of the problem of scrubbing out the insides of the rear tyres? While washing the wagon on the weekend I noticed the steel belts poking out of the inside tyre....needless to say the spare is on...

Most of the decent ones are impossible to get into. Fyshwick Panel Beaters are good as well as Pulfords opposite Bing Lee and BARS in Mithcell are good as well. Dont go near Barrett Bros - after we hit a kangaroo they didn't even remove the roo snot from the windscreen or fur scuff from...

This does seem to happen in a few VT's. The light and beep comes on. The first time it happened to me I thought "is this going to blow up in my face any time soon?!?!" The computer may or may not show up the error message and they may or may not be able to track the fault. Mine seems...

The defect may have had something to do with load ratings. I know the inspectors here in Canb have been hot recently on utes/4wd's with huge mags fitted that do not meet the manufacturers load ratings. There are very few mags that can legally be fitted to HiLux's/Territory's etc as well as...

We got our VT2 Berlina wagon when it was two years old with 30k on the clock...it was 42 grand new and we paid 22 grand. NEVER buy brand new. The Gov auctions are the way to go here in Canberra - all the depreciation has occurred and you get a near new car still under warranty.

To answer your question on whether the outside temp reading affects the climate control - no. There is an internal sensor (on my VT it's a little oval "grill" about the size of your thumbnail on the dash behind the left side of the steering wheel) that works out the current cabin temp and...

I've had my amp mounted on the jack cover - back left in the cargo space. Can't go on the backs of the seats as the cage and kids car seat attachments don't allow it. Under the passengers seat is OK but watch out for peoples feet - esp if there are going to be kids in the car and the amp has...

Yep - the standard horn sounds like it should be in a Barina - not a Commodore! Spend 25 bucks at SupaCheap and get some air horns. I put mine in the engine bay bolted to the front left wheel arch. Ran the wires from where the old horn was - underneath front right bumper to the new location...

Components - like 2 or 3 way 6x9's - they have more than one component built in - the bigger bits handle the lower frequencies and the smaller bits handle the higher ones. Splits - split the two or three components (mostly 2). They have either a cross over or inline filter to send the high...

Yep in my "classier" Berlina you can set the time that the lights stay on after you lock the doors. My lights are on all the time and only once in the last 5 years have they failed to switch themselves off. Did the procedure (using the trip computer buttons and instrument dim switch) and all...

Yep - I have had the same problem - and hopefully after Wednesday and a few hunderd dollars for a new rack - the problem will be fixed. Aparently the rack can go anytime after 100 000 k's....

I've got a single DIN Alpine deck - put a little 6 CD holder underneath it to fill the gap - works perfectly and looks like it was always there. The deadlick works on my VT2 by double pressing the remote..... Anyone got amps in their wagon - where'd you put them? Cheers

Excellent - thanks for the tips.

Due to wayward kids feet I am replacing the springy pocket that is on the back of the passengers seat in my VT2 Berlina. Any tips on how to get the back off the seat? The pocket fits onto the hard seat back - are there any spots where locator pins/clips are likely to snap if I get too...

I had some Polk splits a few years ago and they were great. The crossovers were excellent - and the only reason I didn't use one of their subs was because I needed a couple of tens that could fit into a small box. Polk actually specialise in home speaker systems so they know what they are...

On the topic of lowering and 18's there's a bloke that I was next to at the lights a few weeks ago in a VT wagon - and it looked like an Adventra - it was that high! Then something very cool happened - he hit the air bag switches and it was dumped....totally dumped. Back right, back left then...

After speaking to three places they all agreed that the seals go on the rack anything after 100k...we've done 120k and I knew the seals were on the way out. Last time I had an alignment the boots had power steering fluid sitting in them - apparently that's no good! Thanks for all the replies...

We have had the same thing on our wagon going on for two years now. Had it checked every time it's serviced and they can't find anything. All wires etc have been checked....it's a mystery. Sometimes when I'm sitting at the lights with the airbag beeping I think "What happens if this goes bang...

Thanks - will see what they say about the seals. Am not too bad mechanically but don't trust my self with a trip to QLD coming up! Cheers AG

Anyone had a quote recently to replace the rack and power steering pump in a VT2 Berlina Wagon? They have quoted $800 to supply and fit....too high or a good price? Thanks AG
