    General Query - Breath Tests

    The other night, i was getting money out of an ATM and a copper pulled up next to me. My car was a good 200 metres away (and even then, I don't think the copper knew I was the owner). The cop asked me what I was doing and proceeded to breath test me. I'm unfamiliar on the law in Victoria...

    VR abs module , can I add?

    G'day everyone, I've done a search but all i could find were questions about VN upgrades to ABS and the like. I've got a 94 VR exec wagon with no ABS and I'm wondering what I'd need to upgrade it to ABS? :beer chug:

    bloody odd ! WTF ?

    I was driving along yesterday in my VR Berlina, pulled up at a set of lights and the engine warning light came on. Ten seconds later, the stereo turned off...then the headlights started flickering, gauges turned off. It was as if the electric power of the car decided to go on Holiday. All that...

    VR/VS roof leak (rear window + rust )

    My better half's 93 Berlina's rear window mould has been leaking water for a while now. The roof, (above the mould) has slight rust in it, causing the water to seep through to the interior. I've tried all my options, none of them worked so it looks like the rust will have to be either cut...

    VR commodore sunvisor bracket

    Thanks mate. Don't spose you'd know how to take the front bar off too? The alignment is slightly out and I promised her I'd have a go at fixing it for her.

    Headunit Advice

    ATM, I'm looking for a cheapy (200-250) MP3 CD head unit. I've narrowed the brands down to alpine, clarion, kenwood and pioneer. Anyone got any suggestions as to what I should get? For me, looks and overall sound quality are the most important thing. Features are a distant second, purely...

    An interesting thought regarding redlight/speed cameras

    I was driving to work today and I had an interesting thought as I passed through an intersection with those new dual speed/red light cameras (in Box Hill, Melbourne) this morning. I understand that the sensors work by timing the car between points in the intersection using sensors on the...

    Policy with speed cameras?

    Ahh yes, a dismissive tone is going to make your argument so much more effective. You idiot. Silly me, I must of forgot that machines are 100% perfect, 100% of the time. If you're so correct know it all, why do they have a tolerance to begin with? Ahh, sucks to be wrong doesn't it. What an...

    Policy with speed cameras?

    What I love... is in Victoria, vehicles are allowed to have speedometre inaccuracy of up to ten percent. Effectively, 6 kms in a 60 zone, 7 kms in a 70 zone and ... you betcha, under Victorian law, your speedo can say 100 when you're actually doing 110. This seems counterintuitive does it...
