    Oil pickup tube location? 3.8l

    Thanks guys. It sure is a pain in the ass to replace that's why I was asking. How far does it hang down? I was hoping to find a side on shot of the bottom end. It's pretty badly dented but oil light hasn't flicked on once. The temp is also good along with no bad noises... Here are some pics from...

    Oil pickup tube location? 3.8l

    Hey Guys, just wondering if anyone knows where the oil pickup tube is located and how far it hangs down into the sump? Trolley jack slipped off the K frame and dented my sump pretty bad today :bang:. I cranked it over by hand, ran it and revved with no noises and also no light but I'm still not...

    VS Esteem CV joint - Yes or No

    There is a CV joint in the tail shaft/propeller shaft on both live and IRS. Not talking about IRS drive shaft CV's here. Ever picked up a tail shaft? How do you think it maneuvers up down left right in the middle?

    VS Esteem CV joint - Yes or No

    Yes it does and all VB onwards to VX I think. Its just behind/near the center bearing if I remember. Did it vibrate before the reconditioned auto though? I replaced my cv joint awhile ago because it was clunking every time I put the clutch in (sort of high pitch sound). Grabbed both parts of...

    Will VZ struts fit my VR??

    I thought I'd throw a pic in as to what I'm looking at getting. Apparently they are from a VZ senator? Are they true coil overs?

    Interior Light stays on dull

    The interior light stays on faintly when its meant to turn completely off. I think it may be a bad earth but I have checked all door jam switches and checked the interor light itself so I don't know where else other than ripping the roof lining out which would not be fun. It runs down to the...

    Bump stops

    With great difficulty. You can rip them out easy but putting them back in can be very hard. I use to push one lip in with a flat head and work it all the way along both sides. Maybe the freezer? Got to try that next time I reckon.

    NPC Clutch not disengaging, T5

    haha yeh my bad. What I was saying is I can't loosen it off any further otherwise I will have no clutch, unless I hit the firewall really hard lol. The Piviot ball inside the bellhousing is at fault and you can adjust it for this very reason. Edit: Oh and don't say it's a worn clutch because...

    1 inch master cylinder???

    Yes with no problems at all. I have a VN spac 1" in my VR for my VT brakes.

    NPC Clutch not disengaging, T5

    To a certain extent Mischa. I need to adjust the pivot ball on mine too because my pedal is higher than normal... The cable is as tight as it can be par a tiny bit of slack but I will fix it via that pivot when I rebuild the box. So yeah, LX Hatch would be in the same boat as me I reckon.

    Help: VE SSV/SS on vs ute?

    If you can yes. Or if you get them with still some good tread just flog them off and put towards your new tyres. Taking tyres off is inexpensive if that's what you may be thinking.

    Help: VE SSV/SS on vs ute?

    You will need them machined and wrapped in 235/35/19's. It's the only way they will fit. The standard 245/45/19 will not fit. Your super lows will be fine.

    T5 gearbox wont change down to 3rd from 4th!!!

    Ford T5 into VR?

    I have a couple of good ford t5's both from xf's? I want to put one of the ford t5's in my VR. I got told the input shaft is different with the ford's so can I swap the input shaft from my Commy T5? Also the mount point Ive heard is different... Anyone done this? Thanks

    vbulletin 4 forum upgrade TECHNICAL problems - post here

    Starting problems

    AFAIK that's normal for it to start not as quick as petrol because petrol is more volatile. I suggest you start on petrol and flick it onto gas. :D
