Hey guys, might be dumb question, but will a VT fuel pump fit in a VS tank? It's for an old holden build, running full VT running gear (304, T700 etc), so needed the steel tank to relocate filler pipe etc. Thanks.

I still get this crap. Only on JC forum. Adware and anti virus find nothing. Reset browser to default works for a short period then its back. It's getting soI ccan't use JC on my phone. Surely mods must be aware of this?

I was dumb enough to keep the service at Holden for my VT years ago. Every service was over priced, and always got calls for urgent repairs that weren't covered by the warranty. The one thing that actually did go on the car during the warranty period was the BCM which wasn't covered as it's an...

Definitely buy an after market nav. I have factory in mine. It works OK but can't get map upgrades.

Might also be time for new leads? Don't be surprised if you break some getting them off.

Jealous ####ers. Would love to catch one at it! Sorry to hear mate.

Yeah, a lot of mechanics replace them with brass hose joiners. These are a dumb design and always end up leaking.

Hi mate, no mods at all. Car is going in for a service, so will get it checked. From what I have read, it seems quite a few people have had this issue. Thanks.

Just confirmed that clearing codes fixes the key issue, as my key is now working again. Still no idea why this happens, perhaps Ricey has some idea?

Hey, just wondering if anyone could explain why logged error codes would affect the key fob from remotely opening the car? I've had the intermittent issue whereby the key won't work unless I first unlock the drivers door manually. The key works as expected from then, with all buttons functioning...

Mine did the same thing. Came back to life after manually unlocking. Changed battery in the fob and disconnected car battery for an hour. All good.

Mate, you will be lucky if the stuffed bearing hasn't also stuffed your axle like mine did. Makes for a far more pricey job. B@astard of a job to do yourself.

I have this problem too. Let us know how you go.

Possibly a VIN id letter as well. My Calais is X from memory.

Ive seen a couple of V8 Berlinas getting around too.

Glad to hear it all went well.

Try disconnecting your car battery for a few hours. Worked for me.

Prick of a job to do yourself. Mine was $320 including labour.

What motor?

If you mean the tensioner is bobbing up and down check your harmonic balancer for a wobble.

Try disconnecting your car battery for a couple hours, it helped my recent key issues.

Also, have you checked for error codes?

Vheck the wire to the cas to make sure the insulation and wires isnt damaged.

Ive had similar issues with dodgy wire to CAS.

I remember reading that they were selling the ute in USA as an el camino. Have you looked into that option? LHD and would probably be cheaper than an OZ car?

Yep, as with all jobs on these cars, mouth possie is critical.

Thanks very much for the replies, will get a screwdriver onto it.

Has noone done this before?

Hi, Problem fixed, I replaced the key battery and left the car battery disconnected for several hours. Unfortunately, I did both at the same time, so can't advise which did the trick, or perhaps it was both. Thanks for the tips.

Hi all, This is probs a dumba$$ question, but how do you replace the globe in the glove box? I couldn't get the light cover to pop out, so do you need to remove the glove box screws? Cheers,

As a final addendum to my addendum, water pump replaced without drama, but had to then replace both belts, they were squealing so bad, sounded like my motor was about to sh1t itself! So in summary, the only things I didnt have to replace was alternator and A/C compressor.

Belts is one of the easiest jobs. 7mm socket to remone the air box and 15mm to compress the tensioner. If you get coolant on the belts you may need to replace them as they may start squealing like mine did.

Do what I did when getting the pump replaced, get a full system flush and replace the cap. Should be good then.

Thanks, will give it a try.
