oops. Better buy some glue then :(

Thanks gohrdrgomad, yes will be using aeropro harness where needed. Im not a big fan of cutting the loom. I have the correct loom to convert Holden to iso and keep the steering controls.

Ok I bought a WH statesman roughly two weeks ago. It has the Stock Maestro system, boot cd changer, hands free phone kit and VDO/Dayton GPS installed I have so many ideas in my head about where I would like to with this. I have searched here for RCA and line in mods but the links are broken...

Thanks, and yours looked very nice. Love the chrome over the wheel arches. I just sold my WB to get something a little more modern

This is the newest car I have had. Im from old school v8's and air cooled VW's lol. So had to look that up. So im up for a serpentine belt and the tensioner thats mounted on the drivers side head. Will take a better look in the morning. Thanks for the tip

I just bought a WH Statesman LS1 the other day. Has a light intermittent missfire at idle but reading suggests coil packs so will see how that goes. My major concern at the moment is when I just parked the car I could hear what sounded like the neighbours home alarm. However when I turned off...

I used to believe that before I purchased my verada. There were a stack of things they did not pick up, even the simplest thing like the car had been in a front on accident. I picked it up a year later when I was under the car and saw the over spray on the cross member and a few other places. It...

Well she decided on the first VY she looked at. $12107 on road no more to pay. It comes with a five year "National Warranties" platinum warranty. It's a series II Exec, white plain boring...sorry where was I? Oh yeah what clauses could you recommend to put in the contract. We want a mechanical...

Sorry I was talking about auction houses in SA Yes dealers give warranty with certain conditions, over $3000, under 150000k's and I think it's under 10 years old. A lot will try to sell extra warranty as well however I am not so sure that it's worth it

Went to CAA yesterday and they do not have warranty...unless you pay for it. Government auctions specifically state no warranty. I would assume Pickles would be the same. I just want to know why a vx executive 2002 with 130000 on the clock can be more than a vy executive 2003 with 110000. Both...

Oops......................

Thanks for those, I will take a good look tommorow

I wish we did have more to spend, blame a real conniving underhanded ex wife for some of that. Having a family for the rest lol. Gone are the times of spending $20000 on motors, 2000 on a trans and just over that for the 9" in my old Statesman, it was also the second car known to be converted...

Were looking to spend around $13000. We have seen a fair amount of VY's and a Couple of VZ's as well for close to this sort of money but it will take a bit of haggling. We looked at a VX Calais the other day with the sailsman telling us he won't put an unsafe car on the road and all are checked...

She's not single and I thought I told you to get back in the kitchen woman!

I'm looking at buying a VX or VY V6 and just wondered if there is a list that states the life span of certain parts. Like when should the timing chain be replaced. We are looking under 150 000k's and using all the money in the purchase so wont have a lot for servicing straight after. I can do...

I was lucky with the clause my wife put in so the cars back in the yard. There are two or three cars we can still look at and considering it's the end of thje month we should be able to beat down the price a bit. I appreciated all the comments as they reenforced my opinion. I am starting to warm...

Thanks for the replies. The car was purchased at auction at around 88 000k's I found out that the wife had signed the contract to buy the car subject to my OK after a test drive..well I did not like the drive. The trans seemed to drop revs more than normal when changing up while driving at a...

Hi all, first time poster so be gentle lol We are looking at buying a VX series II Executive as the wife want's a newer car. I don't know a lot about real life experiances with this model as the all my holdens have either been early HR, HK, HG, FB and HJ's and I am now into old school VW's but...
