    Vt wagon locked and wrong key

    he didn't lock it and yes tail gate locked to. I got into it in about 30seconds once I had the drill and 6 mm bit handy. To open a vt door lock just drill it with a 6mm bit and it pops like you used a key.

    Question about shocks and springs.

    that my not be right. on older models fe2 and country pack springs have a shorter fully extended height then standard springs. both use the same shock which is shorter then standard. I think I will do a little research. I have stupid low springs to swap to so want to know.

    VP V8 on LPG/Petrol broke down!

    check fuel pump fuse contacts. silver bottle up behind the strut towers is ac mate. gas valve will have heater hoses going to it to stop it icing up and freezing shut or open so if it was the gas valve you have seroius problems.

    vp commodore pod filter "sucking" noise

    qld rules state that it must be enclosed in a box. you could make a pretty clear box and fit the pod inside and aslong as it was secure you are ok in qld. now if you have to start drilling holes to fit the box then that is another matter again.
