    Vs's have the phone connector too taped up under the glovebox. Perfect for this.

    VS 5 litre won’t start

    Sounds like alternator isn't charging and you managed to drive home on battery but now it's flat. Clicking sounds like starter relay. Check battery voltages static and cranking to confirm battery health and maybe alternator brushes and charge wire connections.

    VX turns but wont spark

    If it's below quarter of a tank of fuel you may be having issues with the swirl pot in the fuel pump. Pump will try to prime but won't. If tank is low, chuck 20L in it. Could be lots of other things though, so just an idea worth checking. Have you checked all fuses and for error codes?

    I'm gonna get an alias for when I really need the entire site to drop what they're doing and help me. Something like sexysinglesuzie should do it.

    Vx getting hot at idle

    When I got my current vt, did a cooling system refresh and the old water pump had no fins left. None.

    Noise that sounds like Rumble Strips

    I'd be suspecting uni joints or centre bearing before gbox. Worth getting a mech or a mate to check tailshaft for any freeplay/movement.

    Hazards aircon radio clock all not working and now the car wont start saying contact dealer..

    I'd call my dealer too. Just to take the edge off and relax a bit. Very stressful when cars play up with weird stuff.

    Power window stuck closed

    The switch design is the weak link in commodore windows for sure.

    Checked relays and fuses with swaps first though.

    Power window stuck closed

    Ive had that. Disassembled and rebuilt the front switch to remove oxidisation from the dry joints and crud that fell in, for a quick fix, but its tricky. I only did it to confirm the switch was limiting amps to the reg, which it was. Now I can confidently order a switch without fear of throwing...

    99 vt commodore

    Could be wiring short or shagged pump. Either is pulling more amps than rated for the pump and fuse. Do you hear the pump try and prime then pop or instant pop?

    Vs v6 ute sitting lower on one driver side

    Excessive bouncing on any corner is definately a failing shock. So glad you worked it out bloke. Its always fun trying to help people diagnose.

    Vs v6 ute sitting lower on one driver side

    Ok. Looks like I might have been sending you down the wrong path last night. Just trying to think of ebery possible cause for you. As I went to sleep I started to doubt that a front roll bar could cause a 2 to 3 inch difference in the rear. Maybe an inch. Id still measure the set link pin...

    Vs v6 ute sitting lower on one driver side

    Only if the swaybar isnt sitting even. If its twisted by the linkpins it will dive on one side on the front and the opposite side on the rear. If its whats causing the rear to sit unbalanced, just loosening them will level the rear. If loosening them has no effect on the rear, then the problem...

    Vs v6 ute sitting lower on one driver side

    Ok. Id loosen them right off and see if that helps resolve the rear. Misaligned front roll bar can twist the car. Then tighten the tops of the link pins with wheels off, but leave the bottom loose so the sway bar can sit unloaded. Then on perfectly level ground with wheels on and no jacking...

    Vs v6 ute sitting lower on one driver side

    Sounds right. Drivers side is compressed more at the moment so should be a bit stiffer than the other one.

    Vs v6 ute sitting lower on one driver side

    Ok. Are you positive you're on level ground? It matters. Also, you haven't by chance replaced sway bar link pins recently have ya? They need to be dialled exactly with some designs to not twist your setup.

    Battery degrading VTII V6

    It also shouldn't drop below 10v while cranking. But, you do all realise he has identified a leaking circuit that a new battery and or alternator wont fix dont youse?

    Vs v6 ute sitting lower on one driver side

    Id jump on towbar as a quick check that nothing on that side is siezed. Would be noticeable to hold one side that high.

    Binding upper or lower trailing arm bushes? F, im full of guesses tonight.

    Battery degrading VTII V6

    Leave the fuse in place and check for continuity between fuse and gnd. Would indicate a short on that circuit unless intermittent. You'd think a short would blow the fuse though so now im not sure. Getting close to auto electrician territory here. Could a shorted bulb cause the low current...

    VE Low Beam Headlight Fuse Size

    It might mean 10 or 20 depending on options fitted. Maybe. Are drl's an option on that model? Im totally guessing that 10 with no drl's, 20 with drl's. I have nfi though.

    Battery degrading VTII V6

    If a positive supply wire is shorting it should show continuity to ground/earth/chassis, I think. Let me think about it for a bit.

    Vs battery wires

    Looks like the alternator charge wire. If you have continuity between the alternator charge terminal and the end of that wire, then it goes on the positive. The red insulation and gauge of wire looks like your alternator lead. If you don't know how to test for continuity, you could just...

    Best exhaust sound?

    Vs was solid axle and vt is irs, but I don't think that bend in the rear pipe was relevant and doesn't explain the difference between the two systems.
