mytransmission just died on me! tried starting it up on sunday morning, and took off. got onto the highway, and it just kept revving in second. it simply will not go into third, or fourth. when i took my foot off the pedal, the revs returned to idle. iv checked all the fuses, all good. HELP...

this happened to me the other nite, and it happened on my previous vy as well. i found just twisting the little door open/close sensor a little clockwise fix's it completly. my first vy did this two years ago, and it still works perfectly.

Iv got the series 2 with twin cat aswell. straight after the cat's theres a merger pipe, and it goes into single system, just like a single cat system. when fitting a cat back, u just need to shorten the pipe a few inchs. nothing major. i have pacemaker extractors, highflow cats and a lukey...

iv done that before. my mates liked it. my missus didnt! when i went to buy it, 16 months ago, it was advertised for 16, had been reduced to 14, and i weaseled it down to 12. had just ova 100 thou on it. ran perfect. look perfect.

i do agree, but if i sold it now, even if i got 10 for it, after paying off the loan, i would only just break even. id then be left without even a deposit. btw, im not on my p's anymore. i was gonna get the engine changed in a workshop. and change the dif and trans myself shortly after to save...

After looking at nearly every option available, iv decided to put a 5.7L into my vy exec. iv look at turbocharging, supercharging, getting a dif car. none of them are what i want for various reasons. the way im hoping to go is to get a written off vt/vy ss and switch engine/dif/tran/ecu and...
