Could i get some pics sent to 0406 520 032 please mate. Or you could just upload them so you don't get us all pestering you :P

Theyre talking about the video card as he had 2 installed, not the entire PC..

Leave the Holden badge and the HBD as suggested for sure

I had a similar issue on my VT, turns out there was a pad? underneath that needed to be replaced. Not sure if it helps you mate but just a thought.

Car is headed into the mechanic tomorrow as he was fully booked yesterday so i'll let you know as soon as I find out mate. Mine did the same thing, jolting motion when I 1st pulled out the driveway for a few seconds but then is fine once I let it sit for 30secs or so tops. Hasn't done it since...

That's how I drive mine too though, but thought about warming it up to see if it made a change. Seems to be an intermittent problem which is why it gives me the shits! lol

Oddly enough the same thing happened to me yesterday for the first time in my VT, Car is at the mechanics at the moment for that and some other things so if the mechanic can pin point it i'll let you know mate. Wasn't sure if maybe I hadn't let the car warm up for long enough? Will keep you...

Ouch, Hope whoever was driving it survived because that sounds painful

...What question? That looks like a statement? Don't take 8grand for the GTS, i'll give you 10k! Oh yeah I went there, So deal? For the VE GTS that is right? What exactly is wrong with your dads old GTS anyway?

For some reason i'm referencing you with the scarecrow from The wizard of Oz, go figure...

Stockies on the back, says it all

Nothing on the receipt saying "sold as is" so speaking with a mate today who is a lawyer to see what avenues I can take to at least get re imbursed for some of the cost. As for the mechanic i've taken my car's there for years now and that's why I trust him, he showed me the damage briefly this...

Also no idea if the damage was done by a previous owner. But i'll post up the details of what needs to be done etc when I get it in writing.

Yes I got it checked by another mechanic and as soon as it was up on the hoist he went through a list of things and also said that the whole air bag system would need to be replaced which off the top of his head he said was $600-800. (I'm guessing that's brand new?)

That was my point from the beginning but as I was reluctant to show the posts at first it most likely made it sound a bit shady so sorry for the confusion.

Cheers mate, appreciate the words and advice. :)

How does showing you the difference between two different arguements imply that i'm "jacked up"? It doesn't matter what type of car it is, the principle stays the same, If you get told your'e buying something, you want it to be what you've told it to be, correct? Or would you be happy to walk...

Cheers mate, (*lines up for a whack on the noggin*). It's a nice car nonetheless but I bought it believing it to be an SS, simple as that. Estimate from the mechanic so far is at a couple of grand as it looks like it may have been in an accident so he's going over it fully and once he gives me...

Example.. Original question regarding model: Note the dates http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/vt-vx-holden-commodore-1997-2002/179112-vt-vin-number-help.html#post1997965 Then realising what the car was in fact a Berlina: Note the dates...

Pretty much this sums it up I guess.

A bent K frame and welds in places to spot fix is nowhere near a "rip in a seat" mate, not to mention the air bag system being royally rooted and the bulb or something or other was taken out so that the error wouldn't show up on the dash. I guess im just pissed off at the fact that you can't...

First time i bought a car which was RACV checked and had a roadworthy, vic roads checked showed it as fine but noticed a few squeals and noises etc here and there so got it taken to my mechanic who looked it over and noticed some repairs had been done and were quite average and later found out...

lol love it

Well after speaking with my lawyer that i have used before on a previous issue similar to this I am able to lodge a claim similiar to my last one as the seller sold the car under the pretence that it was a different model than the car actually is, therefore making it false advertising. I guess...

Yep I do after doing some digging, without going into specifics I have some posts stating that he realised the model of car it was and then a month later sold it as a different model (If that makes sense) and the issues he told me that the car had, were not even CLOSE to what the mechanics have...

Hey guys, Long story short I bought a car from a member on here etc believing what he told me about the car was true, turns out it's going to cost 3grand worth of repairs... Is it worth following it up legally as the seller is refusing to come to the table with anything, let alone hear me...

Interested mate, just pm me a time when I can come have a look at it.

Hey mate, what are the bad points on the car that will need fixing? Got any pics of the interior?

If you follow all the posts about the VX SS you can see why >.< Also maybe he just prefers the VS look :rofl2:

360 - Falling and Flying... It's going to be stuck in the CD player from now on

Just got mine done for $200, nice and easy and saved me the time although looking at the how to videos i probably should've done it myself! lol

Either way he has done 2 of my own cars, 1 of which i have had for 5yrs now and the air con is fine so not sure about this reclaimed gas stuff? Either way just stating that my service was $200 and the regas came out at $50 so either way i'm a happy man with working A/C on more than one car done...

Mine got done with my service for $50

How hard are these to put on? Keen to throw some on my green VS but not even sure where to start looking to buy them from, any ideas? (In Vic)

Cheers guys, willing to give it a go as the paint underneath seems good enough, and worse comes to worse it's only $100 down the drain if i mess it up and i'll just get a prof to fix it but i'm on here hoping to learn so I guess why not! Time to search the forums on how to's. Will also check...

Any idea on prices at all?

Also would the paint underneath need to be re done or would it just require that top lacquer to be re done? The paint underneath looks smooth and doesn't have any blemishes on it or anything so i'm hoping I can get away with just a re coat but if it's gonna look like crap then I will just get...

Does anyone know how much it costs to re coat your bonnet in the SE suburbs of VIC when it starts peeling and looking like absolute shite? Can't stand looking at the bonnet in it's current condition so if anyone has had it done can they throw up how much it cost them and if it was in VIC...

I'm no expert but usually if you take something out it's there for a reason resulting in unwanted problems? If you've found that the thermostat was the problem it sounds like you're better off replacing it rather than going without one.

Thanks a heap for all the info guys, keen on trying to get the car up to scratch before taking the kids out camping over Xmas so that I don't run into trouble in the middle of nowhere! Living in Vic Darcy; 1st para: I noticed whilst driving and braking hard-ish that the oil light would come...
