    Fitting electric windows

    Hi, Im having a problem with the front window of the driver side intermittently not going up. It goes down fine, but not up. Seeing as it is the only window with this problem and that it is an intermittent fault, I am thinking it is due to the BCM. I am therefore going to try to bypass the...

    Diff or Rear suspension grinding sound

    Hi I ran over a rock, doing some damage to my exhaust system and putting a dent in the floor of my VS Calais. Now, especially whenever I turn hard left, and I put the power down, I get a terrible groaning grinding sound coming from the rear left wheel. Could this be due to the differential...

    How?

    Hi How do you get the cable from the battery to the interior of the car? I have a VS Calais and I cant see a hole in the firewall to run such a cable! Also do you know how I would get into the ignition circuitry to wire a remote cable? My first thought would be to get behind the headunit, I...

    How To Do A Burnout

    burnouts i think that its worth considering how much your 215 tyres cost to replace, and the rising cost of fuel before you turkeys try any of the above. However for cost saving measures, i find doing this kind of fun. Just unweight the inside tyre by goin round a corner real fast -plant your...

Mines ok but the leathers real discoloured and worn, and u cant replace that hand stitching and those wood bits would just be way too cool. Does anyone know where to get aftermarket Calais steering wheels for...

    Spotted - a VZ Calais on the road today

    vz calais yeah? but do you think they are worth the hype? yes, smaller v6 engine and higher output than the old V8s.... surely this means higher stress and shorter lifespan?
