I hope not, I'm prety sure it would have been doing it before the PS pump but the old one was so s*** i just couldnt feel there was actually something wrong

Mate, Did you ever find out what your issue was? I've got a VU and it's lowered on Ultras, Camber kit front and rear, I replaced the power steering pump not long ago and the day i did that the car just felt strange when turning, as you said, It's as if when you're turning someone gives the wheel...

And after a full day of having just the parkers and halos on, they're still on. I still don't suggest doing it unless you know what you are doing. A resister on the circuit would probably suffice according to some guys at work, we're electronics technicians

The Angel eye used is lower voltage than a 12V circuit, very bad idea to short out the led globe it starts spewing out smoke after not long... In saying that, that is what got mine working with a LED globe... Please don't try this, i think the reason mine works is pure dumb luck, Angel eye wasnt...

It's not because it draws less current or has less resistance on the circuit, The reason your cruise control turns off is because turning your tail lights on uses the same LED diodes as if you were pressing the brake. Just delivers less power to them, but it sends that same feedback on the...

Got myself a vu a couple of months back, the engine fan has stopped working... Symptoms, 1 connecting negative wires to battery makes it run. 2 removing connector to temp sensor makes it run, check engine light turns on. 3 the flat connector that I know is on earlier models ( not sure...

Where can I get some of these head studs and intake manifold bolts and rocker cover bolts on very short notice in Newcastle???

How easy is it to do the rear bearings in one?

Wasn't the brakes :( Mechanic is replacing the left CV first thing wednesday morning (i snapped all my allen keys on it)... Hope thats it or i've just wasted $260 thats including his labour cost... Is it a good idea to do both at the same time if that's the problem?? I've had a look around the...

I'm having an almost identical problem, though mine seems worse... sometimes it happens sometimes not.. usually on a left turn and seems like it's coming from the left. I'm getting my left CV shaft replaced on wednesday morning, thats what i think it is and i've snapped all my right sized allen...

Yes handbrake was released, and I took it out of park with choks infront of the front wheels

My mechanic told me this morning that with a LSD the wheels will be extremely difficult to turn with one on the ground (my bad for not explaining better) it would seem that it is the brake, I went for a drive with no pads in the rear left caliper and the brake line blocked and disconnected from...

I've never owned an auto before either, it's got to have a convert soon

Bought a vuII ute on Friday, it was going well until today, it's developed a clunking noise that gets more frequent as I get faster, eventually ceasing as I reach about 60. I think it's the rear left brake disc being warped because when I spin the wheel while the car is jacked up it definitely...

I know this has been gone over dozens of times and I've read through all the threads I could find, so I apologise in advance if someone has answered my questions before. I'm looking into buying a VT - VX BUT finding one in a manual is proving hard to do. So.. if I were to buy an auto could I...

Fuses are fine Brushes are fine Battery... not sure (need to get a multimeter) Alternator is good had it checked not long ago When i had a stereo there was a whiny noise that increased with engine revs took the stereo out to test it and broke it so i can't check that I've looked everywhere i...

Took a reasonably long drive last weekend, on the way back my fuel gauge and my temp gauge slowly descended to zero and my battery light came on all at once, this has happened before but all it took was an engine restart to remedy it, I'm afraid this time it may be more permanent. Has anyone...

Hi everyone... As the title suggests, i snapped a clutch fork :( Took me 2 days to find a new one... Hytech parts ftw! No one else in Newcastle has them... No one makes them... One place in Sydney with ONE so far... Anyway! How would i go about removing and refitting without pulling any major...

My tensioner bearings got stuck and the whole thing literally melted on the pacific highway just north of Urunga, a couple in a VT pulled up to help, funnily enough they had exactly the same happen the day before in QLD, $25 for the tensioner, Metal one this time (not original plastic) $75 for...

Hmmm sounds like not much fun... i'll have a quick look around today thing is i finish work at 2... latest wreckers here closes at 1:30

Got a bit of a weird one here, it's been going on for a while and i paid no attention to it until yesterday. i was driving to the shop for some smokes and noticed that every time i let off the throttle the speedo would jump 30-40 kms above what i was doing, it'd be fine as long as i was on the...

Right, putting a surge tank in my VP, wondering about lift pumps. Do i have to get a LP high flow one... or am i right just to use the standard intank one? as long as i have a return to the fuel tank... also, am i right to put the sender lines in paralell? or will that starve the second pump at...

Hey, I'm not actually getting a reading at all from the DTE, also my speed alert light comes on at about oh idk, 0km/h no beep though just the warning, would that contribute to the problem?

I've already searched the forum for the Keyword ABS and there were no results How would i go about getting ABS for my VP??? And then putting it in...??? Any help at all would be much appreciated

guess what!!! i couldn't take the idea that something was wrong so i went to the garage armed with a can of WD40 and my girlfriends hair dryier..... as soon as the hot air touched the il pressure switch... water started spyrting out of where the pins poke through... just got some paper towel...

Replaced the intake manifold gasket... was running beautifully for about 10 minutes, then the oil pressure switch came back on :bang: apparently it could be wet.... i'll look in the morning... couldn't be bothered right now i've just spent all day on it to have it stuff up again... not...

i have oil bubbles in the coolant... but not milky.... pretty sure milky oil is the diagnosis for a really bad head gasket.... Leads are in the right order... lol!! i'm not that bad :D i'll have a look at the Coils and EFI** pretty sure the Fuel injection is fine though... could be a gummed up...

Still no idea whats happening, by the look of some posts on another site it could be a head gasket... anyone got some pointers, i've been meaning to do all the gaskets for a while and this seems like a really good time to get stuck into it

I only just replaced the leads they're brand spankers... i know i have a problem with the spark in cylinder 1, checked it not long ago with a timing gun... but it wasn't this bad, it wasnt like it was missing or anything, just not sparking evenly

sparkies are fine, looks like there could have been oil splatters coming out the exhaust

Okay, got a new V6 Buick engine like 6 months ago and the it went fine for a good long while nothing went wrong with the actual engine On thursday morning i degreased and sprayed the engine down (didn't drive) Friday morning i had to leave newcastle to get to wollongong, so i left drove...

Shocks? i have a knock at the left front, over any bump no matter how small, then pulled up and down on the left side (nothing) grabbed the top of the wheel while it wasn't jacked up and moved it side to side (knock knock knock) sounds like it's actually coming from the shocky say if it's...

I bought my VP Commodore 7 months ago, It had had a "complete service" so i didn't think to check up on it, i replaced the oil and it blew smoke, turns out it hadn't had an oil change in about 4 years, replaced the engine, now i've just found out that they hadn't replaced the gear oil with gear...

Mine had 362544 on the clock, then i changed the cluster to a calias level 3 which had 235569 now has 240560 Only major problem was that the previous owners hadn't changed the oil in about 3 years, when i did it found all the cracks in the pistons rings and blew smoke constantly so i changed...

2:21AM haven't started her yet, the new exhaust system'll wake the neighbours... and the family, but already sounds promising, when you turn the key and it beeps at you to say press remote... doesn't do the drony half beep full beep half beep full beep it's clear single beeps on...

also would really like to know what you're looking at, what book do you have?

That is some very interesting news green, i will try that one now... even though it's almost 2AM

suppose not everything is going good

Hi it's been a while, but everything going good now, turns out the guy who sold me the cluster had 2 pulled apart and didn't check whether he had the right window strips in, but guess what? i have a more pressing problem... i turn the car on, press my remote, everythings good... start the car...

hmm... old thread but i got a new cluster with it already done... can't see the needles at all have to be in an area lit with street lights to know how fast you're going, it sucked when traveling from coffs harbour to newcastle at 9pm and i didn't know it'd be like that til that time when i...
