    Ripshift?

    I have a gm ripshifter in my vz ss much better than the stock one. I would suggest it even though they are overpriced. Its a little bit weird at the start but once you get used to it you never miss third gear again. And the adjustable stoppers work good for smashing gears but not hurting the...

    Vx senator rear windscreen

    one is an aerial booster and the other two are demisters. I think from memory the Calais and up models have the aerial if they haven't been replaced before or just go to a good windscreen shop they should know what you are talking about

    The cowl panel is not seating flush with the windscreen

    Is the car brand new or second hand? If its second hand id be willing to bet its had a windscreen in it before and the fitter hasn't put enough glue on the bottom to make the screen sit at the right height or he has taken the cowl panel off and broken it.

    Vz binnacle install clarification

    You have to pull the dash cluster out and solder the wires from the binnacle gauges to the ones that go to the plug for the dash cluster. Thats how i did mine and they fit alrite they could be better i thought.

    blocked cat?

    One of my cats collapsed and blocked completely on my vz and the result was no rings left in the motor, so i would check that out for sure if i were you before you bolt it on.

    gearbox not shifting

    Sounds like the tps should put a code up but the only way to tell is by putting a new one in they are expensive try using a mates one first. Ebay ones arent very good either.

    LS1 Oil Pressure problem - VX SS

    Oil pressure sensor for sure I reckon. If theres no other problems or abnormal noises Id try that first. When I changed mine just bought a 26mm socket I think it was and just ground the wall of it down till it was a fair bit thinner. It wasnt very tight so the socket didnt need to be strong or...

    Rip shift

    Because they are so much better shifting than the stock one. I have the race version and it is a bit noisy but you get used to it. It is hard to explain you have to use one to find out for your self. Mine sits a bit higher than stock if any thing. The shifts are way firmer than the original though.

    The pin on the bonnet may also have a groove in it try grinding it out or getting a new one may help. Also when the bonnet is popped pull the lever and make sure the spring where the pin goes in cleares the hole completely

    Just wondering what is a reasonable price for me to pay for this moderate damage job:

    If the centre pillar is not pushed in do it ur self. Its not extremely hard just research how to take it apart ect. Get the right tools. Reckon you will need ratchet and sockets, screw driver, drill and drill bit to drill rivets out of the window regulators, pop rivets and rivet gun, anti theft...
