Update for those interested... Purchased Aerpro AP250 Mast & Rope which was the correct one for my 2002 VY Commordore Ute. Installed it as per some other helpful posts here at 'just commodores'. Turned out that the internal nylon 'worm drive' gear was worn which resulted in the antenna not...

Thank you very much Trevor, I'll go and grab one.

They do stock them as I have purchased one before, hence why I want to get another one!

Thanks. Came across these during my weekend of research, however I'm after the correct AERPRO part number. Appreciate your time.

Greeting fellow Commodore Owners! I'm having to replace my Radio Antenna 'Mast & Rope' on my 2002 VY Commodore Ute. I've replaced it before, some years ago, and are having trouble finding the correct AERPRO part number which is what I used last time. After much searching on the web last weekend...

Great thread, just need to go and buy a new set of radio control buttons and a new set of the steering wheel spokes as the paint is wearing off mine. I have one question though, is there a 'master spline' on the steering wheel so that it goes back on in the exact same place?

It would appear that the problem has now been fixed thanks to the guys at VP Auto Care in Tullamarine,Melbourne. After having the car for three days the boys isolated the problem down to a faulty TPS sensor which they had to replace twice! The first sensor did fix the high revving problem but...

Thankyou H0LD3N for your comments. I've rung the mechanic today and have reported my experience with the car. The car is going back to them for a few days this time so that they can do further testing. I like you are thinking it is a sensor of some sort or the engines computer BUT the engine...

Dear Doctor Bob. Here’s one of those annoying problems that we face time to time with owning a car! The car in question is a 2002 VY Commodore S Pack Ute, dual fuel, 5 speed manual. It’s recently had an 180,000km service. The gas system (which is non Holden standard) has also been...

Here we go again! The wife has just dragged me out of bed to hear for the first time the car revving ta 2500rpm and not 3000rpm as first stated. I popped the bonnet and checked the throttle cable and the cruise control cable, both were slack and under no tension. Electrically I wiggled...

strgas PM sent. Cheers mate : )

OK, appreciate that. I'm going to PM you strgas to see whether your able to give us some further assistance. Many thanx for your time in answering my questions. If anyone else has had this problem then I sure would like to hear from you, please!!!

Oh great, the wife will be real happy then! Do you think the problem could be computer related?

OK, the wife has just texted me with news that the car is playing up again! Seems to only do it when she's driving it cos I cant get it to do it! Now the car is running on Petrol this time so we can now confirm that it does it on both fuel sources, LPG and Petrol. When the car played up...

I too thought it may be the Throttle Position Sensor or the Idle Air Control valve. The IAC valve was replaced back in May this year after I pulled it apart to clean and was unable to put it back together! That excercise cost me around $75! As far as the TPS sensor is concerned I've been...

You'll have to excuse me strgas as I have to sign off now, I have a 4am start tomorrow with work. Please let me know what you think could be causing this problem as I'm keen to fix it asap. I'll sign back on tomorrow night to check the progress of this forum. Cheers : )

The company that fitted the system are called LPG Coversions in Freight Rd Tullamarine, Melbourne.

Thanx for your speedy response strgas! I'm not sure exactly what gas system the car has, maybe you can tell me what sort of systems are out there in an effort to tell you which one we have? In relation to the Spark Plugs the car is fitted with NGK BP6EFS-13 which has a 1.3mm gap. In...

Here’s one of those annoying problems that we all face time to time with owning a car! The car in question is a 2002 VY Commodore S Pack Ute, dual fuel, 5 speed manual. It’s recently had an 180,000km service. The gas system (which is non Holden standard) has also been serviced a few months...

OK, had new starter motor fitted today, at this stage it has stopped the 'squel' - Thank God! Now for the next problem... Whilst having the LPG service done I had the o2 sensors replaced given that the car had done 170,000km without them being replaced, seemed a good idea at the time...

Thanks Tiger28 for your comments. Had the car looked at today by a mechanic (NOT from Holden!) as the gas system hadn't been serviced for over twelve months. Turns out that after the LPG service was carried out the car continued to 'squel' on start up which according to the mechanic is...

Thanks PaulSV6 for your comments. As stated in my post I took the belt completly off the engine and it still squels so it can't be the belt or any 'tensioner' issues. But 'yes' once the belt is fitted to the engine the belt tensioner is at the correct tension by the belt tensioner...

Hiya Folks, I'm a 'newie' to this forum but I needed to post this question somewhere as I'm getting mixed responses on what the problem could be, here goes... My wife drives a Dual Fuel 2002 VY S-Pac Ute, 3.8L Ecotec V6 5 Speed Manual. It's been a great car for her and now 'us'. Just...
