Or water gets into the motor and rust seizes it to the magnets... Pull apart, clean with a nail file, WD40 it, put it back and she will work again... Takes about 20min to do... Saves you $20 to $40 buying a new one

Mine turned out to be the centre Coil of the three Pulled and replaced, no dramas since

Sweet good to know.

Yep, It was the middle ignition coil that was bung, just replaced it and she was all good.

So we checked the ignition system... I decided not to do some of the following suggested methods for obvious reasons: Spray water on the spark plug leads with engine running Pull spark plugs off the coils with engine running Pull injector leads/reattach injector leads while engine running Luke...

Spotlight for the win - buy them from there Measure the inside length of the window, Buy your slats, Then buy a "slatcutter" ($5 spotlight), Trim the slats to length, Bend them in the middle, Fit them and your done... Used the above before making things like this, You can get real...

Give Gav a call 0403 800 968 During the week as he will be at Indie with Luke... He did mine very quick!

Mine cost me $200 6 or so weeks ago...

thanks mate!

So I stuck a Multimeter on both the AFM and the sensor in the airbox, after pulling the afm lead and it didn't change the idle or running. The airbox sensor reading: 1242 ohm (disconnected), back probed with engine running I got a similar reading. AFM reading (three prongs top to bottom as...

How much are you looking for the ignition coil and module? Postal to Qld 4018

Ours went bang at the petrol station... Plastic end tank, then 10 sec later the top hose... We bought a complete radiator from All Carbitz, 67 MEadow Ave, Coopers Plains (Brisvegas) for $140 including the transmission fittings (both push in and screw on).

Thanks guys I had been thinking one or both Airflow sensors could be the issue laletly (we own a Subaru GTB - loves eating AFM's), so dunno why I hadn't thought of it before Do you mean as in the relays in the bay (by the overflow tank)?

Ok so over the weekend I replaced all the spark plugs, This seems to have alleviated the miss (audibly) at idle, when labouring/accelerating the miss/rough running is still there. So tonight I sprayed water all over the leads and this didn't really alter the idling at all and the miss was...

Use the search function mate! :thumbsup: Its the first thing I found on this site when I got my VS and it has step by step instructions. https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/how-flush-v6-cooling-system.28762

Cool cheers...

Did a code log and found 12 & 76. Code 76 - Air/Fuel ratio variation between left and right banks - so that would fit right in with the fact that the car is misfiring... So what would be the cause(s) of the misfire? I have checked the following: Leads: Ohm reading passenger bank is...

Thanks for your reply. What is the DFI module? and where is it? I have removed the coils and checked/cleaned them, couldn't see any moisture there. Is the oil pressure switch located under/near the oil filter?

So replaced the radiator after the plastic end tank went boom, Then the top radiator hose went boom, the back passenger side manifold stud is broken and letting fumes out... So cleaned the engine both times with water. Now I have the issue where the car is running real rough, When you are...

I just rebuilt mine with bog, re-drilled the hole and bob's u'r uncle...

No crease... But most of the bushes are shot...

Sorry been away. good idea to have a look :thumbsup: Will look in morning at it (I'm doing the coolant change so might as well spend the time for a quick look when I have good light) If the crease is there it obviously means it is bent right? If so, what causes something like that? Spilling...

Yea the wheel was sitting in pretty bad. His 1st thought was something was bent, checked it all, but was just very poos. I am no tyre and wheel guru so no clue. But will get the struts, bushes, etc replaced soon anyway as we dont know how many K's they have done

In Qld it is now a $150 fine (and I think demerits apply as well now...) Besides Foggies are useless when fog isn't around and on wet rainy days they just add glare...

Yep was a bad joint IMHO. Was at work today relating story to colleagues who pissed themselves laughing.. Yea I was like since when is a wheel alignment not include camber, thats the whole point of it, to align the wheel in all planes that adjustment is allowed... We went to Queensland...

So as per a previous post we had a few things to fix... Camber LH front wheel (tyre was hitting the strut on full compression) 3.60 Engine mounts O2 Sensor So Engine mounts fixed, O2 sensor fixed Rang up a few tyre places such as Qld best tyre, Bob Jane Tyre, Bridgestone, etc etc...

So car didn't even get a service - its back to dealer we bought it from first... A couple of safety issues braught up... All engine mounts are torn - causing engine to hit subframe , LH front tyre illegal - rubbing on the strut (mojo camber issues) Also a temp fluctuation - the radiator cap is...

Welding shop for a cheap good quality wire (something destined for a Mig or similar)

I'm taking our VS for a full service on Thursday. A few things they (UltraTune) will look at: They are going to do a AFR check/test - I am sure the O2 sensors are "up the duff" x2 as she is running rich and can smell petrol when starting... Check the Thermostat - as temp swings between cold and...

Sweet. Whats the quality and workmanship like? Will wait for pics

Go to Bunnings/Mitre10/Local Pipe supplier/et al This is what you get from them: 1 x Gardenhose (the black stuff), 2 x packs of sprayers (those ones that spray 180 degrees) or enough for one every 1m, Enough connections for putting to tap, 1 x Pump (if you have some spare cash), this will...

I have the Monroe ones in my sedan, They are pretty hard and have the arse up by about 25mm over the front I went to the servo to use their pump to lower the pressure and had no luck as the Servo's pump wouldn't lower to 8Psi...:bang:

Hide it all with black Stealth is tops

Thanks for the replies. I like that idea^^^ I have been thinking about using a statesman/caprise pump and wiring that in as per above post... Or just finding any pump really to do that. Thanks guys.

Sweet, whats the best pressure for empty boot (i.e. driver only)

Cool thanks for the replies guys I had found the valve in the boot, but was wondering what to use to adjust them. Where can I get info on the pressures to alter them to? ephect is their a aftermarket pump or can someone post direct me to a pic of one? thank you

Hi My VS is fitted with Monroe Gas shocks - adjustable height - apparently for towing. It has a label that states: Both the shock and the label is blue I did a search on the forum as well as google, and all I can find is this: Holden VP VR VS VT VX IRS Sedan Rear Air Adj. Shocks -...
