    VE V8 with FACTORY LPG ?

    Hi all, Wanting to buy a VE V8 (possibly with AFM) but must be running on (preferably factory installed) LPG. I know Holden did factory V6 LPG installations, did they do factory V8 installations for VE's (ie. could you tick a box at the dealer and buy a new VE V8 with LPG)? Don't bother...

    WTB: LH fog light for VP SS / VR-VS Statesman-Caprice

    No worries, thanks for the pics, yeah, bugger about the quality. Can you tell me, in the first photo, is there the word TOP on the top centre of the glass? It looks like the reflector part is on the RH side of the light, it would be the RH light (in Stealthy's pics the reflector part is...

    WTB: LH fog light for VP SS / VR-VS Statesman-Caprice

    Yep, I'm with ya, my bad :embarrass What got me was that I know the beam of light throws outwards, but I thought it was the position of the globe, not the inner reflector :rolleyes: PM sent

    Thanks mate, yeah I've seen those ones on ebay too, I want to keep it all original with the "5000 injection" and the mighty Lion ... ;) Would the fibreglass be OK under there, high temperatures with the bonnet closed? :confused:

    [VIC] WTB: Engine covers for VT V8 5.0L

    I'm after a set of the 3 covers from the Aussie block, not the LS1. These are the covers that slot into each other forming a U across the top of the engine, unlike the VN-VS ones which are 3 separate square pieces. Thanks, :thumbsup:

    Yes, it was intentional ;) It's called divergent spelling, but that's OK you weren't to know, it's just a lot simpler to reply with comments like this. And people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones :whistling

    Er, no, it's only you that wouldn't purchase anything off me because my views are not the same as yours. I hope more members here don't disagree with you, as we wouldn't want to all be morons now, would we? :rolleyes: Let's agree to disagree and leave it at that.

    FOR SALE: VR/VS V8 radiator NEW ORIGINAL GENUINE

    I'm not trying to dupe anyone here. If you want to use parts of questionable quality and origin, go right ahead - you're entitled to use whatever parts you want on your car, heck if you can make a Furd part fit, why not use that instead as it's cheaper than the Holden equivalent. I feel...

    There are quite a few of us that actually do take pride in the fact that we don't compromise the originality and quality of our cars by substituting genuine parts with second rate aftermarket parts. As you're already aware, the radiator is one of the important components in the car and you...

    C'mon mate, fair is fair, you and I both know that your offer was WAY off the mark. To put you in perspective, give your local Holden spare parts joint a call tomorrow and get a quote from them, that part number again is 92056254. Did you look at the photos? This radiator is real McCoy...

    I've been umming and ahhing for quite some time now about which way to go with this and I certainly don't want to go with the 'old skool' donut method ... I've come real close to getting the vapour injection installed, but after further research, I think I'll be going with the liquid...

    Holden Servicing rip-offs

    I would if I had the time and the tools / equipment (such as a hoist) to perform all the checks and inspections as detailed in each service schedule in the owner's manual. It's the parts over pricing and other "unecessary" charges that I'm talking about. I don't have any qualms about the...

    Holden Servicing rip-offs

    OK, so that's easy enough to fix, I'll supply the new 5 litre bottle of Holden oil as well as another empty one just in case and they can put the old oil in those and give it back to me. If we all do that, then the service dept. won't have to call anyone to get rid of the old oil for them...

    Holden Servicing rip-offs

    OK, let's say that I can buy at trade price. Increasing the hassle ? what do you mean by that ? If any service dept. thinks I'm an idiot for supplying my own genuine parts so I don't get overcharged for the same thing, I don't care and best of luck to them. Doesn't that contradict what...

    Holden Servicing rip-offs

    I know what you mean about buying the wrong parts (as they look the same but are different) But I know exactly what is needed ...I can just look at the previous service bills and get the part numbers off that to order exactly the right ones. It's interesting to note that Workshop Supplies and...

    Holden Servicing rip-offs
