hmmm w like the idea of cracking it open and finding cash but it feels like a hard rubber end on it and harder sides so i think i will go with Blnls1's dampener idea. never seen one before

i have recently bought a vz equipe and have found that when the aircon is on and i have it on recirculate i get a smell of fuel inside the car.
Has anyone come across this before?
dave
no plans at the moment but later down the track will go some nice rims. Its already been lowered and has had an exhaust done so has a nice sound to it. not sure what has been done as thats how I bought it .
i have just bought a vz martini mica acclaim (as the car yard called it) and finding that it is possibly an equipe that has been added options of side airbags, rear park assist but no traction control etc.
Checking vin numbers on redbook its confusing as it as 54 as part of vin which is...
just looking at that site and it looks like it is an Equipe but with the side airbags. when i was looking at buying it i loked on redbook etc and it only showed equipe's with vin 6G1ZK52B#5L######and acclaims with 6G1ZK54B#5L###### and my vin is the acclaim one. I wonder which one i have maybe...
I know its a bit of a dig but i have just bought a vz acclaimand it has no tc button or esp button i haven't tested for Tc yet but was wondering if is possible that it never had it or as said above has been disabled and hidden. it was built april 05. and was a company car.
thanks
