Thanks everyone for trying to help me. I guess i am not a good person. All those years of education for nothing. As we know, nothing gets corrupted and everything always works as it should and as the manufacture guarantees. I think it must be the wax in my ears not allowing me to comprehend what...

I'm a bit surprised that nobody has had to do this or know how to do this. I guess people just chuck these budget model stereos when there is a problem so never need to enter anything. The procedure should be in the log book for each type of stereo, but that makes to much sense.

Yeh, I may never need to enter the code but I think it would be good to know. I may never get a flat but I still carry a spare.

The price range seems high to me. I just bought a VE Omega sedan for $4700 from a dealer (they wanted $6000) but I could have got cheaper if I went private. It has 185000 km on the clock. I think you want atleast 2008 and later because of the timing chain problems. I saw lots of cars that had...

So it looks like I will probably be ok and won't have to enter the security code but I (and probably others) would still like to know the procedure for future reference. I just know, one day I will be doing something to the stereo and will be thinking there won't be any need to enter the...

As I understand it, if you cut the power to the stereo, like when you pull it out then you may need to enter the security code once it is installed again. Maybe I won't have to but if I do need to enter the code, then I would like to know the procedure as some stereo security codes need to be...

So if I pull it out and then re-connect it later, are you saying there is no chance of ever having to enter a security code ? Not even a slight chance.

Ok, I have read so many threads but can't find what I am looking for. I have a 2008 Commodore Omega with the Blaupunkt Stereo. It has the CD mechanism falure problem so I want to pull it out and take it apart and see what I can do. I have all the Security numbers etc but I can't find the...

I will give that a go then, Thanks.

My gauges look like the ones in that photo. Are those wheels expensive ? Does it fit OK ? Black would be alright but my interior is that steal blue colour. Every ones interior is in real good condition compared to mine also. Think i need some armour oil. I have used Suntan lotion in the past...

That wheel looks pretty cool. Are they expensive. If so, i might as well get a good Sports Wheel. Did it fit with no problems. Also, my Dash has a Tacho to the left and the two small gauges to the right. Would this be a later than VN version gauge cluster ?

I am not sure what i will do. Is the VS like the VR or is it a Statesman or the larger commodore from 1998. If so, wouldn't they all have AirBags ?

The original VN wheels are quite large. Atleast the Calais ones don't look as bad as the standard ones. My car came with a extra small crappy wheel. Can't read tacho etc and the grip material is coming off. I just wanted something cheap and legal to replace it with, otherwise i have to buy a...

Well that sucks. Do you have any idea what a stock wheel goes for ? I think i would go for a VP (One after VN) as VN are quite large.

My VN has this real small crappy sports wheel i want to take off. Will a steering wheel from say a VB-VK etc fit ?

Yeh, It shouldn't move, but it does. I may just have to leave it. I thought it may be missing bolts or something originally. Anyway, thanks guys.

Thanks. It is a bit hard to see what is going on under there though.

So you say it is spot welded ? The car seems to have had panels changed so it probably had damage to the front at some stage.

I think you called it the bonnet latch, how does that stay in position ?

The round bit that the bonnet pin locks into, slips under the front body panel so i push it back into position with the screw driver so it lines up with the round hole in the body and then the bonnet will close. That round bit that slips has the steal bit that slides back and forward when you...

This is only a guess but the centre terminal probably connects to left side and then when you click switch centre now connects to right side and then back again etc ???

Maybe orinoko, you just need to adjust the bonnet pin (Down ?) .

You have the front-end of the body. There is a round hole in the body frame. In that round hole there is a round (mechanism ? ) bit that i think that return spring for the cable is connected to also. Anyway it is that round mechanism bit (That the bonnet pin goes into) that moves out of...

Are you sure you don't have a blown Head Gasket ?

The bonnet catch on my VN (I mean the female part on the body) always moves out of place when i open the bonnet and i have to push it back into place with a screw driver to close the bonnet. I would think it should be held into place with bolts etc but i have taken the grille out, looked and...

I own a VN but i never liked the way they looked. I once owned a VK Brock years ago and i loved the way that looked.I think they looked great again after 1998, when that larger model came out.They just got something wrong with the VN etc shape. Some angles it works good.It may have something...

When i say hood lining , i mean the roof lining !

I keep getting **** in my eyes. Mine is from the crap coming from my hood lining. I need to re-glue it. I think it is the old glue or the backing board falling apart. You may have the same problem.

That Sucks. Maybe there into Fords ???

Just thinking what that washer hose looks like.I am pretty sure its not that.That is quite soft and flexable.

I will just have to see how my hoses go. Where are all the dumped cars these days. Not so long ago there would always be cars thrown away, good for spares, there is nothing around anymore. The VN is 20 years old, where are they ?

I do not plan owning this car in a few years. I have the Ellery VN manual. Not real good.

Also, i do not have the VN owners manual, are they online ?

I replaced the small hoses. They may even have been vacuum hose ?, but it worked. I bought a T piece at first because i couldn't find where the cannister one went but found it up the top of the fuel tank inlet, near the other two small outlets. I had trouble with the cannister small hose going...

Later,Later

The car had not been started yet the day i plugged it in, everything was still off.

Thanks. The oil pressure switch was changed before i owned the car because it was leaking oil. The guy came to the conclusion that if the plug (wires) was in it may make it leak again so left it out ??? Anyway i plugged it in but it would always leave the fuel pump on. The thing was bought new...

I would like to try and cut the Fuel Pump Wiring out from the Oil Pressure Switch if that is possible on my VN. There are three wires, does anyone know what each wire is for and/or have a wiring diagram. The car does still run with the switch unpluged. Thanks.

There is a Mod where you take the Bellmouth (i think it is called that) out from the intake, near the throttle body. Look that one up. They say it gives you more power.

I think i know what goes where now, i hope.
