4 wire - approx. half way along passenger door just in front of cat. converter

Thanks for letting us know it all worked out ok.

Replaced mine a couple of weeks ago in my VR and it was 4 wire - mine only had one where i believe ecotec has 2 sensors? Mine definitely 4 wire in VR '94 model

Try this hope this helps

sorry to bother you but I really want to change my struts tomorrow and I do not know which mounts to use - I have posted a question about this but it doesn't help. I know from previous posts that you are impressed with nolathane and need your input for me fitting nolathane strut mounts with...

thanks - where abouts are you situated might try your dealer? I tried Eagers Holden Brisbane this morning, must say have always had good help from them but today the bloke couldn't care less as also asked about other items eg plenum cover over wiper motor and was told "Don't have it in stock" -...

Good work - keep the progress reports coming. Can't wait to see the end result!

Brett, do you have the part number of the purge solenoid? Rang Holden today and they told me it is no longer available? Thanks

meant passenger side no longer available - checked with Holden.

Hi guys, changing my front struts and have bought a set of nolathane strut mounts but upon doing some research found these will be as hard as a rock for city driving. so now bought a set of boge strut mounts instead. Need some advice on what is better suited for city driving - also have a right...

Thanks nathanwright, I'd read somewhere a while ago that it could be rear upper control arms - you replaced the uppers or lowers?

Thanks Hako, very informative as usual. I wasn't aware of the europe connection.

definitely from the rear - has new shocks and springs, new panhard bushes. Could possibly be the centre bearing but I thought it would do it constantly even at highway speed if it was the centre bearing, but it doesn't.

Hi guys, any ideas on a shudder on take off - V6 auto standard BT1. I don't take off hard from a stop but the easier I take off the less the shudder but doesn't do it through the gear changes. Could it be worn upper control arms? just guessing here as it is not constant, only on take off...

Also depends on heads if they have been decked or not, valve springs etc.

Just be aware - I know you took the photo just to show us where the problem is - that the washers are upside down.

The extra light that sits on top of the cluster not in the cluster and shines through the oval cutout in the top of the cluster.

Mystery solved - engine has to be running for the light to come on, not just the ignition on. Thanks for the input guys.

Thanks all - don't think I had the ignition on when checking, just turned the lights on. will check tomorrow.

Hi all, anyone got any ideas on why the light that sits on top of instrument cluster in my BT1 is dead. Have replaced the globe with a new one and also tried another new globe again in case it was faulty. Have cleaned the terminals on the back of the cluster where pos and neg wires bolt up but...

Hi, you'll find the rotor is rusted to the sealed wheel bearing housing - you need to bash the living hell out of it if it is.

diagrams If anyone wants these sent to them via email to print - just contact me. Also have the page above the second image which tells how to remove but that is fairly well covered on the forum.

Hi all, does anyone know what glue/ adhesive is used on the foam bonnet thingies to attach them to the guard rails?

huh? speedo o-ring leaks green coolant?

yes, it is probably coming from the rear of the temperature, fan speed panel panel - there are threads on here about removing it. If you hear it inside the cabin, it will be inside the cabin.

It is the vacuum valve for your heater tap inside the engine bay - check the connections are actually connected, they just slip on. My vr has two on the black valve - one vacuum in and one vacuum out.

Is your speedo graduated in 5 or 2 km increments? If it is in 2km increments it is an ex police unit and has a globe above the actual cluster - look above the speedo and you will see an oval hole. The cluster needs to be removed either way. The odometer is a cheap $7.50 fix for the gear if you...

Just curious, did this include the heavy duty link pins? or just the bushes?

Brett, a quick question - did yours also idle high at times for a few seconds also wther hot or cold, mines a random high idle and was wondering if this could also be because of the purge solenoid? thanks

have you checked the vacuum hose to the heater tap? The end of mine perished and I presume it was due to heat from the tap - cut half an inch off the end and re-fitted and all good.

lol brett - cheaper than a new belt - NOT. seriously if u want the sound of a s/c then buy one but make sure your engine is not too worn to handle it. On the other side, don't try to make your car something it isn't ie. race car. New belt and pulleys sound fabulous but be honest. My opinion only...

totally agree with kingo, put a towel, paper etc under front of vehicle first to eliminate the obvious but from experience it will be the block back as above also look for drips on tie rod end shafts amazing what the rubber boots hold in their ridges

and if it does kick your mechanic up the ar*e and if it doesn't ask him what they check at servicing besides the usual, as this in built diagnostics makes fault finding fairly straight forward.

No. no other problems, just doing a plug change. It's a reco'd engine with less than 10,000 km's on it but I haven't touched anything since it was reco'd 6 years ago so decided to do a bit of maintenance.

basically your tranny is stuffed - if you need to add an additive you are just delaying the inevitable. sorry for the bad news.

Thanks, most appreciated.

by others - do you mean the get them to replace the platinum plugs? also the way they are set up? wot do u mean?

exactly what I said

yeah sorry bandit - didn't realise (or look) it was a V8.

Hi Brett, where is the purge solenoid located? and where do I buy one? Thanks Tony
