Is the fuse in the bottom fuse panel with all the others? I played with some fuses the other day in an attempt to fix my power socket which stopped working (to no avail) I replaced some that were cheap looking, but none were blown. I might have to make sure I haven't played the sunroof fuse with...

Hey guys, All of a sudden (and thankfully whilst it's closed) my sunroof has decided to stop working. I don't think it's the control unit itself as it also controls the interior lights and those buttons work fine. It's only the sunroof controls which fail to respond (the arrows and memory...

I had a V6 VT prior to this and it never happened. Unless it's a V8 commodore thing. I'm not even sure if they would share the same tailshaft etc I'm more curious than anything. Thanks for the reply!

Hey guys, Had this VY SS about three weeks now. I've noticed though at very low speeds and we're talking when you're at a crawl, not even touching the pedal, I feel a clunk from the rear end. It only happens from stop, and about 3-5 seconds after the car starts rolling and it'll only happen...

TheDmac submitted a new Showcase Item: 2002 VY SS Read more about this showcase item here...

Thanks guys. I was just wondering if service receipts would properly count as history and I don't want to harm this cars resale value. Looks like I'll keep the receipts from this point on. And @VS 5.0 that's some impressive history right there!

Hey guys, So my VY is due for a service and I just noticed the last service it had took the last page of the Holden log book. I've been to Holden and you can get a new book, but it goes by kilometers starting from 0-200,000 again. I've tried autobarn and supercheap and neither have blank...

Hey guys, First time LS1 owner here. Noticed my PS fluid is a little low. Just passed a roady so I doubt it's leaking but I want to top it up regardless. I have tonnes of Castrol ATF DEX III fluid in my shed because one my ecotec's had a leaky pump so I was going to top her up with that...

Is that the out of place rectangle shape sort of thing directly in the center?

I would like to add for who ever finds this thread via Google or what ever, just attempt what the lock smith did. Repeatedly press unlock within close proximity to the vehicle. Perhaps they can glitch or something? I'm not sure. I've been driving all day so I've been unlocking and locking my...

Okay so locksmith has been and gone. Still no real closure as to why or how this happened but we're in and the car is locking and unlocking fine and I got a new keyhead coded for good measure. All the locksmith did was repeatedly press the unlock button about 10 times he said. Which trust me, I...

Update 1: Locksmith is coming out and the dude on the phone suspects it to be the battery as some people suggested. They'll provide enough power for the locks to function. He went on to say the locks require power even when using the manual lock in the door. We'll see what happens I guess

It probably is a knackered barrel but I've never noticed until now that my central locking isn't working. I suspect it's 2 issues

Yesterday I get to my car after work to find the key isn't working via remote. I figure I'll get someone to bring my spare down. Same deal. I try the keys in the door. They just spin (clockwise) but do click so it's not spinning freely as if the entire door lock is screwed. Either way the door...

Cheers guys. It's due for a service soon anyway so I'll get it checked out but I might do an oil change before then just to get me by.

Hey guys! So I noticed I had a slow oil leak. You can't tell by looking in the engine bay, all looks clean there. It's not until you look under the car you can see oil on one of the engine mounts. Just wondering if anybody has a rough idea as to where the leak would be if it's dripping onto...

Fuel pump isn't old. < 1 year old. I'll check the relay although I did check them recently. Throttle body has also been cleaned pretty recently (I thought that was it at first). I just find it really odd that it happens only on a hot day if the cars sitting in the sun. It's like what ever is...

An odd issue I've had for a while now... on a warm day (anything above 30 degrees) my 1999 VT V6 Commodore doesn't like to start! It'll crank, start for a second, but then cut out. The only sure fire way to keep it going is hold it at around 2,000 RPM for 5-10 seconds then it's fine. It never...

I said it earlier, I'm not (intentionally) over filling it haha. I stop when it clicks so it's not user error. I'll see how the temporary cap goes but i'll grab a new one anyways.

I do stop when it clicks. I don't try to keep filling haha. idk how it overfills to be honest with you (if that is what's whats happening)

Alright so I've cleaned the compartment (to get a better understanding of where it's coming from) All looks good. I think I'll take 'Commo Baba's suggestion and not fill it right to the very top haha. Also have a temporary spare cap on there to see if helps. Although it only happens when I fill...

It seemed fine but I'll give it another look soon. Was planning on cleaning the **** from inside the fuel cap compartment area anyway.

I'm not sure how this is exactly happening but I've noticed I'm starting to get a little fuel down the side of my car after I fill up to the top. I'm not spilling any and I'm pretty certain the cap is on correctly (I hear it click a few times) I've been driving this VT for about 3-4 years so...

ITEM: I'm after VT Berlina door trim inserts (only the fabric inserts, don't need the whole door trim!) in this matching pattern (see photo at bottom of post) LOCATION: Casey area, VIC CONDITION: Used PRICE: $20 - $30 or so CONTACT DETAILS: Please PM me or reply here. PICTURES:

I bought some seats for 20 bucks the other day which was alright but the only downside is they didn't come with the door trim patterns. As a result I've been trying to track some down but to no avail. The person said they are out of a VT Calais Series 1 but to my knowledge Holden uses some seat...

They are professionals. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt for now. EDIT: Fixed

Well that sucks. If the people who install it don't get back to me I might have to come up with a temporary solution to hold the wires in place better. Being wires I wasn't sure what to use. Hopefully they're able to sort it for me though.

I had power windows installed in my car on Tuesday. They work fine. All well and good there. But they've either forgotten, or broken (not sure if it's one piece) a piece of the rubber wire boot. At first I was concerned as I thought water may damage wires. Asked the installer and a few other...

Yeah could be anything which is why I've left it at my mechanics for the night. Impossible to tell without putting it on a hoist. Just thought I could get some sort of clue as to what it may be. Common answers so far have been link pins (you) or strut towers or strut top bushes

Sorry for the extremely vague description but here we go haha. I pulled into my drive way earlier today and heard a clunk sort of noise from under the car. First reaction was I ran over something. Checked and nothing there. I go to drive off later on and as I drive I hear a clunk sound. Sound...

I was just going to go Bunnings and get a hose clamp :)

Sorted. A hose had come loose. I have included a photo for future reference.

I'll get that checked, cheers. Popped the bonnet and revved the engine a bit, you clearly hear a quick hiss from somewhere within the engine bay every time you rev the car.

So I started the car before and when ever the cars on but idle, the car feels like its slightly revving itself non stop, just kept doing it as I'm parked. When ever I apply the accelerator I hear a slight whistle or hiss from the engine bay. Cars also reaching 3 grand or so when going from 1st...

Hi guys, Simple question. I've got a VT Acclaim Series II and was wondering if it had an alarm. To my understanding (could be wrong) all VT's came with an immobilizer and deadlock (which I obviously have) but not an alarm, where as VX came standard with an alarm in all models. I've been told...
