Be very carefull lish, in WA your compulsory third party expires immediately your rego is up, if you have an accident and someone gets hurt your ass is grass. Insurance Co's frown upon this practice.

I found with my calais that the garnish actually leaked between the sections that are plastic welded together (red reflector type garnish with the lights incorporated). I ran a small bead of clear silicone over the sections and pressed it between the sections with my finger, worked a treat.

driveline possibility's are stuffed centre bearing in the tailshaft or it's uni joints, stuffed cv joint or universal joint on an axle, diff could be in need of bearings/overhaul possibly a pinion bearing.

It also has a climate control sensor in the...

I have a VX Calais and the external probe on mine is behind the bumper on the right hand side,just in front of the air con condenser

I had a similar problem with the calais where the seam where they join the boot garnish together and the rubber seal was not sealed properly and water would run between two sections and into the park/stop light. When the bootlid was opened water would run out of the corner of the bootlid. I ran...

check out the just commodores online shop, they have the correction kits available in there and you will be supporting a site sponsor. Help them to help us..

Did you by any chance wash your engine or run through a pile of water??? Condensation can hang around in the engine bay on the ABS unit and cause the problems you describe. Try spraying the ABS unit with WD40 or similar.

Thanks for the replies guys, As i said I am looking for ideas and am currently thinking of possibly some fusion speakers,(good reputation and not badly priced.) Thinking maybe 6.5" splits in front doors/dash, 6.5" coaxials in rear doors and replacing the rear parcel shelf subs with 8" or 10"...

The joys of ABS..... pulsing is usually the ABS sensing the load on your brakes, the harder you push the more you feel the pulsing...takes some getting used to

I had the same problem when I first bought my Calais. I turn on the ignition, page through the screens using the mode button until the trip meter/fuel used/litres per km window comes up, (windows after the odometer) and then press the up/down arrows at the same time. I found it only needs a...
