I would do a check first - I also had to cut and re-wire my Aerpro harness after I noticed the stereo lost all settings. It didn't have the constant voltage. cant remember what colour wire it was - refer to you install diag. It is easy enough, just get in and do it!

Hi Guys – Wanring- There are many photos. Here is a how-to for changing the Centre Console + Window switches lights from the ugly GREEN to a bright RED in my VY SS sedan. I did this because one of the green LEDS stopped working and was going to cost about $100 to replace the unit. NO way...

OK Thanks. I will keep looking...

Hi Guys I am seriously considering getting my SS some 18 inch Hipnotic C-notes. I can get a great deal on a set that have a PCD 114.3. I do not fully understand this. Does this mean they will not fit the vY??? Thanks

FYI - I dug out the old Ford Part# for the speedo gear - It is XE 17271 E ($12.00). Hope that helps..

I paid $2500 for my T5 manual box. (5 years ago) with a harness. Put in myself so that bit cost $0. (ok maybe a carton of beer for my mates who helped watch!!)

hey abscent - Make live easy, get a complete VL Calais or Berlina rear disc brake diff/axle assesmbly (I got mine from a place that specialise in Toowoomba). Unbolt the old drums, bolt in the new discs. (4 bolts from memory). Be smart, and upgrade the booster and master too - don't skimp on...

I had to go and see FORD - to get a gear for inside the T5 (same as AU model) so that the speedo cable spins corectly - I honestly can't remember the colour it was either Pink or Brown. Holden do not sell this part. I had to unscrew the speedo from the T5, and the gear bit goes into the T5. Hope...

I did this with my VL - Ripped the rb30 out, dumped the VN 5L in. It is a great mod but there a lot of issues. You will need a new wiring harness for the motor (engine bay). See Castlemain Auto as they have all the conversion kits needed. I had to buy 2 of them. In the VL the battery also...

The Pioneer unit is great and the 50w is loud (compared to my old 35w that is in the VL). However - I am not yet liking the smaller dial called "Rotary Commander" - it is sort a like those "old nipples" mice on the laptops, takes a bit of getting used to! If I had the chance again I would not go...

Hi guys, Just thought that I would add a few pictures and info on how I did my stereo upgrade. I have a VY SSII (manual). I have done extensive research on this forum and this is my summary of how to do this. Firstyl I purchased a double DIN with single stereo facia from ASTsales (online)...

Reggie - "the auto computer will work fine for the manual. TRUST ME." I am no expert - but I HAVE put a VN 5L into my VL AND converted it to a manual (T5). You will need to change the computer - the auto causes it to miss fire a bit and run ruff. Holden also have seperate ID codes for these...

Hey Greenfoam, I have regularly replaced air/fuel filters. This mild roo-hop happens only when cruising, not idling. It got really bad, then was fine for 6 months and has just slightly started again - not too bad though. I treat it with injector cleaner often too, it has been pressure tested...

Hi guys, I have a VL and have put in the VN 5L last year. It has been great to drive but lately when "cruising" it seems to miss a beat and starts to roo hop. I have already replace the ignition module and distributor, rotor, all leads, belts and hoses. So far it is a stock V8. The local...

I had a 6-cylinder VL that was running rich all the time - on a 4 hour weekend trip it started to run liek carp again, so dropped into the nearest ultratune (Rockhampton) They just checked the leads, replaced the spark plugs retuned the car with 5 lead attached!:bang: I was real impressed and...

I changed my VL 6 to an a VN V8 manual. It was easy and done in 8 months but the wiring was a little tricky - patience is needed. Ring Barsby's in Maryborough QLD - I got ALL I need thru them - motor, box, harness, tailshaft, steering rack - the newly recon T5 box cost me $2000. Be patient and...

Hey, I was wondering how much a T5 Clutch cable is? Do you also have a pict showing where to install it as my last one melted! It is a VN 5l in a VL. Ta Neo

Just wondering, when re-wiring the engine bay for a VN V8, are there any wires that CAN NOT be cut or shortened??? Ideas, hints or tips appreciated. Thanx, Neo

Hey, I have VN V8 in my VL and have noticed everything is tight. Does your startermoter idea work with the manual T5? Any other space saving ideas? The pacemakers are really tight especially to the floor pan. I might borrow your ideas. Thanx Neo
