The pump is correct, you had to use spacers as you are not running the bigarse a/c bracket!

Your rear main oil leaking issue could be just a symptom of excess crankcase pressure, caused by a faulty PCV system. if I were you I would check to see if the small port in the throttle body that connects to the PCV valve and passenger side rocker cover is not gummed-up and blocked. I have seen...

I found out the hard way, doing a wedding for a friend and getting a big 'V' scratched into the bonnet from the ribbon! Any ribbon will scratch, especially flapping against the bonnet after a bit of dust and at highway speeds. The solution is to keep the ribbon completely off the bonnet using...

Mate that is a Jacar/Dick Smith programmable remote, about $40.00 worth. You just use your old remote (if you can get it to work) and follow the instructions included. Well worth it!

Exactly, especially the fitting into the throttle body, make sure that isn't blocked.

Hi all Just a thought, if the vehicle had personalized plates the transfer of Reg. Is different as well, especially if the seller wants to keep his plates.

Hi afracing, do you supply the 'slip-on' spacers too? I am after 4 of 5mm thick spacers, 5 x 120mm stud pattern, 12.5mm stud holes and 69.5 hub hole diameter. Please PM me at your earliest convenience with your ability to supply and price for the 4 Spacers, including Shipping to Melbourne...

Hi darky, I have seen this before, recurring problems, same as yours, on a mates 308. I needed his panel beating skills so I promised to fix his engine. I bought NEW head bolts and torqued the heads down correctly, and it lasted his thrashing, and he thought I was a genius! Pretty simple really...

Hi Aaron Prior to adjusting the shoes, did you back off the handbrake adjustment at the primary cable/ equalizer link? If you didn't, the shoes will be held out mechanically (falsely) by the handbrake adjustment and the master cylinder will have to displace an excessive amount of fluid to make...

Ignition Timing retarded?

Hi sk2304 I reckon it's a easy fix without dismantling the pump. I would think that you have put the Oring on the pump outlet pressure fitting on the wrong groove, covering a small orifice. Remove the fitting and check it. Good Luck Dave

Even easier way, connect 12V to boot light terminals, then use remote to open.

BFPM = 93 5.0 litre manual 185kw HSV. Just google" Delco Memcal Codes "for more info! Cheers

VP Calais HU is Eurovox Model 7380, and look as you described.

Sounds like you need to fit VR/VS rear control arm assemblies. They are different to the VP IRS in the wheel hub by exactly 19mm each side. This means that you will have 19mm more space between the inner wheel arch and the tyre after fitment. And you can get them fairly cheap too. Prob best to...

Most likely you have put the Oring in the wrong groove in the outlet fitting of the pump. If so the Oring covers a small orifice and the flow control valve prevents high pressure for hydraulic power assistance. It's easy to remove the high pressure fitting and check this. Good luck!

Happened to me once too! The bladder can get caught inside if you lower the car off the jack with no air in the air shockers. Just jack the car up again by the body or jack it up and put stands so the axle can hang down, put some air into the shockers, then lower the car back to the ground. It...

Mate, you are doing it the hard way. If I were you I would get about a 8mm drill bit and drill as many holes as you can (staying away from the control arm) all the way through the bush. This will loosen the tension holding the bush in place. Then cut off the protuding end of the bush with a...

Hi gmh_vr and all All live axle commodores VN-VS are the same length disc-to-disc. There are slight differences in shocker brackets between wagon/ute and sedan, but they are all the same width and therefore interchangeable with minor mods too. There is a difference in the 'track' between VN,VP...

Hey Fluffo, I have seen this before. You will have a lot of hard sludge particles in your sump that build up over time, especially if the car has done short trips, services have been missed and/or the PCV system is partially blocked. This crud does not come out when changing oil. When you let...

Hi mate Sounds like oil pick-up is clogged with sludge, very common with the 5 Ls. Unfortunately! It is caused by a blocked PCV port in the throttle body which over time clogs the motor with very hard sludge deposits, especially if used for short trips and not really thrashed much. All the crap...

Hi mate, there should be no brake fluid in that part of the master cylinder where the switch is located. If you are sure there is fluid leaking from the switch, the Orings are the problem and you need a new master cylinder or if that one is ok for reconditioning, put a repair kit through it...

Hi mate, I had a similar problem with my GTS. I solved it by fitting a relay (bolted on the back of the alternator, well hidden). Then you can use the existing wiring off the starter to trigger the relay and run good new 5mm wires from B+ on alternator, through relay and onto starter Solenoid...

Upper control arm bushes on diff housing to body? If these are worn or flogged out it will change the rear uni driveline angle and give the symptoms you describe.

Hi HSV.006. Would you separate the brake light from the spoiler and if so how much would you be asking for the light only? I am in VIC and the spoiler would not travel well. Please PM me with your answer.
