    Yet another VY Radio wont turn off thread

    Door switch is good, had cleaned and sprayed it when issue started, just to make sure. Interior lights operate as per normal with door switch. Radio and gps turn off when door opens, but this is while the acc fuse is pulled. Will need to track down the acc fault, but its not the relay, as it...

    Yet another VY Radio wont turn off thread

    Well, have had another look, and have narrowed it down to the accessories circuit. If I turn the ignition on, radio and sat nav come on, turn key off, they stay on. (Door switch works fine, interior lights on and off correctly.) Pull acc relay, stay on, pull acc fuse, stay on, But..... pull acc...

    VF transmission cooler

    Would a VE HSV trans cooler fit a VF Calais V6? https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/VE-HSV-Automatic-Transmission-Oil-Cooler-E1-E2-E3-GTS-Clubsport-R8-Maloo-LS3-SSV-/192742748311?_trksid=p2385738.m4383.l4275.c10

    Yet another VY Radio wont turn off thread

    OK, here we go: Car: 2003 Vy Calais The other day I was cleaning my interior and door trims, listening to the radio, decided to finish up, turn the key off, door is open, radio stays on. Interior lights go out after 10 seconds as set by dash cluster when door is closed, so door switch is ok...

    Poor mans' sub mod

    OK here goes. The factory subs in the early 2000s vehicles have a paper cone in the factory subs, new subs are poly and all you have to do is tap them with your finger to hear the difference, this mod stiffens up the paper cone and can have good result, not as good as a poly cone sub, but much...

    304 Upgraded ignition module question

    Thanks for the link, don't have the car as yet, but will get it done. A few years back, a mate bought my VR Statesman 5L off me, then a few months later his module died, and cooked the coil, so something I want to avoid. You rarely break down in your driveway.

    304 Upgraded ignition module question

    I have been searching the net for an upgraded ignition module. Some time ago I stumbled across one on ebay, but now it seems they are not made anymore. Does anyone know of where anything like this can be obtained now? All I can find, is posts on the net about nucleapoweredmodules, but not much...

    VF suspension/coils question

    Legend, thanks for the tip. Bit strange when Munroe told me that they didn't do exactly that 'air risers' for VE or VF. I put the air risers in my WH a few years back, as the genuine HSV ones were a ridiculous price, and some firmer springs, and handles great.

    VF suspension/coils question

    Contacted Monroe, they don't do them for VE or VF. Just got a response from the guy on ebay that has one, can get another from Melbourne, at about 6 times the price of the one he has. So looks like somewhere sells them.

    VF suspension/coils question

    Does anyone know where I can get a pair of the superlift shocks from? Have contacted holden, waiting for them to get back to me. Contacted munroe, they don't do them. Can only find 1 on the net, why would you only have 1.

    VF suspension/coils question

    Yeah, told the mrs that they are something that wear, even though you don't notice it, same as Oxygen sensors, only really any good for appro 100K Yes you did, im on night shift, so bed time, seems I overlooked the link you provided. It seems a bit harder than it should be to find the shocks...

    VF suspension/coils question

    Thanks for the info. Have sourced some 2nd hand FE2 springs off a VF2 SSV Sportwagon, told the mrs that will need to change shocks soon, as car has done 106K. Was looking into some sort of airbag setup, as my WH Grange has the autolevelling suspension, maybe even a set of the ol pump ups will...

    VF suspension/coils question

    Hey ppls, have done a few searches but can't find what I am after. I have a 2014 VF Calais V Sportwagon, and find the suspension too soft, as I was driving across the country (SA - QLD via NT) and with the kids in the back and the car loaded, the headlights were too high, and it was last second...

    2nd battery issue

    Hi all, here is the story, and issue. Have installed a blackvue dashcam, with a power magic pro, and I also installed a powerstream charge controller (https://www.powerstream.com/DC-UPS-1212.htm), to charge a 2nd battery, being a 12v 7.2Ah SLA (Sealed Lead Acid), purely to run the dashcam, and...

    VF fuel cap

    Just had a thought, do you live on the coast? ie, close proximity to the beach? There might be some corrosion in the mechanism, lubeing it with some WD40, lanolin, etc might help.

    VF V6 Trans cooler and pan upgrade query.

    Legend. I had come across those diagrams before, just wasn't sure, will have to do some measurements and guesstimations, but that was exactly what I was going for. Cheers.

    Bummer, yes I have seen the prices on them, mucho $$$$. Looks like universal cooler is the go, was trying to go for a factory look.

    VF V6 Trans cooler and pan upgrade query.

    Hi ppls, have searched, but to no avail. My question is: Does anyone do a trans cooler kit for the VF V6, other than a universal kit, I would prefer more plug and play, than to chop into lines. Does the HSV Gen-F trans cooler fit? Has anyone here fitted a trans cooler to their VF V6? I can...

    Holden By Design, yet another thread.

    Well, yesterday I got a return call from Holden, they couldn't tell me anything except that Holden By Design was on off shoot of HSV but doesn't exist anymore, but told me where the car was originally sold, so I rang them. The guy I spoke to in service didn't know, but agreed that the 2 codes...

    New V6 is a Stunner - V6TT SS anyone?

    Impressive specs. When I first saw pics of the 3L V6, I said that it was just screaming for some twin turbo goodness.

    Holden By Design, yet another thread.

    And here is my reply from HSV, I must know what these other 2 codes are, perhaps they are a mis-stamp, but they are definitely there. AWY – Alloy Wheel ‘Y’Series INT – Interior Pack 1. ( Alloy foot pedals set, leather auto knob & handbrake, Satin Crome door handles, stainless sill plate kit...

    Holden By Design, yet another thread.

    Went into my local Holden dealer, and he thought I was on drugs, so I showed him the pic of the HDB plate, and he says that he has never heard of it, but he is a ford man and has only worked there for 2 years. He printed out the RPO codes, showing all the factory items. He says to talk to head...

    Holden By Design, yet another thread.

    Awesome Conrod. No hard lid on it, but it does have a big chrome roll bar. Looks like most things have been removed by a previous owner, so I wouldn't mind trying to get it back to original + a few tasteful mods. When I first looked at it, the scuff plates were missing, which made me think if...

    Holden By Design, yet another thread.

    Hi guys, I just picked up a VY V6 ute, for cheap, needs some love. When I got it back to my place, I had a better look over it and noticed the 'Holden By Design' plate on it. The codes are: AWY, INT, SSU, SBT, SUS, and EXT. Now I have found the code lists on the net, but can't seem to find...

    VE MAF to LS1

    Awesome, I was just looking into fitting a 297kw MAF to my 250kw Gen3. This fits the bill perfectly, no mucking about, and should look standardish too. Next mod would be a bigger throttle body to compliment it.

    WH Wheel alignment specs

    Hey guys. I have a 2000 WH Grange, does anyone know what the wheel alignment specs are? or have a sheet that I can print out. Every time I get a wheel alignment, it seems I have a different car, yesterday it was a WL Statesman with FE2, and they didn't even do the rear wheels, then I...
