    Vy sedan and ss utes . What seats do you sit in

    OP chiming in... Still read the forums, still drive the same vy. Thread digging can be important as these vehicles age, the deeper the better on occasions. Glad it bought up an interesting conversation for the asking poster and those still curious. Appears the vz sedans didn't get rear...

    Rego fees in your state

    What's everyone paying for rego these days. I payed $1120 for twelve months 03 v8 ute recently. Does it fluctuate much in different States and Territories? I didn't check out third party rates, just payed what the fee was.

    new radiator

    barto88, I replaced mine about 6 weeks ago. I bought one online from ebay ($ 140) delivered. Have you the capacity to install it yourself? It took me a couple of hours. I also did a new waterpump and thermostat. If you have an auto make sure you get the radiator that suits.

    Landscape Gardening / Small Business Owners
