Just a tip to help re installing the shifter, and that annoying pin which has to go back in. I found that a piece of wire (coathanger did the job) which is big enough to fit inside the pin can be slid in the hole on the shifter. This keeps the shifter in place. Then place the pin over the...

Hey, thanks for the reply. Found out it was the Yellow-Red wire for future reference.

Hey all. I am installing a new head unit in my Berlina, and it has a single wire out from the head unit for antenna control. I was wondering if anyone knows which colour wire this connects to, as my Max Ellery's electrical wiring diagram sucks, and I can't really make sense of it...

Cheers, thanks. I'll check em out.

Where do you get those bits to cover the air box and battery?

Is the aerial bent, or is it in good condition but just won't up or down? The other half's father had a stuffed aerial on his Patrol, and he bought a kit which enabled you to fix it yourself, cost about twenty bucks. Took a whole of five minutes and it goes up and down no problems. I think he...

Yeah it should be on the instruction sheet you get with the bushes, just follow the combination of washers/spacers. Not terribly hard to do, a long breaker bar is handy and a small squirt of CRC to loosen up bolts.

I was thinking of casting the ecotec cover, but perhaps customising it a little bit, then have it chrome plated or just polished up. Any thoughts?

Yes, agreed it is. Didn't like the feeling though. Anyway, just wanted to write this in case anyone else searches for a thread along the lines of this, that it was a very simple job really. Nice long torque wrench came in very handy, and that the thread 'How to replace radius rod bushes...

Thanks all for the replies, much appreciated. I have searched ebay and went to Repco. The only ones they had were Nolathane ones for $195. Same Nolathane on ebay, 145 with free postage, so I think I will just go with these. Thanks again, all of your assistance is much highly appreciated...

Thanks Zeussy, the radius rod/caster/Z bar bushes look pretty shagged, probably still stock from the factory 12 years ago. Just read the qrite up on replacing them, doesn't look too hard a job. Thanks heaps!

Thanks soop, I'll have a look when the rains stops

Hi there, I have just had a roadworthy done on my VT, and one thing needing replacement is the caster bushes. What the hell are caster bushes? I have found a few posts on forums but I'm not totally clued up to where they are, and I was wondering if they go by another name, then I can find...

do you have the front bumper reo bar for the vt?

Hey all, Got a VT with some damage to the front left hand side. It needs a new left hand guard, though it looks like it will need a new radiator support, both upper and lower. Does anyone know if this is a welding job, or a bolt out/bolt in job? If it is a welding job, does it have to be...

Yeah I replaced it with a 1N4004, though had no luck. Any other suggestions?

Hey there, Wondering if anyone could help. I fried diode number four on my climate control in my VS Berlina. Just wondering if anyone would happen to know the value of D4 on the circuit board? Thanks.

yeah I fried mine yesterday, it's out of a vs berlina

climate control hey, did this car have electronic climate control? If so, do you still have it and if so, what would you be asking? thanks

ITEM: Climate Control unit for VS Berlina LOCATION: Victoria (Melbourne's West) CONDITION: New or Used (and working) DELIVERY/PICK UP INFORMATION: Will pay postage and will also pick up if on the west side of Melbourne. PAYMENT OPTIONS: Can pay cash (if pick up), money order, online...

Yes, another scammee from eBay. I got ripped 700 AUD about three years ago from some dodge in the Ukrane. Could never get the cash back, as I paid via Western Union money order which offers you no security (as I later found out). So I learnt, at a loss though. Never buy from anyone in former...

3 is a multiple of nine...

Perhaps they did....

Guns don't kill people, people kill people

If you're in Melbourne out west kinda way I can recommend a guy. My barrel wouldn't turn, so it was a case of new barrel. From memory it was like $100 all up. if you do it yourself, be careful because if you break the pin at the back of the barrel, then you're up for a whole new housing, which...

Ummmm, you know, the funny thing is my mate tried to tell me about the whole offside thing. I kinda understood this one a lot better :P

Hey, Is it just a matter of replacing the 2 globes with LED's, or do you need to somehow gain access inside the unit, and replace globes on the inside? Mine doesn't work at all, so was wondering if there were a 3rd globe somewhere? Cheers

Yeah I used to have a Sony deck in my VN. Refer to your manual though, it says in there how to turn off the beep. I'll see if I can dig my old one out...

Think about it though, that blue car wasn't there, that would have fit, 'Like a gloooovvvee!'

If it were Costello, wouldn't he be pushing him under? Anyway, we'd have to have another election, so I'd save him! Yeah seriously though, I'd save him. I kinda like the bloke....

Hey, Yeah did it myself, there's a thread in the Car audio thread I think. What you do is just chop the coin tray sides lengthways, so the HU has something to sit it and secure to. Might was to also drill some holes in the coin tray if it blocks any ventillation holes

LOL @ above post! Gotta love heroes... But in regards to the cop car, what state uses Red signage? Or is that a thing you can do in Photoshop?

The DVD player - is it an actual player in the car running off an inverter/the 12 Volt type? Or, have you got two single din players?

yo, anybody here?

Hey, got these pics today on the way out. Forgot the key inside so no pics of interior, but day off tomorrow, so will snap some. Suburb is Keilor Downs in Melbourne and vehicle is an auto. Sorry, forgot to include relevant stuff!:P

Is it still for sale?

I have a VP which was involved in an accident last year. Anyway, it's all fixed up now, and I got the car back. The damage was done to the rear right hand side, although it had some slight damage done to the bonnet also. Besides that, the car's pretty clean on the inside, motor and gear box...

It was mentioned that the brain automates functions after it has learnt to repeat that function. The only thing is, it takes over 5000 times of constantly repeating that function to automate it. Take into account that while you talk on your phone, the road is an ever changing environment and can...

Yeah, have to agree, bit of work it might not be half bad. I say good on em! Don't know about their road standards though...

On the topic of spraying, what's better? Sanding or stripper?
