Just saw this as I haven't been on the forum for some time. I bought my Senator in 1995 and still have it. My No 127 came with the factory delete boot spoiler and did not have a bonnet badge. It came with and still has the yellow steel rim and boot carpets. It came with different mag wheels...

Thanks that is the sort of answer I was after. Did you use acrylic or 2K? Some blokes here have told me there are problems with Chinese 2K clear peeling after a short time.

I was looking on Ebay etc and the paints on there are way cheaper than local suppliers as you say but I have not used them that is why I am asking. Biggest reason here Quote' " Freight is very expensive to get things up here so we can't match southern prices." Think that is why we pay double at...

I want to repaint my Landcruiser Trayback in a white respray over the white 2K. Can anyone please recommend any of the cheaper paints to use. I have ben told not to use Chinese paint but this bloke only used PPG which I find hard to justify the cost on this vehicle. Thanks for any advice, much...

I got the Instrument cluster rebuilt by genautoinstruments on Ebay and all is good again. Cost $235.00 post back included. He fits all new Leds and reset original mileage. Turn around time was quicker than I expected and the bloke is very helpful I will post up a picture tomorrow. Thanks again...

Left led shows speed warning OFF also.

The mileage of 123596 and 12Kl/L is just visible anf other mode shows only Dist to empty 140K center Led shows nothing at all.

I bought a couple of instrument sets before I got Shane to repair my LEDS and should still have some gauges stored somewhere. I haven't had any problems with gauges only the rotten LEDS LOL. I do not understand why anyone would change their instrument panel to these as they are so troublesome. I...

Thanks for that. I was not sure what Shane [88GreenVN] told me when he repaired it as I had multiple ops on my foot and **** loads of morphine. He put the original Ks back on but I could not remember the details. At that time he said he would not do any more as he was sick. Glad he is good now...

Thanks HarryHoudini, Much appreciated your help. I could find nothing on Ebay or other forums. I was hoping some of you young blokes would come up with something. Cheers

I had the instrument panel repaired a few years back by 88GreenVN and it was great until I went into hospital for an extended stay. After I got out I had to go back and get both knee joints replaced When I was mobile again I found the LED's had bled or are not showing at all, rest is perfect. I...

Thanks for the replies. Rekieved it is not in the trans or mapping circut. I have to fit a new cigarette lighter body today as the push in piece from the dash cam broke it so will check out power to the switch. Thanks again, gaz

G'Day, The power mode light stays alight on my dash regardless of how many times I operate the switch. Is this a usual problem with the switch oe is the problem elsewhere. The trans and engine function perfectly when driving. Thanks in advance as nothing showed for me in search. Vehicle VS V6...

Thanks Mate, good to get some useful information. Best regards

Mate I have 3 cars and everyone here stresses when you leave your cruiser and boat trailer at a ramp while doing overnight fishing trip. The vs ute and senator and landcruiser are **** easy to break into without keys. regards

A car thiefs best friend.

Bloody hell LOL no easy answers these days. Thanks mate.

Not Audio but was unsure where to post. I have been looking on Ebay at GPS tracking units as there are heaps of cars being stolen here. As an older bloke I am not familiar with these units. I was looking at a unit that can contact my mob phone but would like to hear suggestions please. Some...

This reads a bit like the wife's Camrey she used to own. It started playing up gradually until it would stop as if the key was turned off.. After running for 20 to25 minutes would stop, DEAD. Then restart after half an hour or so. Vehicle was taken to Mike Carney Toyota, a mechanic in Ingham and...

Cheers VQXTC, Yep still got the Senator. Never got to drive it much the last 12 months as I had an injury resulting in 5 operations on my foot. The auto was playing up from not being driven but I changed and cleaned the governor on the auto and the thing is A1 now LOL Still 121.000 odd Ks on it...

My switch was replaced while I was away working out of town a couple of years ago.. Holden here resourced the part from outside and installed it. I think the switch was somewhere around $65.00 forgotten exact amount. The alarm started going off for no reason [LOL] not good in the middle of the...

Mate, you missed the point. Qld Transport checked it at Leyland St Garbutt Townsville to make sure it was not converted from a 3 Seat.

I think you better check your facts with Qld Transport, it may be OK in NSW but not in Queensland. I just swapped out Autotechnica seats as I could not go through roadworthy with them. Qld transport checked my plate on the firewall to make sure it was made as a 2 seater when I took it in to pay...

Mate I am pretty sure it will need to be engineered to change from bench seat to buckets. You need to contact Qld Transport to be sure or you will have no insurance or be defected. My VS ute had aftermarket seats Autotecnia] and would not go through road worthy so rather than get them...

Cheers Hirider, Good info, thanks as I had to repair mine. Used the hot glue gun with the same glue I used to attach a new tip to one of my fishing reds. regards gaz

Sent you a PM, Regards, Gaz

Kick down cable looks the same, no adjustment shifting of cable evident evident. Also removed torque converter inspection plate and it is as new, no oil or any other rubbish/dust dirt or rust or such in there.

Hi, I dropped the tranny pan and there was no metal in the bottom of the pan. These GM tranny's usually have a fair bit of metal shavings.There was some gunk around the pan magnet as the pic shows. Some of the particles in the pan are calk from the gasket. Rieistall and refill then test drive...

Hi, I sent you a PM asking about the door mirrors. Regards Gaz

Cheers Kiwi, As in the first post I ran it to 4,000 RPM and shifter to second =no change. Same for the other gears. Then started again ran to 3,500 lifted off the foot, shifted to neutral then back to 2nd and it picked up second. Even at lower RPM if you shift to N then back to 2 it will engage...

Cheers, Maybe your case was ongoing damage while in use? Mine was very good in all gears and shifting in August 2013 then last week did not shift to 3rd and 4th. Picks up second after shifting to neutral then back to drive. Gearbox is quiet with all windows down no noises. Picks up first and...

When I bought the car 16 or 17 years ago I took it to a transmission shop just off Dalrymple Road in Garbutt and asked them to service it. I was not familiar with the vehicle and was concerned the changes were a lot stiffer than a mates V8 Calais and his auto would change into 4th before mine...

The fluid is still medium dull red from last time the pan was dropped. I usually do that every Christmas time along with the engine oil and LSD oil however it was not done the last Christmas break. Last year the car would not have done 1,000Ks. Think I used it 4 or 5 times on weekends at the...

Thanks Jxw, much appreciated.
