    Vt commodore A/C compressor and fan location

    Reply I have seen nothing from you that adds anything to the conversation other than being critical. I suggest you calm down yourself or try and think of something intelligent to say. You did yours already? I bet you paid a fortune. As a result of your mindless comments I have deleted those...

    Indicators not working on first start up??

    Indicators failing is quite a common problem on early VTs and was rectified with a replacement Hazard switch by GMH during warranty. It occurs when the interior of the car gets quite cold such as being left outside in winter. The problem will rectify itself after the interior warms up or by...

    [VT-VX] VX Commodore Service How To Detailed

    C orrect. Idle is set by cpu but you can adjust the screw behind to raise the idle! One problem is if the butterfly valve is a bit warped it won't close off completely even if you wind the idle screw back to zero. As you know it's the air which is controlled....

    [VT-VX] VX Commodore Service How To Detailed

    I wouldn't bother with brake fluid flushes, coolant flushes, power steering flushes. Just keep them topped up after brake pad changes etc. The rest shouldn't alter anyway unless there is a leak. These are just reasons for Holden to do work on your car. I have 150K on my VT, 1o years old and 135K...

    [VT-VX] VX Commodore Service How To Detailed

    Your fuel economy is normal. The low fuel light comes on about 400-420 but you have about another 80kms city driving left in your tank. Start driving on your trip computer rather than fuel guage and you will get about 480kms city driving. i get up to 520kms but that is running it to about 74 litres.

    Bluetooth Handsfree in the VE

    Over sized tyres on the VE? (just a though)

    Won't pass a RWC in Victoria and attract police who will canary it. It will show that you are doing a lower speed than actual so it will cause havoc with camera fines. It will be all over the place. It could also foul the guards on turns and bottom out the front and rear on bumps. It really is a...

    New VE SSV Redline Sedan Owner (In a few weeks...)

    I certainly would not buy a Redline then change everything. The point of Redline Range is to satisfy the people who don't want to change everything. Go with the standard SS not even the standard SSV if you are going to replace wheels and tyres. The Blaupunkt system is excellent sound for a...

    Insurance – HELP!

    No-one will cover you if you are racing and why should they? You are taking a risk with THEIR premium. One suggestion is to transfer the registration into a parent's name which will cost just the family transfer fee and have them insure it which will lower the premium. You will then only be...
