sometimes when i put my foot into the poor girl, I can hear like a gurgle from near the pedals.. is that normal? there is no wet marks or any water leaks.. just the sound irritates me and just dont understand why it would make the noise

i just ripped out my fuel pump/sender from my VT Commodore and changed the sender.. only thing I did was changed the wiring and used the same fuel pump. the sender is giving me a estimate but before i took it all out, i could go find around corners when turning right, but since i have changed it...

thanks guys.. buying a almost new full exhaust for the car Non-IRS for $50 :) get that put on the car today so it doesnt sound like a droneing truck haha

Hey guys Just wondering I have a VS Commodore executive NON IRS and my center muffler has crack all around the pipe/box and was wondering do IRS center mufflers fit NON IRS or is there a difference?

well im in a country town so it wont be cheap but i do have lock smiths.. i might have a suss this week for some prices. cheers

well I have got a new ignition in there with a key :) (using the old remote since because of the BCM) just wondering where is the best place to get 2 new keys + cut and to be programmed into the remotes manually?

the only problem is the only key I had for the car has snapped in the ignition barrel. is there a way to bypasss the bcm or something so I can at least start it?

hey guys just wondering what the best way is to replace ignition/barrel as its totally rooted and even snapped my key in the ignition. do i have to replace the whole bcm or can i just replace the ignition, plug and start it? ive got the remote immobiliser still havent done a commodore...

Cheers yeah I was thinking about the sticker to take off. Might do that over the weekend :) but yeah it's served me well for 2 months already

just uploaded as attachments some recent pictures of my car

no i havent replaced it as i'm going to be getting a lower km motor cause I don't know the history of this one... yeah i looked on ebay for something around that price. I noticed after a bit of a booty drive, there was a funny squeal where the hose is on the thermostat housing and saw a minor...

yeah well the water pump was secondhand and the gasket was from a cereal box with the blue gasket maker haha.. and radiator im not sure on the condition but gotta start somewhere otherwise ill look for a motor cause this ones done 449xxx now

it was just tightened by the mechanic. ive flushed the radiator but still the same.. water pump is $30-$35 from ebay. its done a high amount of kms so replacing major things wouldnt be worth it.

usually if your car is sluggish its putting it into limp mode so it will go like crap.. but as Gregory has mentioned take a look at the plug incase its just that

I've taken the car to the mechanic to tighten up the valley gasket/inlet manifold gasket and put some of that seal stuff in the radiator... for some reason my car is still loosing coolant and there is no signs of head gasket issue or any leaks on the ground.. Am i better off replacing the...

HAHA thats that i'm doing too :)

hasnt done too bad for 447,000 kms... motor still goes strong. but yeah im looking up on youtube and trying to find how to take it off change and put it back on.. and to know what tools i need. otherwise ill just find someone to do it professionally

I have now hopefully located the problem of my missing water.... I was cleaning the excess crappy oil from the rocker cover gasket. And noticed some green coolant coming out from just above drivers side on top of the rocker cover gasket where it has the inlet manifold.... I think my inlet...

ive driven it probably 2000 or more km like it is... but fingers crossed its nothing major.. if its just the cap ill be happy lol

just a update, car is getting a bit of a decent stock look.. ive tried to use cheap double sided tape on the front door but the rubber just fell off LOL. ill eventually get mags but at the moment its my daily and cruise car :)

cheers, ill keep a update on what happens, ill do a bleed again just incase, but it does kinda makes sense, drive slow it doesnt really affect it but once high revs/pressure happens it plays up.. :) ill get the cap tommorow, bleed it, top up and see how that goes this time. cheers for everyones...

went to the radiator place here around the corner from me.. he said i have a 15 pound radiator cap and should be a 20 pound cap so whats why Im having mysterious water missing cause of the pressure. they also said i dont need a pressure test cause there was high pressure in the hoses too, but...

the heater box / tap isnt connected. it just been rerouted back to the motor

cheers. ill see how i go

well sometimes i have to fill it up, sometimes i don't.. sometimes it may just be a little bit. it runs fine, but probably hard to see it when im driving it around for leaks but one thing i do notice is the overflow bottle even though its filled to the MAX marking, little spits still come out on...

yeah somewhere lol... ill change the cap and if it still doesnt fix anything, ill get it tested. guess if i drive it steady, ithe coolant will last lol

yeah gonna suss out how much that will usually cost me to get done.. waterpump has been replaced..

No signs of a leaky head gasket.. No milky oil under the oil cap, no milky oil on the dip stick, no white smoke and the car runs absolutely like a dream. Its fine on the highway, is fine on the road/up the mountain but does heat up but then goes back down no problem. Yeah was thinking about...

Hey all, Just want to get some opinions about this problem I'm having. I have a VS Commodore, now I can leave the radiator topped up and the overflow bottle on the right MAX mark for 24 hours and does not lose one drop of water. Lately when I drive when its been driving, sometimes the guage...

Hey all Attached is my $300 VS Commodore main thing that needs to be looked at is the motor which i'm currently hunting around. plans to eventualyl get some mags, tinted windows and extractors/nice sound to it. :)

Just a pioneer one. no amps, both on radio/cd.. its one of them normal pioneer mp3 ones with the aux port. maybe direct earth might help?

Hey everyone, When i turn my car on (VP COMMODORE) to accessories, I have good sound quality like bass etc but when I turn the car on, the sound weakens and distorts the speakers with the bass. I tried changing earth points (2 times) but any other ideas on why I would be having this...

Hey all, Sorry, dont know what section to put this in Just wondering if anyone knows of any cheap mechanics in Melbourne that can replace seals/o-rings in power steering racks? Think mine have gone because when i squeeze the boot, it sounds like a water balloon with water in it, and...

that looks pretty neat and tidy.. love the wheels on it.. better than what was originally on there

yeah i didnt paint it though lol... yeah im gonna save up for some mags once the important stuff is done like transmission service cause its not a clear red colour, wheel alignment, etc
