    religion, again...

    Translated: I don't understand religion. I'm not proud of my country, my flag or my culture. Religion is a broad and wide-ranging concept and to stereotype it, as with all things, is wrong. I do believe that all faiths should be given fair room to express themselves, however, the national...

    Ethics

    I agree in selling to whoever brings you the cash first. However, something people have eluded to but haven't apparently been able to elaborate is that if you make a promise to someone, or tell someone something, it's simple good manners to stand by your word. If you had the forethought to...

    After a new desktop.

    MSY's service is ****. They're prices are ok. That built is.. about right, I mean if you had a mate build it he might be able to knock a hundred or two off, but thats about right retail.

    cops in pakenham. random defect test (RDT)

    I'm a red victorian P Plater, driving a 99% stock Commodore VT. The only modifications are a painted engine cover and a new head unit. I've been pulled over twice, both times for random breath tests, never a roadworthy check. Is my car roadworthy? Hell no, it's nearly 12 years old and I don't...

    getting married at the registry?

    I asked my wedding celebrant mate and they said that your best bet is to just have a "wedding ceremony" however you want it, make it a dinner with a few friends, have a cake, make speeches, get plastered, have wild crazy sex that night, all that, but do the paperwork another day. It's like what...

    Good Old Rock 'N' Roll

    I'll give it a listen when I get home. I like old style classic rock and I'm always in the market for new talent. Some of the stuff I'm listening to at the moment is: Tame Impala, Sick Puppies.

    Clients

    Now see, it's the opposite for me. I work as a sys admin by day, but I freelance doing in-home computer repairs, upgrades and builds for families. My favourite thing is lippy clients who think they know best. Like the grandparents who were told by their darling son that the i7 processor is so...

    VT V6 Missing

    Plastic hose != a straw Sometimes I don't think things through... Anyway, what worked charms for me was one of those brightly colored plastic "noisemaker" tubes that small children swing around in circles and make deep "wooaawwooaaaww" noises with. Again, as I said, I'm an idiot.

    idiot put water in power steering fluid

    SHOT THROUGH THE HEART, BUT YOU'RE TOO LATE, YOU GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME! Seriously though, drain from the rack, refill, bleed and probably drain, refill and bleed again.

    VT - Sensors

    Sounds to me you've done the right thing. By disconnecting the battery you've reset all the error codes. If anything lights up again, check the error codes using one of the handy dandy guides on this here forum.

    VT V6 Missing

    Dragon has posted some marvelous advice. Check the two vacuum leads on your throttle body, as well as the EGR pipe. Generally, any "sucking" sound coming from an engine that ISNT coming from your air intake is bad sign...

    Repairing a PS3

    A client has asked me if and where they can take a PS3 to get it repaired. Knowing full-well there are dodgy operators in any trade, I would like to recommend someone who at least comes with one or two votes of confidence. If you, or anyone you know, has any experience in this, I would...

    Traction Control

    Admittedly, I've got a 240,000KM Ecotec VT, and I'm a P plater who has been known to trash the car from time to time. No hassles with T/C for me either.

    September 11 ...10 years on.

    The incident was very sad, but I do believe that it's also sad how much of a "worldly" impact this had. As many people that died in that incident die every single day to preventable causes such as malaria or starvation. Sometimes it's a good exercise to put these things in comparison.

    Breaking into my VT (PM)

    Thanks for all the... err... Interesting responses guys... It's as simple as this. I opened my house, went inside, got my stuff to clean my car, opened my boot to get my tool box out, shut the boot and washed my car. THEN realised the keys were in the boot, and I must have pressed the lock...

    Breaking into my VT (PM)

    If you guys have been anywhere near the pub or the LAN lounge, you'll know I've been around for a few months. I've got a few threads about my VT olympic edition, so I assure you, I'm not trying to steal some dudes car. It's just been one of those days, and I've locked my only set of keys in...

    Kids To Tired to Learn

    I work in a school, and I just finished being in one as a student. School should start at 8-8:30, like *most* jobs do. It should finish at 5pm. Kids should get a morning and afternoon smoko of 15 minutes, and a lunch break of half an hour. Keep them at school for work hours, but...

    Grubs!!!

    My mates fold my mirrors in and lift my wipers too. It's a given. But yeah, there is a huge jump between some harmless fun between mates and going out of your way to maliciously damage someone else's property.

    Motherboards dying!

    Download Ultimate Boot CD. Test ####ING EVERYTHING. Once you got an idea of what you're dealing with, go from there. The other advice has been rock solid too, test with different RAM and a different GPU.

    Dead USB ports

    Just for future reference, computers don't often "blow fuses". But it could have very easily been a loose connection inside the case, seeing as it was front panel, not back panel (which is physically attached to the motherboard)

    gregory's manual? Crap?..i dont know

    I have a haynes manual for the VT-VX or some ****. I own a VT. It's kinda useful for like "point you in the right direction" style advice. Don't expect the manual to be entirely correct, or even very easy to read, understand or navigate. But it WILL offer advice and tips and maybe some stuff...

    Vt trip meter

    Something that took me ages... You gotta have the car off and turn it to accessories while holding the buttons. Turn key AND hold buttons, same time. I only just figured it out. Lol.

    VT consle, Audio Push/Sound Equalizer button not working

    Open it up, have a look. There is information floating around the forum here about how to pull the car apart. Do that, see if you can't fix it. Better still, just fit a new head unit. The eurovox don't really impress me too much :P
