Wowsers Once again the wowsers and greenies of this world have got their way. This whole censorship thing is total BS. I,m not a racer , Im 46 years old and I don,t "burn rubber". BUT I do object strongly on censoring posts because a few POLITICALLY CORRECT people object. Freedom of...

rattle have a look at the oxygen sensor in the header pipes, noticed mine was loose today and caused a rattle that came and went. Try revving the motor while standing to your problem rpm and move the cable on the ox sensor. Hope this helps

I was taught not to use silastic on cork and rubber gaskets as it makes them slip and extrude out. There seems to be a lot of conflicting views about what to put on gaskets especially on Justcommodores. I have had suggestions to NOT USE ANY SEALANT on sump gasket. AND to use sealant on...

Gasket I wasn,t clear about the gasket in my last post. The original was neoprene , all squished up. The new gasket is a compressed cork.

Not so easy I must have a different VN to everybody else who has changed a sump gasket. Firstly on the auto there is no place to jack up the bellhousing, there is a very thin sheetmetal cover over the torque converter, no way I was going to jack it up there.and the gap between sump and...

I have to replace a ball joint and the sump gasket for a roadworthy. Another thread said sump gasket wasn,t too difficult to do in the car. Any advice as to this is greatly appreciated. Also how difficult is it to remove and replace a ball joint? I have heard they have to be pressed...

Mothballs in the fuel tank, eggs in the radiator , what next? Chicks in the back seat !

CODE 51 is in the computer (ECU) memcal unit, it,s located behind the kick panel on the passenger side. Once computer is out under the hex screws holding the aluminium cover, check that memcal unit , is securely in place , if everything looks fine see if you can try just plugging in someone...

I think you,ll find its the resistor pack burnt out which you can replace. Have a look elsewhere on this forum and you will find the answers http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/showthread.php?t=7607&highlight=resistor

Anyone been game enough to try adding bleach to the engine oil?

If you are handy with a soldering iron, get hold of some resistance wire, Dick Smith has Nichrome and Cuprothal for about $3.00, and replace the faulty coil in the resistor pack , just wind your own coil, The length of the wire and the type of wire used will determine the fan speed, but I...

Yep all seems fine, I did notice today that if I jiggle the wires around the relays in the engine bay it will work, I just have to find out what wire is causing the problem. When the mysterious wire is alright everything works fine, the car even starts without fuel pump via the oil pressure...

Ok thanks Dr Bob, I have emailed the memcal, I am hoping that the memcal is causing engine faults and stopping the ECU from displaying the error messages.

The fuel pump does not run unless I bridge the ALDL connectors fuel pump test terminal G and H. The fuses relay and wiring seem ok. The engine cuts out when bridge is removed. Any ideas?

If a memcal was incorrectly programmed or is faulty, will it stop the error codes from displaying . Would it also stop the Air con and fuel pump from working properly. I read the memcal in my computer and all the error diags are not set . Also a lot of the specs are way off standard.

Hi all, Thanks for the forum, it,s given me a lot of useful information already. I have been given the chance to buy a VN 1989 V6 series 1 for $1500.00 It is in really good condition bodywise and the engine has done 107,000 k Do you think this is a fair price? The only problem is...
