    2000 VT Commodore Issue (Could be Anything)

    Hey Mate My old V6 Supercharged Calais was doing the same thing. I would be driving along then it would just suddenly die when driving at like 60km/hour. Sometimes it would start straight back up but most often than not it wouldn't start until it had cooled down. Turned out to be a faulty...

    VT Heavy Power Steering

    Thanks for the quick reply. I have checked all the lines are done up tight. The fluid does go around in the fluid reservoir, and it was a reconditioned pump. Might have another crack at it now. Is it normal also for the fluid level to drop once the car is started? It drops about 2-3cm in...

    How to get Chrome Handles like a Caprice

    well its not proper chrome, the handles are plastic, not proper chrome, chrome paint I assume. So I painted directly onto the Chrome paint, Time will tell i guess.

    How to get Chrome Handles like a Caprice

    umm no, no plastic primer. Hope mine dont peel. I was painting directly onto the Chrome finish on the handles so hopefully it dosent do that. Did you do yours the same way I did mine or did you use Chrome paint onto the original handles?
