    Where can I buy a replacement coolant bleeder screw?

    As title. My car leaks coolant and I'm always taking the bleeder out to bleed it when I top up. I'd like to buy a replacement one just incase I accidentally lose it. I dropped it once and took me ages to find it lol It's the plastic bleeder screw on the top driver side of the radiator.

    Damn. That would have been really handy.

    Sign of a dead key fob?

    What ever the issue was, I don't think I'll ever find out unless it happens again and I'll have no choice but to get it fixed. It really is a mystery... It's really strange that it started working perfectly again once I put the key in the ignition. If the battery in the key fob was dying, you'd...

    Sign of a dead key fob?

    I sprayed the tiniest bit of this in the lock and now it works like brand new. I hardly have to even put any pressure on the key while turning it. I have no idea why I never thought of trying this before :/ how long it will last? Who knows. Oh, and the key fob has been working fine all...

    Sign of a dead key fob?

    Good points. I sometimes forget that this car is 18 years old, along with the key lol (04 VZ) it's also done a moon trip (300,000k :D ) Yeah I looked into that device that reprograms a key. Not sure it'll work on my car as I've had a diagnostic done to it through the port and apparently it...

    Sign of a dead key fob?

    I bought the car about 3 years ago. I don't have a spare key. It definitely isn't just the unlock button that's faulty as I pressed the lock button too and it also did nothing. I doubt there was interference as I've never had this issue before. I've noticed that the change in weather does mess...

    Sign of a dead key fob?

    I went to unlock my car with the fob like every other day and it was completely dead. No signs of life. I tried physically unlocking the drivers side door with the key with no luck. I thought I was about to break the key. I then tried the tailgate with the key and luckily it opened (yay for...

    Is it legal to put 15"s on an SS?

    Rolling diameter should be the same, pretty sure the brakes are the same as a standard VY. I have a few steelies I can check with. Just thought it was odd that the only wheels listed on the placard were 18"s.

    Is it legal to put 15"s on an SS?

    Stupid phone... Anyway, is it legal to put standard 15" rims and tyres even though the wheel placard only lists the 18"s? Would it pass inspection?

    Is it legal to put 15"s on an SS?

    I'm helping my brother get his SS ready for the pits, but the tyres need replacing. The rims are the VY SS 18" rims, but tyres for them are really expensive. Is it legal to put stahdad

    Help with drivers side door lock...

    I'm really not sure if it's out of alignment, it could be. When the door actually closes, there's a lot of play in it.

    Help with drivers side door lock...

    This car is a pita. Original problem was that when you press the lock button on the key, car would lock fine, but when pressing the unlock button on the key, all doors will unlock apart from the driver's side. The knob on the door trim will pop up, but won't unlock the door. I have to open the...

    Changing rear studs on VZ?

    Thanks! I'll definitely do the clamp and socket method! :) never would have thought of using a socket. I've been currently driving with only 4 lug nuts that were "repaired" with a di set lol

    Old ones out and putting new ones in? Or am I going to have to deal with bearings and stuff? Sorry about the double post, my phone spazzed out...

    Changing rear studs on VZ?

    Hey people. The other day I got a puncture on the rear left and took it to a place to get repaired. Long story short, all 5 studs are cross threaded so they tried to repair the threads but could only do 4. I rung around, and everyone seems to want around $300 to replace all 5. I've been...

    What's missing here? (Behind glove box)

    Thank you!! Now I can put this poor car back together I've been googling my head off trying to find info lol. BTW, those massive pins are the remains of the glove box light switch. I need new one of those too... I'd love to know why the previous owner did this :rolleyes:.

    What's missing here? (Behind glove box)

    Are you sure? I'm trying to figure out how to hinge the glove box but it's as if something is missing.

    Best V6 exhaust for price/sound?

    Glad I saw this thread as I was thinking about getting something but might not now. I like the way these motors sound at high rpm though, might get a pod just so I can hear a slight growl.

    What's missing here? (Behind glove box)

    When I bought my car, the glove box was just in the back seat. I thought I'd re install it but it looks like stuff is missing :rolleyes: This car is full of surprises lol

    Where could this coolant spray be coming from?

    So I'm constantly having issues with my VZ. I've only had the car for maybe 2 months and I've already had to do the coils, heater tap and a heater hose. Im still losing coolant but I can't see a leak anywhere. I took it to a radiator place, and got a gas test done and apparently, no issues...
  21. gemini

    No heater tap. I can still adjust temp. How?

    Yeah I think you're right because when I put the fan on minus the AC and put the temp on cold, I can still feel a slight warmth coming through but with a working tap, the knob will only open up the tap in the red part. Doesn't really bother me, but I bought a new tap anyway. Trying not to do too...

    No heater tap. I can still adjust temp. How?

    OK I must be missing something. My heater tap snapped the other day so I replaced it with a random heater tap off a ford or something. I blocked off the little vacuum line as this thing doesn't have a spot for it. it just has a lever (which doesn't seem to do anything so I'm assuming it's acting...

    Safe to drive with only one vacuum line?

    Never mind, found some hose in the shed that fit for now :)

    Safe to drive with only one vacuum line?

    Sorry guys, I seem to be asking a ton of questions here, I received my eBay ignition coils but wasn't 100% sure they were compatible so I thought I'd take out the rear passenger one to compare (seems OK) but in the process snapped the hose on this line (super brittle) from the looks of it, it...

    5-30 oil still OK for 313,000k engine?

    I ended up buying Nulon 5w-30, I'll see how it goes. No smoke so far.

    5-30 oil still OK for 313,000k engine?

    I bought the car about 2 weeks ago. I have a feeling it has been very neglected. previous owner says it has always been serviced, but the dash keeps telling me that it needed to be serviced at 280,000 but it's now at 313,000. It runs rough on first start. it's got no smoke but it's very low on...

    5-30 oil still OK for 313,000k engine?

    I know this is the recommended oil, but is it still OK for an engine with high K's?

    VT sedan towbar setup fit on VZ wagon?

    I sorted out the wiring. It was all tucked away and I had trouble finding the single plug for the LH side indicator. It looked like someone went a bit overboard with electrical tape and taped up the plug only leaving the tip of it exposed lol. Also, this car did have a tow bar installed at some...

    VT sedan towbar setup fit on VZ wagon?

    I just got around to doing it. I can confirm that it all bolts up fine :). Although, it looks like I can't use the VT plugin harness as the connectors at the rear lights of the wagon just aren't there :( oh well. A job for another day.

    VT sedan towbar setup fit on VZ wagon?

    Interesting, thanks. Ill see how I go and update the thread. its not the heavy duty setup, I think it's the lowest one that was available. I only ever use it for my little box trailer anyways.

    VT sedan towbar setup fit on VZ wagon?

    I have a complete towbar setup off my old VT sedan and am wondering if it will bolt up to my VZ wagon?

    VZ Well any double din radio fit?

    I'm assuming all single and double din hu's would all be a standard size. The only thing that might be be different is the fascia.

    Couple questions regarding VZ Wagon

    I got a diag scan done at Supercheap but their tool couldn't communicate with the ECU, so it couldn't give me the engine fault codes (the car misses like crazy and the dash keeps telling me to get it serviced), but the air bag error is now gone so at least that's a good thing. The VT chair did...

    OBD2 for 2005 VZ sv6 ?

    SuperCheap will do it for $14 and give you a print out. I was there today but I think something is wrong with my port as it could find faults for everything BUT the engine. Although, my airbag error is gone, so that's a good thing.

    Couple questions regarding VZ Wagon

    1. Do these cars have airbags in the passenger seats? I took the seat out and now im getting an airbag error. 2. Has anyone bought the ebay ignition coils? Any success with them? I have the LE0 engine and it seems pretty hard to find coils for this motor on ebay.

    suspension upgrade advice for ute that will only be used for drift

    I got the ute for $100. I got the rb25de + manual gearbox for free off a mate. All I needed was a VL Crossmember but I couldnt find one so I try getting the skyline crossmember in but I didnt want to hack it up to much so I scrapped the idea as I would have spent way to much money on getting it...

    How do I put this new ignition barrel together?

    Want a medal? :p just kidding. I got it going. I must have lost the spring luckily I had another one in the old barrel. All sorted now :D

    How do I put this new ignition barrel together?

    I think I might know what the problem is. There is a pin with 2 different size diameters on each side. I think I am missing the spring from this thing. I'll have a look for it or just go to holden and get one. I hope that's all it is. I dont think im doing this again. ever lol.
