I have a leak and i looked under and seen this hose pretty munted, Although the day before the leak was on the other side.. Would you think this hose is the problem? (taken from the right front wheel) P.s I'm a noob at cars.

I did that last night, It could also be a water leak, i saw water dripping from the right hand side (facing the car) of the radiator today, was busy at work so didn't have time to give a closer look. If this was the case, the temp wouldnt be going back down would it?

Uh not sure if its bleeding but I had the car in an upright position, with the car running & radiator cap off?

Have a vy ute v6 series 1. Doesn't just happened when i stop or slow down, it can happen when im driving at 100km, it will overheat for about 15 second then cools down. Originally thought it was the thermostat, which I replaced & did a coolant flush/replace. For 5 days I thought it was...

Umm.. bit of aussie slang, rest of my posting has actually been very punctual.

Because I'm defending my self to illogical accusations.....

Jesus. Alright I'm going to bed as I have work at 6. Now I remember why I stay off the computer lol...

When I got this car I didn't need it so much for work, But now entering my last year as a carpenter I need to carry more things including a trailor, and v6 holden ute just doesn't cut it. Which is why I need a 4x4 hilux/navara.

Seriously did you actually read any of it? I told you I fixed everything I knew about to make it street legal, I've been pulled over numerous times also by this same guy and he even waived it through last time, So if it's passed 6 or so pull overs then why would I think its defective? All you...

If i didn't have to drive to work and footy every day that would be a good idea.

Guess not, Borrow mates alloys, chuck 20s back on, sell it seems to be the only option.

Modded up the car before I was apprentice, bought 20's then. Apprentice now. There you go being a know-it-all again, you are too cool sir.

Atleast this was something what I was after, but... those apprentice wages. Also I live in berwick now :)

Elaborate.

Well it's obviously not. Usually when I post anything remotely to this I get advice and tips/tricks. Not everyone biased and trying to look like a hero.

You work in the media? something that they would do. Because I explain the people as exactly how they were, being arrogent because they have their uniform on. Unless you're retarded, I'm pretty sure the internet and real life is 2 completely different things.

if i make it stock, my car is worth 9k tops, as it is now.. my highest offer is 10.5k Like I said, no one other than a p plater is going to buy a manual v6 ute... Everyone has more sense than that lol.

Umm... This is the internet....? I don't like people assuming things and stereotyping. & my body language was fine lol. Anyway I didn't make this thread to argue or say that all cops are 'dogs' I just wanted some normal advice.

Jesus if i had an attitude I'd say it, at first I didn't even recognize him, it was after I saw his name. & i opened the hood and everything for them and let them do what ever, why would I be a smart ass when I could potentially get away with it like previously.... & yes, they are "fully sick...

Wouldn't say lucky... as they got me for everything else, but yeah I didn't know and it looks like none of them knew you could get done for load rating. But yeah I know it's heaps cop bait but like I said previously they couldn't get me for anything.

I'm a nice guy and not a smart ass gees lol, nor do I look a bogan as you suggest. My next car which I will be getting very soon will be either a Navara or Hilux.

Been pulled over 8 or so times including by this same cop and they've never checked, they have check the tread on them & that's all

Nope attitude and body language was fine, before I said anything he was an arrogent ####, the copper is known around the area for revenue raising. and it was raining so i can assure you I wasn't in singlet... & pretty much the only people that would be a v6 ute manual would be P platers...?

I drive a vy v6 ute, lowered, 20s etc. after fixing my car & spending a heap to make to street legal I still get constantly pulled over as I'm a p plater and the cops around my area are ####s, I took my exhaust off to reduce this more! Usually they pull me over, search my car top to bottom...

I've searched around and googled a bit and haven't really had any success on what I'm looking for, does anyone know how to do this? like it looks fairly easy but is there any tips or tricks that I need to know? The car is a Vy V6 series 1 Ute

Bought both for $130.

Uh they're $20 at ebay.

Need to replace my condenser for vy ute v6. Is there any difficulties in this? Also would I need to replace the reciever / dryer? I've been told there's 2 different types of condensers for my car, how do I know which one i need?

Found out its the A/C condenser, mechanic quoted me $520... so I'll just do it myself. Usually costs for a vy ute? & are they hard to fit?

Tried this, and i do hear the click, so that's a good thing yeah? How much does it cost if any to get it checked from pressure & leaks? btw it was in mint condition and worked perfect the day before it stopped.

How do i know if a relay is out?

No it doesn't

Umm sort of hard to explain, you know when you just turn your air con on you get that sort of gas spray noise, and it usually goes away after 2 seconds or so? well that noise stays on. Im not sure if the compressor is engaging how can i tell? Don't know if I can hear leaks. A/C light is on. So...

I have a series 1 vy ute. It was working perfectly fine one day, then the next morning all of a sudden it stops working, when I turn it on it makes the air noise aswell as the usual noise that comes from the engine bay. So I'm thinking maybe a leak but I'm not sure? has anyone had experience...

South East Melbourne.

Yeah I'd definately know for next time, not happy at all at the moment.

Might have to respray my bonnet which is red for a vy. Is in good condition except for a fair few touch up paint bubbles.

So would you suggest to take it somewhere?

I had a fair few scratches in my car, and I was told to buy touch up paint and cover them. My brother in-law used to be into detailing and what not, so instead of only touching up the few deep main scratches I did everything as he told me it would buffer out easy. So I just got my car back...
