    VE HSV R8 Leaking brake master cylinder

    I just did the same, my cap looked pretty clean. I haven't wiped mine for around 2 months and there was only a couple of drops on it, so that's pretty good. I'm probably still better off getting a new cap.

    VE HSV R8 Leaking brake master cylinder

    I haven't done anything about it because it has slowed down a fair bit, only needs a wipe down once a month. But im pretty sure its a faulty cap. Ill get it looked at next service.

    VS Commodore over cranking?

    Just an update on this guys, today I had the chance to replace the fuel injectors and fuel pressure regulator with brand new items and also put in a new fuel filter and the starting problems are gone. Fires straight away now. Cheers to everyone that helped :)

    VS Commodore over cranking?

    Just an update guys, I went to install the regulator this afternoon and have stuffed the screw head because it is in such an annoying spot and it's done up too tight to get a decent grip on, why they made it a phillips heads and not a socket head is beyond me. What I'll have to do is pull the...

    VS Commodore over cranking?

    I have ordered a new fuel pressure regulator which will be here tomorrow just to rule that out as being the problem.

    VS Commodore over cranking?

    Just had a look through the receipts and theres one here for a fuel pump and filter replaced around 9 months ago. How likely would it be that this pump is now faulty? Edit: Just checked the vacuum hose on the fuel pressure regulator and it seems to be dry.

    VS Commodore over cranking?

    Thanks for the suggestions guys, just drove it down to the local shops with a quarter tank of fuel left and hopped back in it to start it and it wouldn't fire. First thing I thought of was to put some fuel in it and it fired right up. Not sure if it's related to this starting issue but annoying...

    VS Commodore over cranking?

    Hey Guys. I recently purchased a 96 VS Commodore and it runs perfectly fine apart from one thing i've noticed. When starting, it seems to crank for longer than it needs to, it always starts fine but just cranks a bit longer like its not going to start. It is a 1 owner vehicle and I have all...

    Are these Focal tweeter usable?

    Hey Guys. I pulled my Focal speakers out of my old car about 6 months ago and now want to install them into my new one, I was looking at the tweeters and one of them looks like the top layer has peeled/cracked a little bit. I was just wondering if you guys reckon this would impact the sound...

    Tune question?

    Just got my reply from Mace, there is actually an option in their software to put it back to stock so it can be tuned by someone else. Thanks to everyone that helped

    Tune question?

    Okay thanks mate, when you say you had to pay to have it returned to stock, who did that for you? I will be getting whoever fits the cam to tune it, then I can just drive away with no issues and if there are any then its straight back there I haven't picked a specific workshop to do it yet, just...

    Hey mate. Is this deal available in a 3" system? Not sure whether to go 2.5 or 3" Also will these fit a VE HSV Clubsport? Do the stock oval shaped tips bolt straight on to the Manta system? Cheers.

    Clubsport clicking noise over bumps?

    It does sound as though its coming from the brake pads. How do I go about a fixing it if it is?

    Clubsport clicking noise over bumps?

    I got under the car and tried to see if anything was loose and it doesn't seem like anything is. Sounds like its coming from around the wheel area. If I take it to pedders and get one of them $28 suspension checks they should be able to tell me right?

    Hey Guys. I own a 2009 VE Clubsport sedan and am getting this really annoying metallic noise whenever I go over small bumps in the road, it sounds as though its coming from the rear wheel but not 100% sure. Its almost like a clicking sound and it sounds as though something is loose/broken...

    VE HSV R8 Leaking brake master cylinder

    Hey Guys. Was having a look under my bonnet today and noticed that there seems to be a bit of brake fluid on the outside of the reservoir. The brakes still work fine and there are no other issues. The level of fluid is still fine so is only leaking a little bit. It looks as though the cap...

    MACE 12mm Manifold insulator VE Alloytec installation question

    Ahh just had another look and I found it. It's not that one at all, it's actually a long one on the drivers side the same as the other 5 bolts on top of the manifold. It's pretty tight in there but I got a normal socket in there and managed to take the whole bolt out fairly easily.

    Manual lock doesn't work

    Well I decided to have a look tonight and have fixed the problem, the metal rod that goes from the lock mech to the actuator had actually slipped out of the lock mech itself (not the actuator end). Was a real pain to get the rod back through the hole but I got it in the end and my manual lock...

    Thanks for those links, very helpful. I might take a look on the weekend and see if one of those rods at the back have slipped out, hopefully that's all it is.

    New VE Fascia

    Love the look of these, seriously considering getting one for my VE because the stock head unit is one of the only downsides to the car.

    VE Amp remote wiring, behind glovebox?

    I don't mind living with it. It's just the fact that I have 2 amps, 1 for a sub and the other for the 4 speakers. The 4 channel one uses an LOC and the sub one already has high level input so those have been used. They are auto sensing though so whenever I turn the ignition off and before I open...

    VE Amp remote wiring, behind glovebox?

    So I had a little play and found out the LOC i'm using will do an auto remote output, not too sure on how though as there is very little online about this particular Focal LOC. It has a +12v, Ground and remote connections. I tried connecting the +12V straight to my battery, the ground to...
