Hmmm split decision! I will do some more testing later tonight. You would think the rotors and what have you would be given the A-Ok from the RWC and also the service it got before I bought it (Just checked the invoice, rear pads were replaced but not the front. They must have had some use in...

Doing roughly 80Km and I applied the brakes moderately hard to come to a full stop. I got a kind of grinding shudder feeling from the front of the car and felt it through the pedal quite easily. I would say braking performance was not very good and I definitely got an adrenaline rush feeling...

Thank you Gradz for the compartment I really do appreciate it! You've made my car look much nicer now that it's fully intact as it should be! Now I resolve NEVER to touch the bloody thing for fear of it breaking!

Checked all the wires they all go to the correct spots. Plugged in the stock unit and yes I can hear the low white noise sound in between changing tracks on CD. This should move the cause elsewhere now? Crap speakers or poor stock speaker wires?

Would I be able to return it for an exchange since I installed it myself? Purchased from Super Cheap...

I dont think it's to do with the antenna. I switched over to FM and then quickly switched to F-AUX and I can still hear the noise while the antenna is up. FM while muted = no noise. USB = Noise playing and while muted. F-Aux = Noise playing and while muted. Gonna have to rip it out again later...

Thanks I will look into it. I want to 100% confirm it's linked to the antenna first and if so I will have a look at the grounding first before I resort to changing wires around. Is this a common issue?

I have found that there is no hiss with FM! Aka the antenna must be the ground? I hope there is a simple fix for this :( Edit: more details... Hiss is present when playing from USB/CD anything that has the antenna turn off and retract into the car. Is it possible to have the antenna stay up...

So I just replaced the stock H/U in my VX with a JVC one still rocking stock speakers. Once I get to around a volume of 10 I start hearing hissing/noise. It changes if I lower the EQ settings from +6 down to 0 and the same for treble. **** head unit? **** install? **** stock speakers? What can...

I'm such an idiot! Wish I had found this thread sooner - https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/installing-aftermarket-head-unit.167046 He literially just forced the damn thing in there and it worked! I didn't need to bother spending $20 for the FP8018 part at all! All sorted! Off to...

I did that they gave me 4 that fit for $2 bucks alas they're not flat on the top and protrude out. I can FORCE the bracket/head unit in but then it pushes on the sides of the cage enough that I cant get the 4 dash screws in! GRRRRRRRR! Basically I'm going to need the same screws with a flat...

I need some screws to mount my head unit into the Aerpro FP8018 I wasn't supplied with any! What kind do I need :)

That little trim opposite the drivers side mirror is meant to direct warm air onto the drivers side window to keep it from fogging up but in my car it doesn't work very well at all. I have to crank the fans onto full with maximum heat to feel just a trickle of warm air coming out. If I open the...

Well I purchased a head unit. I just need to get a bracket I think so I can put it in. I flicked through a Aerpro book at JB and it appears there is a new product out for VT/VX which is model FP8018. It's a double din Fascia. Then all I need is the Aerpro universal compartment that clicks in...

I'm really not sure what head unit to go for in my VX. It's running stock right now so I'd really like to upgrade to something that supports USB/Ipod etc. I'm happy to keep everything stock for now but I want the option to add sub/amp later on so 2xRCA out is what I will be looking at. I also...

That's the battery I got. About $3 from a Jay Car reseller.

I didn't get it? :(

I just finished putting a new battery in my spare key and it worked. Problem was that it took me well over 2 hours to do because I made a poor decision to break off the original battery thinking it would make the process easier. So wrong! I was stuck trying to get a metal terminal out from the...

$60 for all of the front centre one - Vt vx commodore centre console drop down compartment | eBay $30 for the middle one - VT VX COMMODORE CALAIS STATESMAN SS REAR COMPARTMENT CONSOLE PART | eBay So pretty much $100 bucks for some compartments that are going to probably break again :( I'm...

Hope it's ok to bump an old thread but my car is completely missing the door and one of the clips is broken. How much is it going to cost to get a new door and a new clip? Btw when I say clip, I mean where the door hinges at the bottom right. Edit: is there also one of these on the centre...

Can anyone tell me how to get the inner door mirror trim on for a VX2? It was broken on my car and I've glued the clip back together. Alas it seems I'm going to have to remove all or some of the inner door in order to clip it back on?

I'm thinking of taking the car back to the guy who did the rwc. The car isn't safe at all at night! Drove on the highway at 110km and I could not see ****! Surely shouldn't need high beam on a highway! One of the Parker globes is dead too he obviously missed that. Not sure what to do this is a...

My rear pads were changed by a mechanic this week. Braking under normal city driving through I can gear the rear drivers side squeal. Is this normal or what? I feel I should either call the mechanic up and ask him or rip the wheel off and have a look myself. Mind you I've never changed brakes...

wow lots of replies! I didn't get to attach images because I had to wait for mod approval. Here are pictures: Nice and clean right hand side. Dirty/cloudy left hand side. The difference is much more obvious in person. And as I've just found tonight, more obvious during the night...

Got the car today and it has just passed RWC. However they had an issue with the left hand headlight it wasn't as bright as the other one. They've tried cleaning it or something and now it's all cloudy and yuck compared to the right hand side which is beautifully clear. Can I get a new cover...
