And I'm planning to add spats

About as helpful as tits on a bull, but I have my reasons. Perhaps something helpful might have been appreciated

You got Warped disc rotor, sure as eggs. Get 'em skimmed, or newbies at your local favourite bits flogger (Supercheap, Repco, etc) Oh, and change your driving habits

I am intrigued by this 'Pad Material left on the rotor' theory. Like, REALLY? The pad polishes the living snot outta the rotor surface, if any pad material is 'Left' on the rotor, it's gonna be buffed off the pad in the very next revolution, if centrifugal forces don't get to it first Who...

No. Nor anything with references to 'Envy'

Got broken into this morning, and 1 key each for our 2 WN Caprices got hoisted, teenage thieves. Cops asked us to take steps to secure the cars (Blocking in with another). I spoke to HCC to find out if a keyfob can be disabled, either by them or via the car, sadly, no. Also suggested an idea...

It's not a faulty rack design, the problem is to do with the electrical connector where the harness plugs into the rack, the connector has to be cleaned, regreased with special dielectric grease. It's a standing recall, and takes about 30 mins to do, altho if your dealer is like mine, they want...

Old thread, but, your electrician is an idiot. New lamp ($157) and a new Ballast ($135) were the most that were needed, and both can be replaced separately Both can be had out of China for a lot less too

TPMS 'caps'? The sensor is actually attached to the inside end of the valve stem. When installed, the wheel looks like it has a regular rubber tubeless valve stem, the metal ones were used in VE/WM cars Regardless, when I got my sensor trigger tool, I had full working TPMS, 4 wheels, both cars...

Same place you check the blinker fluid...

The only solution that was found was that the fuel pump itself was allegedly kaput. funny that the first replacement lasted a whole 4 days. I don't see why your problem would be a hot-engine-only event, because the story goes that the Secondary Open description relates to a fault within the pump...

The Voltage Regulator in your Alternator is fritzed. Go see you local friendly Auto Sparky

Pull your battery for 2 hours Worked for me once with a VS stato

To get this kinda effect

I have a VS project car. The steel wheels don't have hubcap nubs. I wanna put baby moon hubcaps on. The hubcaps I have are the same diameter as the topmost part of the raised rib around the wheelnuts recess. Discuss

Learn how to use the bloody thing. 125,000km and it still works a treat, have had my car sitting on a 40 degree slope with that sucker... Oh, and stop whining about Climate Control, set it to 19C, hit the Auto and Zone to give driver full control, car will stay at 19 degs

The socket was cracked but you kept carrying it around...

Some lag decided to have some fun with ya, at the factory, or dealer, or even a bent n twisted truckie

Why don't we have an 'Ignore' button for twats like this one? Yeah, I know, I might get buttoned too, but...

Bring your Lefty to the NT, we'll register it...

Must be a Queensland thing...The Pillars have to be strong. They have a very severe rake angle, which means an even higher deformation force has to be withstood The steel quality IS good, and I would bet that you won't find any 'crumple kinks' in the sections There is also parts related to the...

D'ya wanna bet?

At 125,000km none of the Creature Comfort items in my MY16 Caprice have let go. Failures to date: Fuel Pump,, and funny behaviour with exterior Rear Vision Mirrors No lamps, no fans, no seats or DVD players, nothing

gerlytrux = Mummy Taxis? Recently had the displeasure of driving a Rav 4 and an X-Trail Both worthwhile holders of the badge of honor: POS! Glad to have my butt back in the Caprice

A few years ago my VR Caprice was giving me grief with the handbrake system, start 'er up, handbrake off, reverse to exit driveway, all pretty normal. Change to D and off you go. But then I would get 'Bee-ba-deep, bee-ba-deep, bee-ba-deep' and nothing else. eventually figgered it was the...

2015 Caprice DGA150220185 2013 Caprice CFP132630911 My MY07 Caprice got re-engined (Both LY7) can get numbers, need a lil time for research

What the Yanks get up to with theirs... https://www.newcaprice.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1340

Hmm, sounds like some fun I had with my car, I had turned off the memory system to overcome it, and had forgotten, but there was a time I could start the car, pick reverse, and 1 or other or both mirrors would move, any random direction. Finish the reversing move, change to D and the mirror(s)...

You must have a peculiar way of sitting, The HUD image in both my Caprices is pretty much directly above the wheel. You can improve the focus by dusting down in the HUD projection area. The best thing I have found is a spray-painters TAC rag, about $2 in the paint dept of Supercheap. If you are...

Electricals... Had the steering thing fixed, during a week or so of fun. Saturday PM 2 weeks ago, came out of the mall, jump in the car, whirrrr---sputter sputter. Click. Whirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr nothing. Dragged it home with help of a friend, we dug out the lil OBD scanner, 2 error codes: P-023F...

Caused by the same trauma that created the white marks on the bottom flange

Prussian is deffo green, it has green in the tint list. A colour not mentioned in the vote list, but I got is Son Of A Gun. SOAG is a blue/purple shaded grey metallic, looks quite nice, I got the car ex factory stock as a paint colour tester. The colour can be had on Captiva and Barina, and...

Here it is, Boys and Girls, the tool to do the job Usage is simple: With the car in Relearn Mode, Hold the stubby antenna to the tyre cheek above the valve stem on the L/H/F wheel. Push the big white button. It beeps, the horn chirps, next wheel. If no beep/chirp, try again, you get 3 tries...

Well, it got worse. After taking a week and a half to replace the fuel pump, and being asked to do the TPMS thing to the girly, I got it back (running) but No TPMS. Service invoice said Suspect sensors were damaged when tyres were changed Bullshit all 4 sensors were giving a reading when the car...

Impact Driver with the proper size Phillips tp (#4 I think) or a regular phillips screwdriver with the strikethru shank, but then u kinda need a helper with a shifter on the shank to apply turning force while you bash...

Mehh, me bruvver's one too, told me that name, n he's cool, rides a Harley (Has 2) and resto's old hens It was actually the clerk that cheesed me off

Anything that keeps that damned titanium colored Alcantara clean hasta be a good thing. I had thought of covering mine with clear plastic film, it gets filthy quite easily

Took my ride into the local OldHen dealer & Spanner-Twirler establishment today, and asked about TPMS sensors. When the black donut boys last played, they managed to swap front wheels side-to-side so that the TPMS now tells me front right is low, its actually front left, kinda thing. I asked the...

Too Bloody Much Alcantara! Looks nice, nasty shyte to keep clean. Don't let the black fool ya

There is no such rubbers holding front 'Crossmember' in place, the cars have 8 bolts holding an almost HQ style front subframe in place, first service at 1500km should have them tightened, anywhere up to 2 turns, most dealers don't
