I have recently bought a vl and was wanting to get a new set of wheels. After researching I believe 17/8’s all around would be good. What I was wondering was how much offset would I need to get a nice flush look?

Hey guys, Looking for opinions and previous experience here. The windscreen on my VL has a crack right in the drivers field of vision. It might just be small enough for a repair, but it might not - will find out this week. This car has absolutely no rust beside the odd stone chip, and I’m hoping...

Hey guys. First post here - still trying to figure my way around the site. Just wondering whether anyone’s had any luck replacing the original floor mats in their VL? The previous owner must have thrown or lost them, and it’s abit hard to find someone willing to part with theirs. There are a...

FINAL UPDATE: The fuel tank was full of ****, which clogged the fuel pump. Cleaned the tank and replaced the fuel pump, now the car works perfectly. UPDATE 3: So i took my car to a mechanic, he said the problem was the MAF sensor, bought a new MAF sensor... Still has the same problem. I am...

My partner and I are having a baby and while we are excited it means I have to sell my beloved coupe. I'm looking to buy a VL Commodore 86-88 and I just need to know if it has anchor points for child seats that are legal in WA? Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Cheers...

Hey there. My VL was leaking fuel from the injectors, hoses and fuel pump.. And kept stalling. The last time I had it running it stalled every time I tried to accelerate. I pulled it apart to do injectors, and realized all the hoses are still original (they're all cracked) I know it's a big job...

I just filled it with 4l of oil. Read the specifications on line and I They seem to recommend only 2l. What should I do? Also can someone explain how the shifter goes in. It clips in and there's a white ring that sits in there with a metal c shaped run with holes in it. Then I have another...

So I bought one on trademe but it was too small for my clutch pressure plate, so I'm assuming it is not an rb30 flywheel. Would anyone have any idea what type of rb flywheel it is? Just less diameter than it should be. Also I now need to buy a new flywheel, how can I be sure it is a rb30...

Im sure something similar has been asked before but here goes anyway. I need to remove the rb30e from my vl because its dead at the moment and im replacing it with a 20e for now. disgusting i know. This is the first engine swap i will have done but i am planning to do more so im getting some...

Hi all My trusty VL Commodore has a slight issue I'd like to fix - the bonnet/hood pops open just fine, however when closed it sitts slightly up, so that the bonnet panel sits up about 1cm above the front guards on both sides. I suspect it is an issue to do with the latch with the spring in the...

Hi All, Just wondering if anyone knows whether any of the models from VB through to VL came out with a black interior? Or moreso black seats? I ask this as I'm looking at buying some seats and they seems to be the same velour material that was in a vl executive but black. And they are...
