Hi All, Last night I got the back wheels off my VT Calais in preperation to replace the brake pads. I have read on some cars that you can replace the break pads without the need to unbolt the calipers however on the VT Calais 98 I don't think that can be done. It looks to me like the best way...

Hey all, I have a VT Calais Supercharged V6. Mechanically it is sound but the body has some rust and the interior is in fair condition given it's age. I have 2 questions: Is this motor sought after? Where would be the best place to find potential buyers? I need to have a NSW rego...

Hey Guys, My Calais is having a few issues, The supercharger is screwed so I don't have the belt on it atm and it's idling rough sometimes. I got into it today and for some reason it was hunting for idle which it's never done before and when I'd try to make it up to 60km's it would shake like...
