Hello all,
I'm a newbie to the forum and have just returned to Australia after being overseas for 20 years. I have no knowledge at all about Commodores and am looking for some advice.
My neighbor was kind enough to give me his old VS Commodore wagon (1997) as I don't have a car at the moment, however there are some minor problems with it and I need to fix them to register it. I don't have a workshop manual and have been searching the net for fixes to these problems.
Problem 1, the handbrake lever doesn't stay up and the button at the tip of handle is stuck in. I don't know what is causing it but found a spring about 4 inches long next to the front passenger seat.
Problem 2, the engine light stays on after running the engine for 20 minutes of so at idle, but when you accelerate it goes off. There is no unusual noise coming from the engine. From what I can see, it's an intermittent problem.
Problem 3, the key remote doesn't unlock or lock the doors.
There are other minor problems but they can be fixed easily. Any help with these issues is greatly appreciated!
Many thanks,
Jiyujin
