- 1992 VP SS Commodore
Just got a VP SS. It has it share of faults so I'm going to list them here and fix them one by one - I might add more when I discover them
Driver's side sunvisor clip (broken)
Rear driver's side electric window (Not going up or down)
Air conditioner components missing (under bonnet - cylinder thing)
Brakes (Needs new rotors and pads)
Wheels (Need alligning and balancing)
(Centre caps missing - Starcorp)
Headlining (Needs replacing due to sagging)
Wiper squirters (Not working)
Paint (Respray and dent removal)
Bonnet (Latch not popping)
Brake lights (When parkers are on and brakes pressed left parker and left brake light do not work - fine without parkers)
Handbrake cover (Ripped - needs replacing)
Odometer (Not moving)
Dash lights (Hazard, Demister etc side - no back light)
Rear Demister (Not working)
Door Locks (When key turned to unlock they go up and down about 5 times then finally re lock)
Horn (not working - Momo steering wheel)
Power mirrors (not working)
Interior Light (Not working)
Major Service - Oils, Coolant, Filters, Spark Plugs, Leads.
-----------------------------
So far that's all! Ha!
So onto fixing it -
The brakes will probably be the first thing (Major cash wise) - I'm going to pop into Supercheap and see if I can find the DBA Slotted rotors I've heard mentioned on here for about $100 each and see if I can get 4 - then it's pad time - Suggestions on that? Haven't looked too into that yet.
I have to buy a handbook so I can pull the car apart - and then be able to put it back together again hehe - so will do that ASAP to get into fixing the bits and pieces.
Then I'll get all the items for the major service and have some fun doing that.
Pictures are worth a thousand words - so I'll post some up when the weather gets better.
