The boot will go straight on but you will have no reverse lights. Please please please don't put Monaro tail lights on a sedan.. Yuck! A set of VX tail lights and some modified wiring will give you reverse lights back again. However you will also want to rig up the pull tab inside the boot so you can open it manually through the ski hatch. The lock barrel on the boot was deleted in the VX.
2 bolts if you keep your existing hinges, 4 bolts if you change the hinges too.
In order of likeliness it could be door switch, main switch, regulator or wiring.
Swap the door switches between the rear doors. Does your fault move? If yes, replace the faulty door switch. If no, remove the regulator and plug it into the plug on the other side. Try to operate the other window. Does the regulator move up and down? If yes, replace the main window switch. If no, replace the regulator. If you replace something and it's STILL not fixed, then you need to look at wiring but that's highly unlikely.
Is the air temp sensor even connected?? To install a pod filter correctly there should be a mounting bracket with a hole cut out for the air temp sensor. Without that sensor your car won't run right and without a mounting bracket it most likely isn't installed.
Thanks for all that info mate... so no monaro lights on the VT... ok.. lol... will have to look into the reverse lights thing, I think thats quite important... or else, I'd just get another VT boot from the wreckers.. not too much of an electrical whiz so we shall see...
I think I might have to change the hinges too, since the bonnet doesnt seem totally aligned now.... but that could be the rest of the car too if it was in an accident that the dude didn't tell me about... will check that out too...
Not too fussed about the electric window, but it will be something to look into in the future...
Will check out the sensor on the pod, but will probably change that back to the stock air box soon just coz I have it there and I don't need to make any thing like enclosures and stuff...
Right now I'm looking into doing the door handles and locks for the back doors, then the sun visor clips are broken, but that should be easy from the wreckers, then I want to get the bonnet and boot changed... then I can relax for a while, enjoy the stock-ness of the car for a bit, maybe a month before I get into doing some mods...
But thanks for all the info... if anyone knows any good (hopefully cheap) panel beaters in western sydney, or any wreckers with good VT stock, please let me know... if I can change parts without painting them, that's be great!
Thanks guys... looking forward to enjoying this VT for a long time..
