Problems with the VN Commodore

[Abigeus]

Thanks Pretender,

thats all the info i need, and no i ain't a competent mechanic but i have a friend coming with me who is (although he owns a ford :w00t: ) and if we can't find to much wrong with it i'll get the RACQ to have a look at it. I'll post what i find on a new thread tomorrow and see what you all reckon. Thanks for the help.

Lights

Check for cracks on the top outer edge first. Most water enters the lights from between the lens and the body though, seal this and it fixes it in most cases.
Water also enters the boot this way.
In some cases it can be rust holes under or around the boot seal or below the rear window. Some of the water makes it's way to the tail lights when you accelerate.
If the tailights have moisture in them check the boot for rust and that the lights work. Unless the lenses are damaged, at worst, you may have to replace the bulb sockets if they are corroded and seal the lens at the top. The light sockets are cheap and you can get them from any Auto Shop.
