Nothing new happening, just fixing problems with it....

Changed the radiator a fortnight ago as it split an end tank...... & now my temp gauge seems to go up when sitting in traffic then goes back to normal when I start driving, going to change the thermostat and see if that fixes anything. If not it's a visit to the mechanic's on Tuesday....

Ahh no good, did you bleed all of the air out of the system??
Use an old radiator hose to put in the filler neck of the radiator to help

Or have you done a water pump recently? If not could be that?

Hope she's still looking shiney as always though

See how it goes

could be a heater valve tap just get one at repco or autobarn i had this happen twice to me

yeah i changed the heater valve about a year or 2 back... when that happened I found water leaking down the rails etc etc....

Going to test it properly in a minute

Finally fitted my VZ SS rear seat, 6x9 speaker spacers to allow me to slide my sub all the way to the back of the boot & got a mechanic in Moorebank to adjust my daughters baby seat to be front facing.....

Back seat looks soo much nicer than the VT Exec trim, now just need to go on the hunt for a matching front set.

Old

New

And just a picture because I can...

If someone wants my old VT rear seat it's free to a good home....

 

[Timmos]

Very nince mate.. certainly is an improved look from the VT execo seats.

Think it will be hard to get your hands on some front seats too?

 

[rch-13z]

Maybe, been looking on ebay and haven't come across a set yet.... Not really worried atm. Pretty sure the SV6 range would have the same fabric without the nice "race" type seat the SS fronts are....
