Hi okay i own a 1986 SL VL Commodore and really the only this i have had done since i brought it 2 months ago is had extractors fitted but for some reason the engine is getting really hot the radiator coolant has been replaced and switched the tiny 12 inch thermo fan to a larger 16inch thermo fan but still it is getting hot any idea's on this matter the engine has only got 195,000k's on it and its a manual. (could it be the water pump is on its way out and how would i check that?)
Does anyone else manual gearbox get hot like hot enough to radiate heat into the car itself its not really that hot but i can feel heat coming from that area and im just wondering if there's very little heat sheilding on the stock commodores and if there is should this be somthing to be worried about of not,
My Brother being that impressed with my vl went and brought a 1988 exec and for some reason it starts fine when cold but if you run it for say 10 minutes then turn it off then try to start it again it does not start untill its cooled down again, could this be a problem with the vacuum modulater.
and lastly does anyone know where i could get my car repainted in nsw i dont want any custom painting or decals just want royal blue on top and silver on bottom
