Id say its time you replaced your car with something more current. No use in spending money to polish a turd.

Dude if he wanted polishing advice, He would of posted in a different section.

Nothing wrong with an older car. But I think it might work out cheaper if you ask an auto elect to take a quick look.
tell him you have a $100 budget to work with and if its going to be over that don't worry about it.

Telling him to buy another car, just because of a few problems, pff. Its not like we've all got rich mummies and daddies to pay for our cars like some people on here obviously do.

I think you may have issues with your bcm as that controls almost everything in the car

Typical VE owner. they all think that older cars arent worth the time or money compared to the newer ones. its alright if you can afford the repayments on a VE but if you cant and your stuck with a VR like me then you have to do what you have to do. no 2 ways about it

Quite frankly I feel the VR VS is a far better car than the VE. The VE is just a plastic fantastic with a lasy 6ltr engine. My Supercharged V6 is quicker and easier on fuel.

I just turned down a new VE SS and kept my VX Calais. Better luxury, better ride and better performance and far better on fuel.

So Keeping the VX and we got a TM 6speed auto Barina for the Mrs instead.
