Hi I recently purchased a El cheapo vy commodore god forbid I'm a falcon person myself but oh well.
The speedo tachometer fuel and temp gauges don't work it shows me the KS but there's not even any light like battery etc when key switched to on.

The headlights don't go only park lamps

The indicator stalk is missing

Front windows stuck down

Bugger knows why I bought it but I just noticed the...
Ignition relay
Power window relay
Blower inhibit relay are all missing
I haven't had a chance to look under bonnet yet, I'm guessing these could be my issues
I'm also wondering what the procedure to install a new indicator switch (stalk) is.
Many thanks

Hi @vycommy1997

this should help you out with the installation of the new indicator. It is straight out of the manual. If you search this site you should find a link to the VT-VZ workshop manual which you can download and sort all the problems on your new beast.

Cheers n Beers

Ecotecs are great engines if maintained and can run forever, I used to own a VY Ecotec and it was a great reliable car... Though you did mention that you bought the car for cheap so any car is a gamble...
