$564. They're a bit more spendy than some brands but pack a punch for their size and good quality.

I can confirm one of these works very well. https://www.milwaukeetool.co.nz/power-tools/impacts-and-fastening/impact-wrenches/M18FMTIW2F12-0.html Fits easily with the fans removed. I took mine off recently at around 420,000 km.

I think it's the rolling diameter that's important. While I don't see the point of having different width tyres on a car like the VXR (it has very good road holding with the standard set up) you might find the rolling diameter is the same front and back. You dont mention the aspect ratio. If...

Leak into spare wheel well fixed. Putting some sealing gunk (plumbers putty) where the rubber seal fits over the seam and re fitting the rubber seal did the trick.

I'd be leaving checking the coils for now. If it idles OK then I'd say the coils are likely to be OK. Sounds like the insulation on a plug lead breaking down, but first check that the plug leads are properly fitted to the plugs and that the ceramic part of the plug where the leads fit over is...

The ZB V6 has active fuel management. I don't know about being able to turn off the Adaptive Cruise function. The Adapative cruise is only on the VXR and Calais. You can turn off the auto Stop/Start. Handling and performance wise the ZB is all over the VE V6, (my wife has a VF S Z series) and...

Sorry, I've not had time to have a look but 39 is probably a good place to start. I got onto the tyre pressure solution when I took the car in to have the tyres rotated and mentioned that the car had grown a tendency to tramline. Straight away they said the problem is probably tyre pressure...

Pleased I was able to help.

Same here. Won't leak for ages then bingo it leaks. I suspect it's coming in around the door seal. Had this issue with the back doors just after I bought it 20 years ago. That got fixed under warranty. Been getting water in the spare wheel well recently. I had a look at this today. Looks like...

It's probably the blanking plate gasket. I put up with mine leaking for several years till I had to do the gearbox last year. I backed the radiator cap off to the first notch. This slowed to leak down considerably without any noticeable side effects. Just keep the water topped up. In my case...

Check your tyre pressures. My RSV with the 18" rims tramlines when the tyre pressures get low. Also my wife's VE Z with 19" rims gets really horrible to drive when the tyre pressures get low. I don't mean low that the tyres look like they're low , just low by a few PSI can make all the...

Most definitely check the routing of the belt to ensure the water pump is turning the correct direction. To my way of thinking if there's no water in the top hose then there's probably no water around the thermostat which means it probably won't open. It also means you likely did have an air...

I might be wrong but I thought the timing chain issues had been pretty well eliminated in the later variants of this engine. I'd be hesitant to rush into replacing the timing chain.

Some people have no taste at all.
