Check and/or clean the Throttle Body, IAC valve as well as your MAF (If you still have one)... it happened to all my LS vehicles.

RIP... and now to a Republic we go and about F' ing time, as the thought of King Charlie just pisses me off.

Your "Tuner" needs a swift kick in the arse... should not have given you the car like that!!! :mad:

LMFAO about Pedders, to use their quote "Straight advice, specialist you understand and... No Bull..." but we will take you to the cleaners, put you into debt for years, rape you and your wallet.

+ Albino Wallaby and Blue Tougne Lizard, for a minute I thought it was the National Geographic Channel.

Simple insurance, change it every 12 months and start it is better than nothing at all... trust me, I had my HJ GTS in long term storage(>8years) and when I checked the oil it said all good, a bit over... thankfully I rang my engine guy and he said "water" can get into the oil simply from...

Sorry but I have had the Chinese Pedders - what a joke compared to TEIN and Bilstein, while the TEIN were great, Bilstein with MRC where the ducks nuts and should have gone with from the start. In the end you get what you are willing to pay for, pay for peanuts and get monkey shite.

Your Holden/HSV dealers are just A--holes that could not care 1 bit about Holden let alone that you have a HSV. I believe you are talking about the Rubber coupling at the front of a 2 piece tailshat... See attached that may help you with terminology used... Good Luck.

As above by rambunctious but would add Heat, small blow torch or heat gun to heat the nut and WD40(not at the same time, lol)

While you have not said how the mechanic cam up with "... the motor is cactus" was this his professional opinion, LMFAO? What proof does he have? Was it the actual piston, rings, lifter, valve spring, valve, injector, spark plug or was rod knock... how about a broken header/exhaust will make...

V6 = 5.6 Litres (includes oil filter) V8 = 6.2 Litres (includes oil filter) As greenacc said, level ground, remove dipstick, let it rest for 5min and check - If it still reads low add 500ml, wait 5min and check again... there should be a change, If there is no change, sorry to ask but who did...

IMHO.... 1). 95% of LS1's tick, they are known for it. 2). Flogging every now and again... no, it's not a Diesel. Go for a long/long drive is preferred, when almost empty fill it with some BP or vPower 95/98RON fuel +Injector clean. 3). If the headers are cracked/leaking you will hear it mostly...
