just fiddling with my car so thought i would check for you,my reading with 20 v dc selected was .15. i have had this radiator for 5 years and all looks well.dont know if thats your problem though. i have a vp 5 litre. cheers fergi

hi guys occasionally my battery and abs lights come on together on the dash panel,they may not come on for a couple of days then all of a sudden they come on and off for a few minutes.if the car is turned off and restarted they dont come back on,doesnt seem to be doing anything to the car but...

hi, anyone had a steering rack done lately on a vp exec,what price are they and did you do the job yourself,i think my rack needs doing but cant be bothered really doing it myself and i reckon the mechanic will only take about an hour cheers fergi

hi foam,just a follow up on your vp v8 queries,i have a vp 5 litre as well,160,000ks,mine has tacho as standard,2k increments on the speedo,cruise,irs,abs.a point on your aircon,somone in one of the posts said that the air con compressor will still run if its out of gas,this is not correct as...

looks like valve stems on start up with a bit of over rich fuel mixture at the end fergi

well i think you are wrong about the six cylinder tickford,it doesnt put out 200 kw in fact the first tickford to put out anything like that power was the 1997 EL falcon which was done by tickfords and in fact it was the v8 motor that put out 200 kw after being tricked up by if i remember...

ok heres what i reckon you will get at the rear wheels,with those mods you will have about 220 kw at the flywheel,that is about 280/290 hp,you loose about a third of your power through the gearbox,tailshaft,diff,so the power at the rear wheels would be around 190 bhp, cheers fergi

another problem that happens somtimes is if its an auto the gear selector somtimes doesnt quite sit at the proper position and it needs just a slight touch to get it cranking,theres a switch in there that stops the motor from starting in gear fergi

well the problem that you probably have 97 sen is your expecting a bit too much from your 5 litre,i have a vp 5 litre which has a cam,chip,exhaust,head work,now when it was stock i had the same opinion in that it seemed a bit lazy,if you are driving around town best to leave the auto in the...

sounds like valve stem guides,usually what happens is when you park the car for the nite the hot thin oil runs down your valve stems overnite and then in the morning when you first start the car this oil is burnt off,thats why you mainly see it first thing when the motor has had time to sit and...

hi guys,had my front window in my vp cracked last week by some wanker in the car park.looks like they threw a rock,got the bullet hole look and a crack across part of my window,looked on my insurance and i dont think it covers windscreens anymore,i think that the insurance companys are now...

i know how you feel,going back a few years ago i had a phase 2 falcon GTHO,it was blue printed motor ,extractors,solid lifters,different cam ,etci used to take it in about once every 3 months to get it dyno tuned,even then i used to say to the guy that owned it ,i dont want you or anyone else...
