Try a Tungsram +60 style globe (50440mpu part number via repco/covs I think) they give upto 60% more light output without uping the wattage....thus no need to upgrade wiring etc!! Regards Guy

You can wire an extra switch on either setup to boost the main battery if it becomes flat if you wish - you can start off of the second battery. With the smart soliniod once the main battery power gets low (still able to start the car easy) it disconnects the two batteries. EASY DONE. Does...

Work out if you wish to jump start the primary battery with the secondary. What power requirments the lights etc need. If you want to forget about it when finnished. Locate a spot for the second battery in the boot. Buy the following parts: 1x battery box 1x battery 2x battery...

Please tell me you did NOT get the Tx valve done by the same person and then pay him again for the gas!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He should have been able to pick this up when he tested the system in the first place if he was worth a pinch of salt. For future reference make sure the airflow is checked...

The compressor is easy to replace but leave the o'rings to the experts as it is easy to damage them. Do not change the compressor until the system is flushed right otherwise you will be in the same spot in about two weeks. There is NO filter between the compressor and the condensor....make...

On the passengers side of the car just in front of the firewall is a canister style thing that is either silver or black. it has a pipe that goes into the firewall and a hose that goes to the compressor. On the drivers side of it is a little pressure switch with two wires connected to it...

I did a post about a year ago on how to fix this problem.....very easy. Change the Thread date and have a look. regards Guy.

These symptoms are normally associated with either a blockage in the fins of the condensor or radiator OR the airflow is low (bad fan airflow). Check the fins first (blow out with air rather than flush them with water as this can expand the grass seeds if in the fins). Then make sure that the...

This was talked about about a year or so ago.....might be worth having a look!! I'm sure the problem was found. Regards Guy.

Don't run the A/C if its not working right....the system requires the gas in the system to allow the oil to go around the system and into the compressor...so YES it will cause more damage if you use it. VS/R compressor is the only one that will fit your car. The resistor is under the...

Compressor on most Commodores is on the lower passengers side of the engine except on v8's which are on the drivers side. Check to make sure it has a belt on it and that the centre part of the front of the compressor can be turned by hand (with the engine OFF obviously). Condensor is in...

Make sure the heater tap is working by switching it on and off and seeing if the lever on the heater tap moves (drivers side near wheel arch) car should be running. If it does let the car cool down if you let it warm up more than two minutes. Then run the car with the a/c on full cold and see if...

some info for some of you. An A/C system SHOULD be serviced (like the oil in the engine) every two (2) years at least...any longer than this then the oil and any moisture in the system can cause all sorts of problems to the system. If it is not working then there is a reason for it not to...

At least if I was in jail (don't think thats how we spell it here) I'd have had more sex than being married!!! Nope Just changed jobs to a sales rep that has taken more than enough of my time taking up about 14 hours a day. Good to see I've been missed................. My time has been...

Pull the glovebox out (pin inside it on the right side, pry it out) Look behind where the glovebox was change the controls for your vents and see if the flap moves behind there (white curved flap). Make sure nothing is jammed in there and that the flap is actualy connected to its vacuum...
