have you done the coils? this may not apply to your situation but 99% of the time its coils that make the vzs stall or miss.

haha thats wicked mate! sounds like a jet. so what was it like before the 3 inch? also whats a pyro gauge and do colorados have them do you know?

Ive got a diesel colorado 2009, in the service book it states valve clearance adjustments at regular intervals. Cant remember maybe 90k. My question is is it really necessary, does ANYONE actually do these things? Like theres plenty of things manufacturers recommend that nobody does and their...

Alternator, thats surprising. Ill check if anything is loose. Codes? No i dont have the tech 2 tool. I was just hoping someone had experienced the same problem. Ill prob book it in at the shop

Just wanna add my 2 cents. I found this thread after i thought the piston was stuck on the rear of a vx i did brakes on. I wanted to check if it screwed in like a 2000ish astra. i had the proper caliper tool and the piston wouldnt budge but after seeing a pic on this site and copying the...

hi guys wonder if anyone knows the issue with my 09 colorado. its diesel, auto, and 4wd. about 6 months ago the warning light came on on the dash, the rev meter stopped working, and the brakes lose their vacuum assist but it mainly only loses it at low speed like going through a carpark, say...

20?!?! without even cam,diff,stall. guess those short trips kill ya. my work is 11km away so round trip of 22km a day i can expect similar.

do different models have different suspension? i would've thought as with most previous models, mainly hsv got an upgrade.

hey guys, i read that holden put 1 billion dollars into developing the ve commodore. people say a lot went into the suspension and it handles like a dream. can anyone confirm? compared to previous models? i bought my mrs a 2010 mazda 3 and the handling is amazing, even in the wet! quite a...
