Yeah that's no suprise because the heater doesn't go hot only works on cold but I have a vb and that is set up the same so is it a common fix? I wonder if this might work it looks the same

Hey all I have a vh slx 202 and I have a pin hole in this smaller hose, was wondering what it is called so I can get a replacement can't seem to find a decent diagram in my books of the car. Thanks

Your photo is taken from underneath and mine is taken from the top with the box around shifter removed so it’s bare but are vk ones different then vh?

Yep that’s what I have done but it just jams up when I put it in gear so it must be the part underneath like in my photo that also guides it that mine has been cut. that grey auto console you put up still has the surround on it I need to know what it looks like under that if possible?

Can you put up a photo of yours in the same state as mine so I can see it please I can’t find any photos online with it bare like that I will make the pieces and rivet them in if need be if I can see what they look like.

This is how it looks underneath is there a bit missing out of the back area it looks to have been cut? I get it all sitting in nice and it just binds up when I shift it out of park like it has nowhere to go at the rear when it slides back. Any help appreciated thanks.

Interesting you guys say that because they clearly have different part numbers and say on the site they are definitely different. I may have to ring them tomorrow and find out what the story is

Hey team I have a vh slx New Zealand spec so blue 202 trimatic. It never had a shifter indicator slide around the shifter so I bought one from rare spares which there are two kinds low and high console. My car has the high centre console so I’m assuming that’s what they are meaning but it seems...

Hey mate I’m looking to start rust repairs on mine and mine is in similar condition if not a bit better and have had a chat to a guy that does good quality resto work and he reckons 20k for all the rust work and door gapping and getting it all mint then a painter said another 12k to paint so...

Yeah they are up in price here as not a lot of good stuff on the market, people paying up to 8k for base model cars that need rust repairs and paint and aren’t roadworthy, my panelbeater I use seems to reckon even at 20k for a car with good body is a good deal if it has no rust and tidy paint.

Has anybody fixed rust in this area on a vb commodore or similar? Just wondering if it’s a common rust spot or whether I might be able to get a cut off another car or whether to get a panelbeater to fab one up for me. Thanks

So after finding out the outrageous panel costs needed to panel and paint my vb I have spent the last 6 months looking out to see if there’s much better around as a base, I have looked at 3 cars for around 20k and all were meant to be rust free tidy cars, turns out 1 of the 3 was a rusty bogged...

I could probably change the diff for a vl 25 spline borgwarner with discs on it easily enough are they much stronger then a small Salisbury? Just trying to steer clear of needing to go t5 which are about $4000 or so these days and a 28 spline v8 diff like I would need with a 308 since they are...

I’m looking at a really tidy vb wagon at the moment it’s a red 202 with the m20 manual I was thinking along the lines of converting to a 253 at some stage if I get it with the reasons being I wouldn’t have to upgrade the diff as the 253 cars used the small Salisbury, also an m20 would also...
