Sorry about your father, assuming your parents had you at around the same age mine did, it was too soon for him. You can list the car in more places than just the one. Personally, I'd go with facebook marketplace because it's free and ebay motors over gumtree, because both ebay and gumtree...

Holden used Loctite 609 - the anaerobic one. It cures in the absence of air (the opposite to traditional thread lockers and glues and whatnot), so not until the bolts are screwed in and air can't reach the threads. This is the stuff here. I use it for repairing the captive nuts in laptops, but...

I based my assumption that they were off a VX based on the 00-Jan marking. The 00 is an abbreviation of the year 2000, when they stopped producing the VT and began producing the VX. I think it's fairly safe to assume they weren't still churning out new rims for VTs that late in the game.

What? Did you reply to the wrong question maybe...?

Bought. You bought some rims. Bring is to brought as buy is to bought. Also, wonder doesn't have a 'u' in it. That said, a photo would help remarkably, but going by the numbers you've got there, I'd say they're off a VX and they're 15 inch. Provided you have 15 inch wheels on your VX, they will fit.

That's what I figured, given the nice little Samsung bluetooth setup it has.

They have different back windows to the each other (different patterns in the demister lines), but I don’t know if that’s related. What makes me think it’s aftermarket is that I own two VTs (a Berlina and an Olympic) and a third VX (it’s an Exec though) and none of them have rear antennas. The...

I have two identical VX Berlinas and one has a back window aerial and the other doesn’t. I think the one with the rear aerial is aftermarket.

No, I'm more concerned about the implications of the term "windward passage", but I think like a 10 year old a lot.

Oh wow... I've just noticed your street name... that's a hell of a name to have to look people in the eye and say.

I thought she was joking? ....oh wait....

I hate to be a buzzkill, but you obviously performed zero research on exhausts before you made these decisions, or you'd have not made them. What you've done to your exhaust reminds me of those people who get drunk at parties and agree to let their mate Dylan try out the tattoo kit they bought...

I can sell you some cheap, but they're cracked. (The light/dark colour is just because I thought I'd wash them before taking the photo but then I didn't have the patience to wait until they'd fully dried, so yeah, they're just a bit wet is all. They're a nice even shade of "20 years in the sun...

My advice is that unless you want to be on a first name basis with the Highway Patrol that you don't make it any louder than it no doubt already is.

Did you remove any of the bulbs by any chance? If so, take them back out, turn them 180° and reinsert. Now try.
