I am currently borrowing a VE and I am just wondering. Is that paint on these really bad? Reason I ask is because it seems to have a couple scratches and it appears the pain is soft as and doesn't offer much in the way of scratch resistance. Also is it normal for the strut top bushes to have...

Due to clubby coming off the road soon for a resto I wanted a new car and here it is. Probably paid a bit too much for it at $4500 but oh well. 2 owner car. 185k kms. Needs a roadworthy and rego but there's some surface rust that needs taking care of first and a potential rear main or sump leak...

Hey there. Have an issue with the power mirror switch not working properly. Now I know you have to get the whole lot but just wondering if it's a simple case of pull old one out put new one in or do you have to pull trim off to swap it over.

Hey there. Need some advice. Grandparents are looking at getting a July 2007 build VE Calais. Bit worried about the timing chain issue they have had though. Any way to know for sure whether the motor has the revised chain? They guy reckons the motor is US stock going by the engine number but I...

Needed a car for all the minions so here she is. Bog stock 2001 VX Berlina 7 seater. Pretty good nick. Headlights need to be either cleaned or more likely I will just replace them. No real plans for the moment. Maybe a better set of wheels. Stereo. Maybe some lowering. Definitely need to...

So Demonica and I decided we needed a project. Was going to get a Holden Ute of some description but even the most basic ones cost far too much and I was banned from any more Commodore sedans. Did some researching and came across MX 6 Turbos. A little rice rocket straight out of the 80's torque...

Hey gang. So I have an issue with the clubby at the moment. The PCV connection at the front of the rocker covers has pulled away and is now basically not sealing. I believe it is causing an oil leak as well as it's not sealed. I have tried silicon to keep it in to no avail. What other options do...

Thought I would make a thread about Mace Engineering and the 70mm throttle body they offer for the 5 litres/v6 buicks. So after a lot of umming and ahhing and pouring over thread after thread I thought I would take the leap and get a 70mm for the clubby. Took all of a day to rock up on my...

Hey all just a heads up to be wary of Greenfoam. I knew he was flaky that's a given however I have had a bad experience with him and by the sounds of it I'm not the first. It started when Greenfoam did a tune for me. Car would hunt while cruising. Sent him back the tune and told him what had...

Well hoping someone can help me. Replaced the well worn intake gasket on the VR the other day. Went to start it and it was backfiring and carrying on. I thought no drama just put lead on wrong. Checked it all out and all was good. A code for MAP sensor high voltage came up so I checked it all...

OK so I have searched and have found nothing that can help me. In the next month I will be getting diff gears put in the VR. I have already decided I will go with 3.9's as I do no highway driving. So obviously my speedo will be way off. Now I can get a speedo corrector kit fitted up etc. how...

OK so picked up a V8 throttle body for 50 bucks for a laugh. Now doing a search has resulted in no information besides the fact I should do it for extra response. Now some websites say it's bolt on others say it's not. So can any one help shed any more light on how hard or how easy it is to...

Ok so here's the story. Got a set of interceptors (15X7) off a mate for 2 chasers (15X6) Now I find a lot of people tend to paint chasers silver so I was thinking about doing the opposite for the interceptors (painting them black) What's people opinions? If the poll doesn't work I apologise...

OK so now the VR has finally got her new motor but having dramas. Have used all sensors from old motor which was fine as well as the loom and ecu. Now getting a Check Engine light and thermo fans kick in. Error code 15 (Coolant temperature sensor voltage high) is the only problem. How can you...
