My door locks are sticky on drivers door, sometimes not fully unlocking, i suspect the actuator is on its way out. Are the door lock actuators the same for the drivers door and passenger door? Also, does anyone know if door lock actuators work on the VP SII from other models like VN VP VQ VG...

Does anyone sell actual VP tail lights or are all the OEM replacements for VP based on VN style? My tail lights have plastic lines that line up with the center garnish like this (vp style)... Unfortunately, I'm unable to find a replacement that has those lines it it, and also the indicator...

My rear outder door handle snapped and looking for a replacement however i don't know what models will fit and look the same as the vp. Will the VR/VS VQ and VN vn/vp hsv, ss Outer door handles fit and look the same as the VP commodore?

Hi, its the lever inside the vehicle. im looking at getting a replacement, i have no idea how the cables would connect to the levers tho.

Unfortunately, today i managed with little pressure to snap of the boot lever while trying to access the boot. (nexto drivers side door/seat) Does anyone know how to replace this part or any tips to do a temp fix?

Thanks guys, i got it and it resolved my indicator not resetting after turning, however the main issue is still there. Recently my High beams will not work. Normal lights work fine. With normal lights on, if u pull back on the indicator stalk for hold on high beams, nothing happens, normal...

Okay thanks. im confused becuase the replacement stalk size is slightly more thicker, alltho stating its for my vehicle. https://www.holmart.com.au/holden-indicator-stork-vn-vp-vg-vr-vs-vt-vx-series

Is the series 1 indicator stalks the same for series 2? no cruse control?

I'm looking at insurance for my car but it is hard to value as there is not many left for sale in good condition. Currently looking about about 10k with shannons insurance full comp for about $85 a month. They said i can increase the value of the car if i wanted but i dont know what amount. VP...

vp commodore series 2 with 23i trim code.

I'm in way over my head here, i was hoping to simply get colour matched can and spray away. Thanks for the help, Ill call around tomorrow and try to find genuine part and call the panel beater and get a quote, ill try to avoid painting myself as much as possible, if no luck ill have no choice...

It seems like it might be cheaper to just take it to a painter than buying all the stuff required for this project?

Hi mate. I'll call around tomorrow and see what's available. what was preventing me from doing this was that i was worried that a second hand one will be brittle plastic and break like mine did when i bend the trim into its slots it cracks in the middle when brittle.

I recently had the roof lining fixed but unfortunately it broke the rear window plastic trim. I'm unable to find a genuine replacement in the same colour but i did find aftermarket ones on Ebay but they are not the correct colour. How do i go about painting to match my trim colour? The trim...

I will try this tomorrow, thank you. I found out the the lock is not fully coming up its only coming up half unlocked.

miss type

RAA just left, He thinks the actuator has **** itself possibly by water dripping down inner door past seal onto the solenoid, thus its stuck in deadlock. He suggested breaking the inner trim to get access and buying new inner trim to replace, however inner trims are getting more expensive and...

will give them a call and report back.

Hey mate. Thats a relief that all doors don't need to be open for rooflining. Can you point me in the right direction on to how to "pop the locks old school"? im assuming it will be against TOS to explain here. As for the raa dont the use a tool to slide in under the window and pull the lock...

VP executive. I'm getting the rooflining sag fixed next week and assuming all doors will need to be open for the process? so when i went to open my rear left door that i never use, the handle is loose on inside and out. It's not grabbing anything. It feels like its deadlocked but with no...

Update for anyone with same issue: Intake manifold gasket was the culprit. Gasket kit $50 coolant $20 labour to fix if cbf doing yourself $200-400 (got mine done for $200 with flush)

Does the rubber around the rear windscreen on the vp pull out like in this video? If so would it be able to be reinstalled without a professional? Im thinking of just pulling out the rubber and then attack the rust as best i can then reinstall the rubber seal.

Thanks for all the replies! Yes a very expensive lesson. Had a budget of $10,000. I have spent roughly $5000. Also have another $3000-$4000 that i planned to spend on body work. Most of the work i payed others to do it. My skill set with cars is limited. I do have experience working with...

When it comes to cars i am clueless, so i turned to some friends and family for some advice on what to do with my old VP commodore. The options were to sell and get something newer or keep the VP and fix it up. The responses were unanimous that i should keep the vp. They would say things like...

will do looking to buy some atm. I hope its this mate, I did another run today and got about 9.63 seconds.

Ill book another trans service see how that goes. The oil seems fine and changes gears as it should when driving.

I have spent about 6 grand in the last month doing everything from full suspension, service, exhuast. i have run injector cleaner and run 98 ron fuel with the injector cleaner in it. Only think i havn't done service wise is check the leads, new spark plugs (mine are not old anyway) and a new...

I'm not expecting insane times but mid 11 second is really bad. My uncles vp still does about 7 seconds stock more ks than mine. I wish i kept my old VP ss mags but i thought the vt ss mags looked way better, little did i know at the time it ruined my acceleration :(

yes, VP v6 series 2 auto

I have not looked at the shift cable at all. I'll get on it. I have a friend telling me that ever 1 inch over stock size of rear tyre will reduce time by about 1 second. I have no idea if this is true but i do remeber when i put this vt ss (17") mags on over my vp ss (15") mags the acceleration...

I have never tested 0-100kmph in this car before and i have owned it for 10+ years. TBH i have no clue the best way to time the car so i just recorded, put in drive and put my foot down. Wish i could manual shift but unfortunately the rpm tachometer doesn't work will be getting that fixed soon...

How is it better may i ask?

You legend mate thank you so much!

It's a 2 wire. Any idea were they sell them? All i can find is this not sure if its gonna work. https://www.jscustom.com.au/store/connectors/8-o2-sensor-connector.html

Vp v6 s2. I was going to replace the o2 sensor as im getting error code 13 after getting extractors installed and i was met with this melted plug. Any ideas if anyone sells replacement plug for the o2 sensor that i can simply splice in?

That would be good if that was the case. Come to think of it i have never changed the top radiator hose nor flushed the system. I have changed 2 bottom return hoses though. That guide is great, thanks! will clean res tank on the weekend. The old coolant looked as good as new and nothing came...

vp executive s2. Today i had to replace a leaking return hose for the radiator and came across black sludge looks like oil but much thicker under the radiator cap and inside the hose that i replaced. There is and always has been since i purchased the car (10 years ago) a tiny bit of black...

That clears things up. Thanks mate!
