I'm in market for some new front wheel bearings. I don't want to get genuine due to cost so does anyone have any recommendation for a decent aftermarket brand I should look for or are they all similar SE asian quality.

Hi everyone, I've got a 2000 VX Commodore with 330K. Still on original factory front wheel hubs. Had a drumming sound which I thought was due to bad wheel alignment/balance. Just got new tyres and balance and another alignment and it is still there. Am I right to think front hubs? or possibly...

Has anyone tried fitting Brembo 4 pot REARS to a VF2 with Calais wheels? Do they fit? Heard contrary info saying only the redline wheels will fit. I know they fit the front, but not sure about the rear seeing they are a bigger rotor.

Is anyone using Brembo NAO ceramic pads, (not REMSA, DBA, RDA or any other brand) with front Brembo's on VF? How is the noise, if any, and are you using the type with or without the counterweights. Did the counterweighted variety lessen noise and did they clear your rims? I want to fit them...

Has anyone used the one man brake bleeder kits. I see they come in two variants. A pressure bleeder which you attach to the brake master and pump up to pressurise a container. Then you open the bleeder nipple and have the fluid pushed out until is bubble free. and a vacuum bleeder which...

Does anyone who has recently replaced their lower idler pulley mount on a VX by any chance remember the socket size for the 3 nuts holding it on? Don't know if it's seized, rounded off or I'm just hopeless but I can't seem to get a socket on there. Thanks

Can anyone confirm that standard VF2 front V8 brake caliper hoses will fit a front Brembo 4 spot conversion? I did read VE to Brembo had an issue as the banjo fitting at the caliper end was different. Don't know if this is the same for VF2

Interested in everyone's opinion. I have a 6.2 with 19k on it and still completely factory standard. It's now out of warranty and wanted to move up to HPR5 from the GF-S. I don't think the extra 10 will be an issue esp considering how loose the LS3 is to begin with. I reckon it prob would have...

Does anyone have the rear storage box accessory fitted from the dealer in their sedan? If so, how has the dealer fitted it. I am aware the wagons have some tie down points but the sedan doesn't and was interested to see how they made it fit. I know I could probably find a work around but I would...

I know it's a "How long is a piece of string" question. I have a dead stock no OTR, exhaust mods', cam etc LS3. What flywheel kW increase would I expect just with a tune? I know making the above mods would increase the gain much more, but I don't want to go that far, just looking for a bit more...

I've had a bit of a nightmare run sorting a power steering (non variable) issue in my VX berlina. First, the 10 year old reco rack died. it leaked from the RH boot, so I ordered and fitted a new reco rack and pump and changed the rubber hoses while I was at it. Lasted about a week until it also...

Anyone fitted NOVSIGHT or NIGHTEYE branded LEDs to a VT or VX? If so, were you able to fit the headlight dust covers back on the hi/lo side and the hi beam side? Thanks

Hi I need to replace my rear inner and outer control arm bushes. I've taken out lower shock bolt and swaybar link but it appears its not dropping enough as the spring still has a fair bit of tension in it. Handbrake off as well. It appears the rubber brake hose is taking some strain as well. I...

I've got a 5.0 CTEK charger. I I have been leaving it connected to my car for weeks and months at a time. I came across a few reports of a potential fire hazard with battery chargers in general and CTEK catching fire. Anyone else heard of this or concerned. The concern I have is I have the unit...

I've got a air mix motor fault code. I have a replacement air mix motor but cant find any info on how to replace it. I can take off some of the dress panels on the side of the centre console but can seem to get in any further. It looks almost like a dash out job but just wondering if anyone has...

Just about to purchase some rear brake dust shields and noticed they list them on the "bay" as fitting VF SSV redline and the HSV AP E2 rear brakes. Can anyone confirm if they are in fact the same rear shield taking into account that the rotors for the SSV with brembos are larger than the HSV...

anyone got any recommendations for oil to quiet down some slightly noisy lifters? I've been told to use a thicker oil which I'm sure would be good once it's hot, but wouldn't it just make it more noisy at start up or when cold? or should I just stick with the recommended 5-30 which would flow...

Anyone have or heard any feedback on DBA 4000XS rotors? Might fit these instead of T3's just to be different. They look a step up from the street series gold with just the 4 slots. These are a bit more expensive than T3's as well.

Has anyone fitted a pair of front VE brembos to a VF. Im aware there is a difference with bolt size/thread. If it can be done, what mods needs to be done to get them to fit? Probably covered already but cant find it in the myriad of other Brembo posts

I have a VX series 1 Berlina with Climate Control with a fault code coming up for the drivers side mix motor. Has anyone replaced this mix motor or does anyone have any idea how to replace it. I have found some info on VE but it appears the VT VX is different. I have looked at the GMH service...

Hi all, I've had a vibration in my car since i got it. Initially I put it down to bad balancing and lived with it. I had the last tyre place try 3 times to get the vibration out. Today I tried another tyre place and they did the regular balancing and a road force balance as well. Road force...

In the Calais leather interior what is actually classed as leather. Now I know it's the PVC coated leather and not full natural, but are all the leather appointments that? My understanding is, front and sides of seats, steering wheel and gearshift are 'leather' Others such as arm rests, piece...

Just wondering if anyone has had experience swapping or removing the fake carbon trim off gearshift surround, main dash fascia and door trims. I think 6 pieces all up. I'd like to swap it for the fake wood grain from the series 1 titanium interior. Dont know if its even available separate from...
