Looks like a normal double flare nut like those used on brake and fuel lines on a wide variety of Holdens over the decades. What OD is that steel tube? Is it an imperial or metric thread? Try brake repair specialists. Not saying this is what you need but never know your luck in the big city...

There once WAS a Meurican member, can't remember his name. He used to live in Darnald Trump's rectum. Perhaps Marty351 is (besides being a Fomoco lover) his long lost half brother to his cousin once removed?

Assuming yours has failed, contact Injectronics in Melbourne. They should be able to repair it for you.

Don't put 245's on the wider rear rims unless you want it to look

Budgie. Anyway it was the Vet that terminated him, not me. I'm innocent.

We buried Frankie in the back yard in a shoe box.

Well looks like I could be heading to goal cause I'm not responding to this. Nice knowing you all, it's been fun. I'll probably never come out alive. o_O

Our VE has a creaking noise that sounds like coming from the top of the drivers side B pillar. Just turn the music up louder.;)

Call a mathematician, he'll work it out with a pencil.

Does the starter motor make a clicking sound and nothing more or does it spin and/or make whirrrring noises but the engine is not cranking?

11QT29131 is from an early HQ Statesman. Should have a 1971 cast date.

What has happened to Caltex service stations? That licence is no longer exclusive and from 2023 the Caltex brand will be solely used by Chevron. In 2020, Chevron purchased the Puma Energy fuel business in Australia and has started rebranding many of the Puma service stations to Caltex.

Picked up a pair of new OEM front door outer belt moldings for the VZ from Eagers this arvo. Set me back $152.45. A bit cheaper than buying them from ozcarparts on ebay and I got them instantly as they had them in stock. I love instant gratification. :p

Thanks Fu. You got me thinking about a pair of those projector headlights for my VZ Tonner.

I think I read that you have make some wiring mods for them to work if your VZ didn't have them factory fitted?

VT - VZ sedan set of outer door belt weather strips. ebay seller ozcarparts1998 It appears he is selling genuine GM so these items may still be available through a Holden parts dealer. I'm going to check with Eagers parts for my own VZ...

This is one crowd that does aftermarket bonnet insulation, there may be others. Google is your friend. https://trufitauto.com.au/product/under-bonnet-insulation-holden-commodore-vz

My favorite saying for the last 30 years or so "WE are overpopulating ourselves to extinction". (WE being the human race)

In QLD a builder constructing a residential home has to take out Domestic Building Work Home Warranty Insurance with the QBCC (Queensland Building and Construction Commission, formerly the QBSA). The thousands of $$$$$ in premiums the builder pays to the QBCC is of course recouped from the...

Feed in Tarrifs will never attract GST as that would entail your energy retailer paying you, the home owner, the GST and in turn you would have to forward that GST component on to the ATO. The govt does not miss out as GST is charged upon the on-sale of all Feed in Energy to other consumers.

Smoke and mirrors + more smoke.

No, just the servo profits.

Tap a thread into the hole and locktite a bolt in there to seal it up.

The Aussie V8's always had the dipstick straight into the side of the sump.

The attack on the Iranian Embassy was an attack on Iranian soil. I don't support the Iranian govt but I respect their right to reply and reply they did. Netanyahoo may as well have sent missiles/drones directly to Tehran instead.

Israel should just leave it the fcuk alone. They bombed the Iranian embassy in Syria and Iran have responded. So tit for tat, 1 all, call it a draw.

Finally found some time to install the new seat belt today. Better late than never. The new reel assy fitted like a glove in the bottom of the B pillar. The only thing I found was the new supplied bolt that holds the belt hanger/guide thingy to the upper B pillar was too short. I had to re-use...

We are on a 50/25 plan FTTP NBN.

It's all a mind FxxxK. I remember when it was a weekly cycle with the cheapest days being Tuesday or Wednesday. then it slowly stretched out to a 2 week cycle, then 3 weeks, then 4 weeks and now seems to be about a 5 week price cycle. This way no one can escape paying the higher prices in the...

Simply means the amount of excise we pay per km varies based on our choice of gas guzzler.

That is one way you could look at it however if all excise was removed from fuel the govt would have to raise that loss of revenue by another means.. If all vehicles were moved onto a 'per KM' scheme then EV owners couldn't complain that they are being unfairly targeted.......... perhaps?

The fairest thing to do would be to move every vehicle onto a 'per kilometer traveled' tax model and completely remove excise on fuel. Probably not hard to set up automatic reporting and billing for modern electric vehicles that are already connected to their big brother manufacturers but the...

The OP is not filling us in on 'all' the details involved in the chain of events.

I'm interpreting that the OP needed one new left rear tyre (single spinner?). Off he goes to a tyre shop but the shop is busy and the OP doesn't have time to wait around, so the shop suggests they remove the rear wheel, put the spare on and they can fit the new tyre when they have a moment. OP...

The tyre shop should have at least told the OP they had moved the front tyre to the rear and put the spare on the front, and why. If the OP had the tyre shop fit the wheel back onto his car after fitting a new tyre to the 9.5 wide rear rim then this issue wouldn't have arisen.

I'm betting the reason will be it isn't mechanically good for your differential to operate with two vastly different diameter tyres. So best and safest thing to do was put the front tyre on the rear axle and put the std 16" Omega spare on the front.

Microsoft. Because of my impending email address closure if I don't pay The Message Company to host it I created a new Outlook email addy on Friday for my business. I'm not hugely tech savvy so I patted myself on the back for setting it up and getting it to work. Yesterday I added it to Mozilla...

All the rage now isn't it. And the badly bent axles. lol
