Hi all, Long version - Wife's car lost all refrigerent the other day, we took it to the auto elec and he told us the condensor had died or something along those lines. I told him I had my old VS at home for wrecking and he said I could save some money if I take the condensor and drier out of my...

Hey all, In the process of stripping the VS's car audio gear I tried to pull the 12v power cable through the firewall a bit too hard and snapped this metal thing with a hose coming out of it - wondering what it is, and can the car still be started/driven without whatever I broke? Won't fix...

I know it's not a commodore but you guys are geniuses so I thought, why not lol... I just got an AU1 Futura to replace my VS Commodore. In the Commodore I had components in the front (tweaters in the dash, 6.5" woofers made to fit in doors, splits on the fuse cover door and amp in the...

No longer for sale ** no longer for sale **

Please disregard already bought them

Hi all, Just asking for a small favour - I need photos of VR/VS's without the left hand guard on. Mine was in an accident and I want to make everything straight again but I don't know what straight is or how it should be looking. All help appreciated

Hey all, I want to purchase 2 bumpers from another member in the forum but they live over 2 hours away; is it possible to arrange for a courier to pick up the items and deliver them privately (neither of us is a company)? I had a look at Couriers Please and TNT but was at a loss as to how to...

Just a really quick couple of questions - What is a Vacuum Ball, do all VS V6's have one and is it important? Thanks

WTB - (preferably White) VR-VS Front/Rear Bumpers & LH Guard My car was in an accident and I need a VR/VS Rear Bumper in Alaskan (white) though could settle for a different colour factoring in the cost to respray to white. I will pay reasonable prices, preferably in Northern Suburbs of...

Sup all, I want to pinstripe my tail lights some how (VS), but first I wanted to see some customised (tint, pinstripes, reshaped, painted etc.) lights for inspiration and maybe get some tips on how to do it. I've seen a blue BA Falcon with colour coded pinstripes over the whole lights which...

I've had my GF for 2 years now (practically lives with me) - small white, petite thang, cooks for me, always been good to me. I go away on holiday for a week, come back and something just doesn't seem right. I asked my Father if he had seen anything happen with my GF and he acts clueless. So...

Not important but have seen a few cars with W stickers on their windscreens, black W on white background with a yellow diagonal stripe... curious as to what it means

Has anyone tried the latest build of the peoples linux, K/Ubuntu 9.04? I'm downloading it now, going to kill this Win7 install and we'll see how far I can get (I always seem to hit something which makes me keep going back to Windows). There's an article here and you can get it Download Ubuntu |...

Hey everyone, There's a lot of brilliant people in this forum so hopefully someone will know if this is possible or not. The cordless phones we have suck (compared to a mobile). We have many spare left over mobiles that don't have a job any more and I wanted to know how possible it is to use...

There's been a few threads over the past weeks about the stimulus package (all aspects of the budget, not just the payment), though all ended up getting locked because they were too similar and had people asking when they were getting their money, but that meant there wasn't even one place to...

Hey all, After a couple of days of the car having trouble starting (starter is working but ignition and getting the thing up and running seems to take a bit of time) I decided to check error codes after the check engine light came up this morning. I was given: Code 48 - Cam Angle Sensor Code...

Hey all, My XBOX 1 running XBMC (formerly XBOX Media Centre) is getting dated and lacks the processing power to push anything out at high definition. I want need a new media centre box for the lounge, and am interested in the PS3 knowing it can do HD. I have all my media on this PC box...

Just two quick question for those in the know. My camera's a Kodak ZD710. Not super amazing but not too bad; a bridge camera. I was looking on eBay at the lenses and so fourth and saw 2x and 3x telephoto lenses which can be adapted to the front of the camera with the screw thread. The camera...

Hey, Just noticed that a game thread and a discussion thread were locked (understandably - they are starting to accumulate). What does Admin think about making a new sub-forum of The Pub for "Forum Games and Random Discussions"? These threads were very popular judging by the amount of posts...

Was it me? :p

Been thinking about a few ways we can improve the board - Make it possible to embed YouTube etc. videos directly into a thread (they don't start loading until the video is played so it's not bandwidth intensive) - Some new emoticons to express ourselves better - Dark coloured theme - General...

I'll start off with 2 questions - I don't have a VT or a Monaro, just out of curiosity I wonder if a VT garnish would fit a Monaro boot? I already assume the lights would after modifying the connectors. I've always dreamed of a Commodore Coupe concept (I'm a bit of a dreamer lol)... also does...

Hey all, Just curious if anyone else can view Ten HD? For some reason we can't, just One HD. I can understand them getting excited about launching their One HD but does it need to be broadcast on what is supposed to be Ten HD, as well as One HD? We get it, a new channel, geez. I'm also annoyed...

Hey admin team, Just wondering what happened to my thread in the pub about the gov't internet filter, and what's the board's stance on discussion about said filter (don't want to get myself or the board in trouble from admin team/gov't).

Hey all, Just a really quick question - I know with the 20 pin ATX PSU's it's the green pin and the black pin shorted to make the PSU start without a motherboard. The PSU I need to test is 20 pin + 4 pin (the 4 pin slides into the module next to the 20 pin so the PSU can be used in older PCs)...

Hey all, Has anyone updated their '7 install to 7057 from 7000 (x64), and if so were there any issues with the upgrade (software incompatibilities, unable to start after the upgrade)? Wanted to update this box without wiping everything out... also any issues with activation?

I'm disappointed. I like the FG Falcon more than the VE - and I should, the VE has (from the outside) remained the same familiar car we've known for nearly four years - the FG is refreshing. I'm disappointed that nobodies spotted anything out of the ordinary (mules etc.). I'm disappointed that...

Hi all, When tightening my steering bolt for the last time (it is the last time now damnit) to straighten the boss kit I tightened the bolt too much, now it turns easily and I can't make it tight or get the thing off. Is it safe to leave it like that? The wheel feels a bit loose (not extreme...

Hey all, Am I missing something? I got a boss kit from supercheap which the man said was for a VS Commodore. I went to put the thing in, it scrapes like anything on the plastic cover. Oh and the f*cking horn doesn't work (at all). Is there any method to getting the horn working and stopping it...

Hi wood expert/s, Just wondering if anyone can identify this type of wood for my father in law? All we know is it's for floorboards and it's possibly the type "tongue in groove"? Or something along those lines Any and all help appreciated

Hey all, Just wondering if any of the following would fit on a VS (front or rear) as I'm in need of two bumpers now that my speedo is fixed (they're both stuffed). - VN/VP front (or entire front end conversion) - VN/VP rear bumper - VQ/VR/VS statesman front or rear Don't know about the VN/VP...

Since we don't have a Food and Cooking forum (would be a bit weird on a Commodore message board) I figured this is the best place to post this. I have to know, what's the deal with eggs? When they hit the supermarket they come in refrigerated, then when they go out they go on the shelf without...

The Australian debut of the all-new Holden Cruze headlines Holden’s presence at the 2009 Melbourne International Motor Show. The stunning new small car range will be among no fewer than 25 vehicles on the stand, representing Holden’s broad vehicle offering covering a range of segments, prices...

The all-new Holden Cruze made its Australian debut at the Melbourne International Motor Show today signalling the company’s latest entrant in the competitive small car segment. Cruze is the first of General Motors’ new wave of global products and enters Australia’s small car segment equipped...

GM Holden has released the first images of the highly anticipated Volt extended range electric vehicle as it will appear on Australian roads. The images, which show a right-hand-drive version of Volt sporting Holden badges on its aerodynamic front and rear, were released as part of Holden's...

Hey all, Just following up to my previous thread, here's the story so far in easy to read point form: Broke ribbon cable on the back, speedo stopped working Soldered cable and it fixed problem Pulled cluster in and out a few times causing soldering to come undone Redid soldering (carelessly)...

Hi all, After everything I've been through with my cluster and speed alert not showing the speed I realised I should have just checked for error codes. Code 72 came up the first two times, then it would only show Code 73. Code 72 is Vehicle Speed Sensor which I guess can explain why I'm...

Hi all, Calling on your expertise guys - I actually have the cluster in my hand and the pins that shorted turn out to be Pulse GND and 2 Pulse (or possibly Pulse GND and Right Turn). What happened is the ribbon got damaged so I soldered directly from one point to the pin at the back of the...

Hi all, In a follow up to my previous thread I actually have the cluster in my hand and the pins that shorted turn out to be Pulse GND and 2 Pulse (or possibly Pulse GND and Right Turn). What happened is the ribbon got damaged so I soldered directly from one point to the pin at the back of...

Hi all - I originally posted this in VR/VS but since the clusters are nearly the same I figured I'd give it a crack here? Recently my cluster broke (my fault, broke the ribbon cable on the back) making the speedo not work. I tried to fix it by soldering the connection directly but I know I...
