Came across this VF Commodore Production video on youtube today. Interesting how the assembly line used to work. Apologies if it's been posted before.

The following was developed as a mental age assessment by the School of Psychiatry at Harvard University. Take your time and see if you can read each line aloud without a mistake. The average person over 40 years of age cannot do it! 1. This is this cat. 2. This is is cat. 3. This is how...

Nine Important Facts to Remember as We Grow Older: #9 Death is the number 1 killer in the world. #8 Life is sexually transmitted. #7 Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die. #6 Men have two motivations: hunger and sex, and they can't tell them apart. If you see a...

And on the 8th day, God created seniors. Most seniors never get enough exercise. In His wisdom, God decreed that seniors become forgetful so they would have to search for their eyeglasses, keys, and other things, thus doing more walking. And God looked down and saw that it was good. Then God...

A simplified urine test that may be relevant for at least some of us men. Go outside and pee in the garden. If ants gather:- diabetes. If you pee on your feet:- prostate. If it smells like a barbecue:- cholesterol. If when you shake it, your wrist hurts:- osteoarthritis. If you return to the...

So, when is it appropriate to use the "F" word? Quite frankly, the "F" word can be the ONLY word in the English language that accurately describes some situations. The word is 'FEAR' of course! What in the world were you thinking?

Hi Mods, Today, I noticed when I was looking at the post “Vs Wagon high idle/sticky throttle” in the VS forum, the posts by member “Having a Break” are blank, and there is a message “Comments are turned off” under each post. There seem to be replies to these posts but they are not visible to...

1. We all love to spend money buying new clothes, but we don't realize that the best moments in life are enjoyed without clothes. 2. Having a cold drink on a hot day with a few friends is nice, but having a hot friend on a cold night after a few drinks - priceless. 3. Breaking News: Condoms...

Sometimes, when I look at my children, I say to myself, 'Lillian, you should have remained a virgin.' - Lillian Carter (mother of Jimmy Carter) I had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue: - 'No good in a bed, but fine...

Looking at purchasing a new V8 power steering pump for my wife's VS Clubsport. The existing pump is the original one on the car from new, and has only required a minor seal replacement in 238k kms, but is starting to get noisy. Looking through eBay the majority of the prices range around $140...

Hi, I accidentally deleted the Just Commodores entry from my password manager. I can still access Just Commodores because the forum has my password stored. However, I can't restore the entry in the password manager because I don't know the password. Likewise, I can't change the password on Just...

Hi, need to get a replacement door actuator for my wife's HSV VS Clubsport. Last time I purchased one it was about $20, now they want the earth for them. Is it possible to use a VT unit? Quite cheap (new) ones are available on eBay. I know there are some wiring differences, but would be...

A collection of great jokes for Forum members:

Driving around last Saturday afternoon on a nice day approaching an Eastlink Freeway overpass on a green light, when a young lady coming in the opposite direction turned right through a red arrow like a rocket and T-Boned my GTS. Wide road with two lanes on either side going straight ahead and...

A group of seniors was sitting around talking about all their ailments at the coffee shop. "My arms have gotten so weak I can hardly lift this cup of coffee," said one. "Yes, I know," said another. "My cataracts are so bad; I can't even see my coffee." "I couldn't even mark an "X" at election...

Warning, runs for 23 minutes, variable quality video, some very funny, some possibly not so funny. Don't recall ever seeing some of the Australian commercials shown.

Just started getting a loud clicking noise from my right hand front wheel when turning corners on my Gen-F2 GTS (48,000kms), particularly noticeable at roundabouts and when turning into parking spaces. No rumbles or other noises when driving straight ahead (at any speed). I have: Jacked up the...

VF2 GTS LSA engine. Is this the correct routing for the black hose that attaches near the throttle body hose in the picture below? It looks a little clumsy. I don't recall noticing it before.

The Swede's wife steps up to the tee and, as she bends over to place her ball, a gust of wind blows her skirt up and reveals her lack of underwear. 'Good God, woman! Why aren't you wearing any skivvies?', her husband demanded. 'Well' she said, 'you don't give me enough housekeeping money to...

For the life of me I can’t get the backup lamp socket back into its place in the boot lid of my wife’s VS Clubsport. Don’t recall having any problems removing it. Been trying for hours using different orientations but can’t seem to get it back in there (and my back is now killing me). Never had...

It’s now incredibly simple to directly run this manual on any Windows 64 bit operating system including Windows 11. Saves having to run the manual on an old PC with a Windows 16/32 bit operating system, or running it on a 64 bit operating system using a 32 bit emulator such as VirtualBox or...

In the past, with my VS Calais v8, VS Clubsport, VX GTS, I've always kept spare radiator hoses and drive belts in my cars, in the event of breakdowns. Most recently, I had my VX GTS for 15 years and never had to replace any hose or belt. I've now had my Gen-F2 GTS for almost seven years (only...

Paddy and Mick were walking along a street in London. Paddy looked in one of the shop windows and saw a sign that caught his eye. "Suits £5.00 each, Shirts £2.00 each, trousers £2.50 per pair". Paddy said to his pal, "Mick look at the prices! We could buy a whole lot of dose and when we get...

Looks like I need to purchase a new distributor to cure an intermittent engine no-start problem with my wife's VS Clubsport. Coil and ignition module are in good condition. Was almost sure the problem was with the fuel pump. However, after replacing the pump, went to the service station fill...

Just had to replace the fuel pump in my wife's 1996 VS Clubsport. I had last replaced the fuel pump in my 1995 VS Calais V8 in 2013 (unnecessarily) while I was chasing a problem, and don't recall any particular difficulty in releasing the quick connect fitting to the sender unit. Holden in...

For something completely different:

Diet tip: If you think you’re hungry, you might just be thirsty. Have a bottle of wine first and then see how you feel. We are not ageing; we are just ripening to perfection. A woman noticed her husband standing on the bathroom scales, sucking in his stomach. “Ha! That’s not going to help,”...

Took my Gen-F2 GTS in to my normal Holden dealer last Monday for a couple of items. Today, I noticed that my dash cams had been disconnected. Is this normal workshop practice? This is the first time that the car has been to a dealer since the dash cams were installed.

Noticed recently that my Gen-F2 GTS has the notorious LSA supercharger rattle/clank noise when the engine is idling. From my research, it appears to be caused by the spring mechanism on the standard supercharger isolator/coupler, and the solution is to install a “solid” coupler. Just wanting...

Noticed that the left front wheel hub on my wife's VS Clubsport had an oil/grease deposit on the inside recently. Have also been having some intermittent ABS errors from the same wheel. Look at the hubs available on eBay but there seems to be a lot of cheap sh*t around, as well as more...

Have almost finished installing a BlackVue DR750S-2CH dashcam in my Gen-F2 GTS. All the installation wiring is complete up to the headlining over the rear camera location. The front camera works fine and the rear camera tests OK on the back seat. I have a couple of questions below. Replies...

After the annual office Christmas-party blowout, John woke up with a pounding headache, cotton-mouthed, and utterly unable to recall the events of the preceding evening. After a trip to the bathroom, he was able to make his way downstairs, where his wife put some coffee in front of him...

Checking out at the store, the young cashier suggested to the much older lady that she should bring her own grocery bags, because plastic bags are not good for the environment. The older woman apologized to the young girl and explained, "We didn't have this 'green thing' back in my earlier...

Trying to replace the radiator coolant in my Gen-F2 GTS. There doesn't appear to be any drain plug access like normal Commodores have. Do I need to remove the fascia, bumper and undercovers as described in the VF service manual for the intercooler charge replacement, or is there an easier...
