Having a think. Put new plugs in (stock NGK 1.5mm gap) as per the manual for the VS V6. Checked with the feeler gauges. Noticed the car running a little bit rougher, maybe a bit more fuel usage. I think last time I regapped the plugs to about 1.3mm. Which I think I'll do again. Would anyone...

Alrighty. So I had a search and a read and it looked like @losh1971 had a similar issue but following the thread I couldn't make sense of a fix. Car has manual wind up front windows. Basically I replaced my bailey channels in the driver's door as they were gone completely. What's happening is...

Did the engine out rebuild/clean a few months back (Didnt strip rotating assembly, just seals and other items that wear over time) VS Ecotec, Manual, about 495 on it. Since then its always felt a little rough and the fuel economy has been consistently about 1-2L/100 worse than before. Just...

Noticed tonight that on the Live axle VS ute it was very wet around the rubber grommet on the back of the diff. Have noticed a few patches on the ground under where I park it (could be a coincidence as there was recently another issue with a minor leak elsewhere), but never noticed the wet on...

Alrighty, so in the VZ SS had been having code P0222 coming up which was low voltage for throttle position sensor. Was sporadic but lately its been a bit more often. No consistency with what would bring up the fault either, just completely random Gave the Throttle body a clean out (opened the...

Doing some researching, wanting to replace the Headunit in the VS (put a Pioneer single DIN in about 10-12 years ago) Came across an old discontinued style Kenwood KDC-X7100DAB that would fit the bill perfectly, but obviously is no longer available. Trying to find something with Rear USBs...

Simple question, Engine (ecotec) is out to fix up a bunch of stuff, wanting to know what would be recommended to tackle while its out. No conversions etc are on the cards for now, its a daily that is soon to crack the 500 mark, still going solid. Before pulling it out it ran smooth, just had a...

Quick question about the Radiator in a VS. Is it possible or likely that the bottom of the Radiator can split? So backstory got home today, saw the dreaded green water dropping from the front. Looked in the overflow and saw it was empty (didn't open rad cap as was still just driven hot) and...

So quite a simple one. Been doing a bit of research about the possibility of an intake like a VCM or similar OTR for the VZ SS. But cant find, is there any that have infill panels or similar that keep a factory look or would the factory radiator cover need to be cut to shape to. I understand...

So super simple one. Anyone had much experience with either the wireless or trailer mounted electric brake control systems and whats your thoughts on them? Looking at them as it seems the trailers/campers I am eyeing off are all electric braked. The cars to be used for towing are more than...

Hoping someone here has had a bit of experience with setting up Dual Batteries and Inverters in vehicles. Looking at a 3kw Inverter, DCDC charger and something around a 120Ah Battery. Vehicle in question is one of those ex-Telstra Rangers (2017), which i understand the Rangers have a variable...

Title may be misleading, not putting a vehicle into a storage facility, but its related to storing the vehicle in the garage. Simply put, as a few vehicles are weekenders, every time i get them out of the garage/shed they often have a lovely fine layer of dust on them. Just wondering if anyone...

Wondering if anyone has had experience with getting photos printed out before and what sizes look good for the DPI and also pixel amounts. Through work have been able to get some pretty great photos over the years and want to get them printed. Mostly all are Panoramics, which kinda spewing I...

So looking at trying to fault find an O2 issue (rear drivers throwing a code) and to nullify it is the wiring am wanting to swap the left and right bank wiring over. (already confirmed its not an o2 sensor itself or a few other basic things) Right rear is holding around 700mV and not going down...

Have been having this code come up a fair bit lately. I know it is the Drivers Side, Rear Oxy Sensor High Reading. Engine is a 6.0L L98. Has a Catback on it. It only seems to pop up when cruising along, Its random when it does. Sometimes its cleared by a scantool and stays away for a bit. Other...

Trying to diagnose an issue with an oil leak. VS V6 Ecotec w/ Getrag box. Its coming out the back of the engine, slightly more on the passenger side. (have a tray with some stuff on it underneath to confirm the location) When parked flat, (even when not driven for a day or 2) it has the leak out...

By any chance would anyone have the wiring diagram for a VS Series 3. Or more specifically the circuit to do with Fuse 9. Its the Reverse light circuit which also apparently does the "purge canister", which actually doesn't use wiring. Holden didn't keep the S3 wiring the same as the other...

So have had a small problem on occasion but haven't really bothered with it, but after an incident today I wonder if anyone may know whats causing the problem. its in a VS s3 ute with the Getrag + Hydraulic clutch. What happens is, sometimes when sitting there with the clutch in the engagement...

Ok so as the title says, I have been having trouble with desoldering some components lately. I would not say I am a 100% expert with soldering, but have a good working knowledge and also a very good skill level in soldering and desoldering. Now here is my problem. There is a small component I...

Alrightly, this is a slightly simple question but hopefully its also a simple answer. Have had the vac fitting that goes onto the throttle body come off (the one that's under the throttle body and goes under the runners to the back of the engine somewhere. the nearly 90 degree elbow stays...

Ok, so I thought this could be a good place to start. I am trying to learn how to use dropbox so I can upload pictures to different sites and am a little stuck. So I can put pictures from the computer into the dropbox program on the computer, and can see them when logged into the program. I...

Ive been trying to chase up some info to no avail so hopefully someone else will know or have some info for this. I'm trying to chase up who makes a towbar that goes under a VZ Clubsport bumper and not through it like most designs out there. have seen a few cars out there with them but...

Just wondering if anyone has any tips for what to do when not using a car for periods of time that are unknown? for example could be 1 week or could be 10 weeks between usage for various reasons, either work already know about leaving the fuel as low as possible and only putting fuel into it...

Evening. Firstly (backstory) I had the dash apart to find out why the Odo stopped working, noticed a few teeth missing on the cog, so that's being replaced, and obviously to get to that stage, you need to pull the cluster apart, and needle out. (well you don't but I did to check other cogs...

Im trying to search for some info on this colour that was found on some wheels in the VZ HSV Range. Was found on the Maloo and SV6000. Best way to explain it is it is under some lights and angles just like any other wheels out there with the light grey colour, while other times you can see the...

I have been looking into buying a new printer for home for a while, just thought I might be able to get some opinions and some hopefully an insight as to what to look for and potentially buy. Budget for this is going to be $500. but if its a bit more then so be it. requirements are this...

quite simply going to be going camping soonish. now i know the whole, fridge, barbie, gas bottles, chairs, tents etc type of gear (have been before) but more interested in having a power source, that is preferably not in the form of a fuel driven Generator. although the honda quiet gens seem...

ok fairly simple. what would be the best/easiest option. to get new panels or to repair old ones? the panels would be steel (not fibreglass or plastic) and some may potentially have rust (either surface, or deeper then surface) and no. the welding etc of cutting and replacing rusty areas...

ok so had a look around to no avail. when i drive the car for a long distance/time (generally over an hour) and then eventually brake i have been getting this slight knock in the front left wheel area. it only happens after having braked for that initial time. (does not occur if slowed down...

so anyway. after fitting a tubliner ages ago into the ute it kinda "flexes" and knocks around a little bit in the back due to its design. and talking to some people at trade school they suggested a carpet underlay underneath to reduce the noise. so just wondering has anyone done this...
