The second hand RAC battery (580CCA) died in my VK and what a good one it was, over 8 years old. After a week of thinking about which brand battery to replace it with I was all set to get an Exide 630CCA 112RC* for $188 with 30 months warranty which I thought was pretty good pricing. Even...

Hi -- I have a VE SS-V wagon but am posting this in the VF section as I have been fortunate enough to have located some VF Series 1 Redline rims (19" staggered) which I want to put on mine. I bought the car with chrome Speedy 20" which I don't like. Plus, my VE has the VF Brembo brakes retro...

Hi all; This S1 2008 VE I just bought has Brembos retro fitted and I don't like the Speedy 20" chromes currently on it, so as I am tending towards keeping cars more original, I'm looking for some S2 Redline rims. Which isn't easy these days (unless you want to buy one or two at a time and get...

I was wondering if any V8 auto owners (6L80 trans) have found any dramas with their auto after having a transmission flush done? Have seen a few YT videos and heard of transmission places being reluctant to do the full flush (which involves pressure and full fluid replacement) because of the...

Recently bought my first VE (S1 SS-V) and I know a lot of the stuff I will be asking has been gone over at least 10-12 years ago but sometimes it's hard to find doing a search on the forums. Using my VE as an example, the VE is great in many ways but just so disappointing in some aspects of...

Spent almost an hour searching posts to see if this problem has come up but nothing exactly like this. Although VR VS forum guys' have similar vacuum related issues. Just bought the VE SSV about 6-7 weeks ago and still learning about it (last car for 21 years was a VK!!). I just had ABS Auto...

RE: VE LSD replacement centre unit .... I was talking to the manager of a popular trasmission and Differential place that I use. They are checking and servicing the Auto and the Diff in my VE Sportwagon that I recently bought. He said they still get in 2 to 3 of the factory diffs per week...

Hi all- I just pulled off the Chev badges from my VE and wondering if they have yet made a nice aftermarket grille without the huge lion badge on the front? I did a lot of searching on this forum and almost all of the posts go back at least 10 years or more, with lots of interest at the time...

Hi VE experts -- VK (carby 6) owner here in Perth, interested in getting into a VE V8 wagon. Have been looking for a few months now and found one on Dumtree which I am quite interested in. Going up on Sunday to have a squizz. Earlier this year I posted questions about a Voodoo blue ex-Police...

Hi to VE experts - hopefully someone here can help with approx value for a VE I'm considering. I'm old school (current ride is a 1984 VK) so am clueless on values of later vehicles. This fellow seemed open and honest with it. He came around yesterday to buy something I had on gumtree. He asked...

Hi, I have just put in new carpet in my VK and have got the new seat belt retractor covers from Resto Country that go at the bottom of the B pillar. But have forgotten how the seat belt and lower seat belt bolt goes. Do both parts of the webbing go behind those covers with the lower bolt...

Hi, does anyone with experience in a range of early Commodore models know if the VR VS front seat belt stalks (or buckle?) will work with the VK tongue? As you know, the VK stalks have that problem where the stiff plastic casing cracks and breaks. The VR VS ones look like the latch part is...

Hi, is anyone familiar with VH to early VK door lock mechanisms? My VK model has the push-pull lock knob on top of the door. You know how it is supposed to make a positive click up and down and stay there... well my problem is that mine doesn't do that anymore on driver door and is loose...
