vy 04

So the Ute decided to die randomly with no warning or anything just dead… after towing it home I noticed spark was the issue. After replacing few spare DFI plates and coils it turns out the plug has one corroded pin. I have seen patch looms and don’t mind soldering a used plug but it’s only one...

Hi All, as the title suggests I have been through 2 tensioner pulleys in the past 2 years and now it needs replacing for a 3rd time even though the last one was only done 3 months ago, but once again it's screaming its head off as soon as the engines warm! Surely there's some underlying problem...

Hi, I've got a 2004 VY Calais and recently I've been feeling a clunking/movement under the drivers side floor when turning and on rougher roads. I pulled the sway bar links and the top end was bent. I figured this would be due to a wheel alignment issue, so I got a wheel alignment done and...

Ok so, my dad has a HSV Manta, he removed stock interior and put pull leather coulson interior. I’ve got a Vy storm, wanted to put his stock seats in mine, everything lined up perfectly, except the ride height was just that bit to high up to be comfortable. So I’m other words, do sedan seats and...

Hi guys, I've had a smash in my VY series 2 and want to fix her up, I need a new wheel arch from just infront of the strut mount and the radiator mount plus guards, bonnet, etc. I wanted to know if other models (VX, VT, etc) would fit in there as the VY's seem to sell for more than most others.

Right then I bought a VY 3.8 cheap for my son, when bought was told alternators not charging as the battery leads had been connected to the wrong battery terminals. Car starts and drives but isn't charging and turns over very slowly when starting, even with a good battery, the alternator would...

Tried to change the dashlights over last night, but when I tried to take the lcd display off, it broke. Was looking at getting a secondhand dash and switxhing the display screens and was wondering could a Vy lcd fit? From what I can tell the only difference in the two is the wiring harness.

Hi guys. For some reason, I only get air coming out of my demister vents. I won’t have any air (whether hot or cold) come out of my fascia vents or door vents. Climate control is plugged in but still only blows out the demister. Doesn’t matter what fan setting it’s on either. Any reason this...
