Glad I wasn't the only one!

Its only been a couple of months since I last had it serviced. The suspension issues I had were sorted, along with new brakes and rotors. It cost me a small fortune to fix. Everything else mechanically on the car was fine. It's just frustrating that just as I'm about to get it ready to sell, the...

Life gets in the way. I had actually had the suspension issue I had with it sorted out a couple of months ago as it was the most pressing issue it had, along with the front brakes. It cost me a small fortune. The fuel flap, seat and ariel I had planned to get sorted in the next month or so. The...

Evening all, So I'm after a general consensus of what I should do with my 25th Anniversary VY. I recently bought a VE Calais with the intention of fixing a few bits and bobs on the VY before selling it. That was until the alternator died the day I picked up the VE. I think she's jealous! Is...

Great looking VF mate, I do love the wagon in Prussian Steel. I'd settle for that if I couldn't get my hands on one in Regal Peacock Green.

I picked her up on Monday. Only 136,000km on the clock and very well looked after. No mods, no plans to do any either. I'm very happy with the way it drives. It is is definitely a step up from the VY. Speaking of which, after I picked the Calais up, I went back to collect the VY and the...

Been a while since I've checked out this thread, the car is looking great! Will have to turn up to a meet again one day so I can check it out!

Not a huge fan of chrome rims but she sure is a sweet looking ride! Good find mate!

Tell me about it! Felt like I had dropped a cylinder, which is essentially what happens when it clogs up like that.

Noticed problems about 3000kms after my last service and they were new plugs! The Holden guys took a little while to figure out what the actual problem was. They initially thought it was a leaking fuel injector.

This is what happens to your spark plugs when you the valve stem seals are leaking: As you would imagine, the fuel consumption wasn't great, it was covered in oily fuel. All fixed now though!
