If the overflow bottle was visible (old school) and had a cold and hot mark on the side, that would allow the mechanic/owner to easily check the coolant level is correct. One could easily see that on morning cold start the level would be at the cold mark and at running temp it would be at the...

The OP in that linked thread was offered a settlement on the court steps and the tribunal accepted that settlement so case closed. The real life result for that OP was that he achieved a $10,500 payment even though not all the bits of the side of the block were found :cool: And any...

Glad it works for you and that it’s much cheaper than the stupidly priced stuff from the chemist (30 tablets for $36). Ignoring price, all drug warnings can drive me nuts… From the web page you posted: Warnings For adults only at bedtime. Not for pregnant or nursing women. May cause drowsiness...

It’s part of their wiring security logic probably to keep thieves at bay :p:p:p But if memory serves correct it’s a total bust as VK was one of the easily stolen doors :eek:

https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/seized-engine-vf-ss-ii.297163/post-3332120 In that case the end result was that a settlement was reached for $10,500. Why, because the dealer was worried they’d loose at the tribunal and be stuck with a much larger $17k+ bill while @henrytad felt...

Nah, more like moving deck chairs on the Titanic :oops:

@joshcomm, this thread is from 2016 but getting a clear answer on what must be retrofitted and what programming is required would round of this thread nicely even in 2024 :cool:

phone a friend? Using wood can be tricky unless you take specific care about the load paths and the fixing methods you use. Some sort of metal truss/wall plate and lots of bolts would be the go… I‘d not use nails…

I’d make it out of steel And not wood. And I’d pop into a local bike dealer and see if they have some bike shipping crates (that years ago they’d just toss out) as that would make a good platform to start with building a hoist jig for the bike.

Never lifted a LS3 so take what I say with a gain of salt… Just be careful that the box section you use isn’t too big so the box section sits nicely on the flats of the engine mount. Else if they are too big and sit on the edge/curve, with the 200kg off a fully loaded LS3, they may splay open...

I’ve seen that video and other and have probably posted that one and others on the forum at various times… Really there are many ways to skin that current drain cat :p the thing they all have in common is being methodical as there are no magic shortcuts:(

Ok, tell us again you have a hoist :p:p:p:p

Not sure why people spend money to actually get more noise vibration and harshness especially after they’ve already paid for the development effort to reduce NVH in their new car :rolleyes: It’s like big brakes or gear change pauses in EV’s and such oddities that almost seem as logical as...

@losh1971, taking the sump out is a bit of an effort in one’s driveway. That’s especially the case as compared to simply washing one’s hands (after sump removal) and taking a few snaps with one’s phone so as to post something interesting on a car forum :oops: So not sure why @Mon-aro seems to...

Removing one fuse at a time or all fuses at once and then putting one at a time back in while checking the current draw really makes no difference (unless your inclined to mix up fuses and pu5 wrong ones in incorrect positions)… It’s just to be methodical and know what is fused and what is not...
