I thought I'd start a new topic as I can't find a whole lot of info, only stuff from years ago. My 2001 WH Caprice has gone extremely heavy on the steering this morning and its near impossible to turn lock to lock. No noises, no belt squeal, power steering fluid level is fine and the fluid...

For anyone who knows something about this, I want to get some opinions before I start cutting into the exhaust on my LS1 WH Caprice. Its very quiet at idle and when you open the throttle, its mild but not really noticeable as a V8. The exhaust system is all stock with no modifications...

Hi guys, I can't seem to find the paint code for the lower body colour on my 2001 WH Caprice. The main colour of the car is H154 "Quicksilver" but its a darker gray around the bottom of the car. Its my understanding that they used a different bottom colour depending on what main colour the...

Hi all, So a while back I had what turned out to be LSD chatter in my 2001 LS1 WH, along with a loud gear whine. I added fresh oil and the Penrite LimSlip additive in an effort to stop the chatter. For about 3 days, the chatter went away. Now its all back with a vengeance. Its so bloody...

Intro: Owning a silver car (Holden 'Quicksilver') you really get to see what happens when the UV from years of sun exposure begins to destroy your paint. And silver is always one of the fastest paint colours to fade, no matter what type of car you own. This is intended to be a rough and quick...

Was driving home late last thursday night, was a little bit peeved about something that had happened earlier in the night, so I took off from a set of lights a bit 'enthusiastically' which in hindsight, was not really worthwhile. Thought nothing of it at the time really. Continued home and...

Introduction: I noticed a few people (mostly Calais/Caprice/Statesman/Senator owners, etc) who have chrome mouldings on the body of their cars, complaining about it peeling, flaking, turning weird shades of purple and losing its shine. The VT/VX cars are getting older now, and the chrome body...

Must be one of those days. The brake lights are now not working. Had the car at the dealers for an AC recharge today and they advised me that none of the rear brake lights are in fact working. They reckoned it was the brake light switch, so I bought a switch. I just put the new switch in, and...

Its me again! :surprise: I've been cleaning up the look of my Caprice lately, and the headlights are next on the cosmetic list (booked in for an AC re-gas and the tailshaft centre bearing work next week also) The standard headlights are a bit dull in the lenses and a bit pitted looking...

Hey guys, My WH Caprice has got the infamous tailshaft centre bearing noise ("wup-wup-wup-wup-wup") which is happening between 20kmh and 50kmh and then goes away. The noise is at about twice the wheel speed of the car, so I know its not wheel bearings or diff drive axles. The speed of the...

Hi guys, first real issue with the car since I bought it about 12 weeks back or so. 2001 WH Caprice LS1. Sometimes, just driving along the highway and the "Traction Control Off" yellow light illuminates on the left hand side of the dash near the temperature gauge. Pushing the Traction Control...

On my 2001 WH's headlight switch, there is what looks like a dimmer slide adjustment lever. (Same as VT) It stays spring-loaded to the centre of the sliding scale and I can push it round to either end of the scale but it springs back to the centre. Is this right? Nothing dims though, all...

Does anyone know what the HBD plate code "DLH" means? I have figured out the rest of the codes on my plate, but this one is not recorded anywhere online? Thanks!

I've got a WH Caprice, 2001 model, with the HBD build plate. I can find a list of HBD option codes online, but there is one code on my plate I can't decipher. SNR - Sunroof GPS - HSV sat nav screen in dash AWC - Alloy wheels, HBD 17x8 (similar to the VT Senator wheels, but slightly...
