Does anyone have fitting instructions for a genuine VS HSV Maloo sailplane? Also need the exact location and wiring diagram to cut and wire the tailgate number plate recess. Thanks

Can anyone give me the specs for a VS ute tonneau support bar? Someone has replaced mine with a flat bar and it doesnt lift the cover up high enough to keep it taught.

My young bloke removed the tailgate from his ute to have it repaired and has lost the bolts that fix it to the hinges. Wreckers have none and Holden don't list them anymore. Are they the same as VY-VZ ones? I don't recall them being countersunk screws like on H series utes/ vans. Any photos...

I need to purchase door rubbers, bailey channel rubbers and inner and outer weatherstrips for an HZ ute. Can anyone recommend a decent kit? There seems to be a fair few different ones available. I want something half-decent.

I've wired up a pair of Hella Rallye 4000 driving lights to my VE ute. They work well for a minute or so, correctly switching between high and low beam when required. Then they will blow a fuse. It's either the factory 10 amp high beam (right hand) fuse from where I've sourced the trigger...

Given the battery is in the rear of the vehicle, where do I access the battery power source for a driving light circuit?

Restoration of my ve omega manual ute is progressing well. New timing chain, brakes and suspension all sorted. Tyres etc etc. However, I have noticed occasionally a very slight 'miss' or hesitation under load. Thinking plugs, leads or coils, I took it to the mechanic who reckoned all was...

Not specifically related to a VZ but relevant nonetheless. Helping my young bloke fit a snorkel to his rodeo yesterday, I dropped a 10mm socket and extension through the kick panel. It promptly fell further and ended up in the sill. I used a remote camera and can see it there. I can't fit my...

The fabric part of my ve omega door trim is loose and become saggy. I know that on earlier models, the fabric insert could be removed. Can the same be done with a ve?

Try using WD40 on dirty carpet. Apply liberally and wipe with a cloth. Works wonderfully on tar and stains and even just dirty wear marks.

The driver's lumbar support on my ve omega ute feels like a loose plastic panel midway down the upright seat cushion. The adjustment knob doesn't do anything either. Are these accessible? Can they be repaired?

The young bloke just bought a 2001 turbo diesel rodeo. Very original vehicle with 340k kms. One owner, comprehensive service history. Runs great, however, I noticed today that the tacho would intermittently stop working and remain 'dead' until I either hit a bit of rough roadway or firmly...

Can anyone tell me what the small led lights are in a factory Holden roo bar? Are they foglights or parking lights? Need to wire them up.

So, I was tired of using my SsZ Crewman (see thread in VZ forum) for domestic duties and running back and forth to our average. It was suffering cosmetically and there was never sufficient opportunity to park it up to complete all the little jobs I had planned for it. So I decided a run around...

I have bought a SV6 front bumper to replace the Omega one on my ute. While the inner plastic guards look the same, is the plastic tray underneath specific to each model?

Just got some replacement ve ss/sv6 plastic wheel centres caps but for the life of me, cannot get the bastards to clip on. - all tabs on caps are undamaged. -the wire tension spring is correctly fitted. - the tabs on the rim itself are clean of debris and impediment. Even my ever-loving...

Just bought a manual omega ute. 240000, runs smoothly. I have noticed however, that it's quite sluggish on hills often requiring changing back to fourth gear to maintain speed. My other ute is an Ssz Crewman, manual, which is significantly 'torquier' but I've driven v6 utes before and don't...

It's probably in here somewhere but buggered if I can find it but I'm chasing instructions for the removal of a VZ Crewman rear bumper. It's off an ssZ with side skirts. Thanks

Is the spare wheel winder in a crewman the same as the one in an 'H' series ute/ tonnes?

Doing a bit of cartoon work this evening...whipped up a quick Crewman. How's it look?

The front, nearside corner trim on my Crewman tub has a piece broken out of it. Can anyone tell me if 1/. It is a part that can be removed/ replaced and 2/. If so, where would I get one? I have the missing piece but I'd rather a good one not a glued piece...

None of the threads I can find seem to cover what I'm looking for so I'll post a new one in the hope I can find a resolution. The two rear windows in my crewman have played up since I got the ute. Both will drop without issue..I can hear the motor working pulling them down. When I try to...

Can anyone shed any light on how to remove the pockets (or net) from the rear of a VZ seat panel? I know how to get the the entire panel off but can't work out the fasteners that hold the pocket onto the hard panel.... I have found an entire back but need to swap the pocket for a net as it's...

The previous owner of my ute used some adhesive-backed cloth tape to hold the sagging hood lining up. He taped it right across the inside top of the rear windscreen. The tape has been removed but there is a 1.5 inch wide strip of hardened adhesive across the back of the car. How can I remove...

Can anyone recommend a mechanic who specialises in Ls-1 motors in or near Wagga NSW?

When I got my ssz crewman back from the mechanic last week, I was a bit confused. He reckoned he couldn't tune the slight, low-rev miss out of the car because it had been modified. He reckoned: - the catalytic converters were missing. -there were no o2 sensors rear of where the cats should be...

Can anyone tell me what this hooks up to? In vicinity of old airbox, ssz crewman ls1.. It's the pink plug in the centre. MAF perhaps?

Are these some type of performance catalytic converter?

I enjoy reading about other people's proje t threads on here so figured I might chronicle my latest project. Three weeks ago, I bought a VZ SSZ Crewman. Even though rear legroom is pretty limited, I like the concept and for what I need, makes sense. In the past I owned a Vy Ss Crewman, then a...

Does anyone have a photo or diagram showing how Jack, chock and winder are stored under crewman rear seat?

I know Fu Manchu offered a suggestion in relation to this in an earlier thread but the problem persists. The two plastic 'bases' which regulate the height of the headrest posts on my ssz crewman, seem to have come away from the back cushion. The plastic won't slide further down back into the...

I have two half 5 cent piece sized chips out of the edge of my hard lid. Is it a difficult repair? The lid needs respraying as the clear coat has gone.

I picked up a 2005, ssz manual ute yesterday. 311000 country kms, told engine rebuilt somewhere in the past. Only ever run on 98. Heavy duty clutch, cai, extractors and exhaust. Sounds awesome... Anyway, driving it the 500 km home, I noticed a few odd things. 1/. The motor feels strong. It...

G'day. The crewman SSZ I bought today is missing a few things. There is a rear headrest (leather) missing. (Were these model-specific to the crewman, or did other variants have the same part). Also, the jack and tool kit bad been removed, except for the spare wheel winding handle. Are these...

I've got the opportunity to buy a black, vx auto s pack with 130000 original kms on it. Faded headlights, small dint in one door and a dodgy driver's seat but all in all, pretty original. Goes well and feels tight. Can likely get it for a grand. 11 months full rego. I don't need another car...

I've removed some lightforce hid led driving lights from my prado to put on my vs. I'm replacing them with great white led lights. Trouble is, lightforce loom has 4 wires into each light and great whites only have 2.... any ideas?

I have read the other threads on here regarding bench seat removal but I still cannot get it out. I have removed the driver's seat, that was the same as a normal bucket. The passenger/ centre seats I can't get out. The ute is a manual floor shift. I've removed the gearknob and surround to...

How do I get the passenger/centre seat out of a ute? There is no mechanism to slide it as the floor mounted gear shift is in the way....

I've read the threads relating to the handbrake warning light in a bench seat VS ute and have reached the conclusion that the fault is more than likely a blown bulb. Before I pull the cluster out, I'd like to test the circuit with a test lamp. There is a yellow wire, coming from the loom which...

1/. Can replacement batteries be fitted t o WM Caprice tyre pressure sensors? I reckon they would have to be battery powered. 2/. Has anyone tried the eBay non-genuine sensors? OEM sensors are $250 each but I can buy 4 online for $99..
