Hey ya'll. My povo pack exec ls1 didn't come with an lsd from factory so how's the cheapest, tight arse way I can stick one in? I had a quote or $1350 drive in drive out! I haven't got that type of cash, sadly......

Hey all. Long time no see. Just bought a 132k VX Executive 5.7 V8. Still in quite good condition, however, after doing an engine clean, fresh oil, oil filter and air filter, I parked it in the shed over night. A few days later I notice a couple of drips or oil on the floor, about 50c size? Now...

FWIW, why is easier to just buy an SS then slam an 8 banger into my V6 exec? I can buy a high roller ls1 for 1 1/2 gees. Should I super charge or turbo???? Any advice good or bad apreciated. Cheers

Hi y'all. My V6 A/C is playing up. The temp setting seems to be ok, but every now and then it gets locked onto feet or a perticular setting and won't let you change off it? When the car is turned off and back on again, it's back to normal? Any ideas?

Hey all. Got to ask. Do sump plugs have a use by date? I was under the car doing an oil change and noticed an oil drip from the sump plug. On the last change, when it came back from the shop it was done up very hard. I think over tightened! Above that area, you can plainly see some sort of oil...

As of right now, NT is the only state or territory to be specific, to have had no road deaths! And no speed limits in some areas....Nuff said really

Hey y'all. Does anyone here polish their own cars? I was looking at a random orbital polisher and thought of going at hoping for a better finish. Good idea or leave it to the pros?

The other half hooked up my aerial on a tree branch and bent it at the base and called my VZ a **** box! Not happy. Got it back to visually straight, but it's stopping 300mm short. Even though it still goes all the way up and still gets a radio station, it's still ####ed and pissing me off. What...

Hey y'all. My A/C is not that great anymore. On the really hot days it struggles badly. What's involved in a re gas? How much should I pay?

Hey y'all. My VE2 wagons nice, smooth quiet and just nice to drive around the tribe with, but the brakes are noticeabley woeful! Put it this way, my VZ shits all over it, even though they are just about the end of their life. Any thoughts?

Hey ya'll. Not sure whats going on but I'm getting belt slip or something from the engine in my VZ V6 Auto trans. Usually from low gears at hard throttle say 1st to 2nd mainly but it'll do it on the highway at WOT out of over drive to 3rd. I'm not 100% sure what the issue is, like I'm thinking...

A powertrain warning on the dash came up again for the 2nd time in as many days. On idle it was running what felt like on 4 cylinders with a lumpy cam. I was giving it a bit of pedal up a large hill when it lit the dash up with a fancy tune. When I got home and switched the car off, then back on...

Hey. You guys are going to think I'm a dumb ass but can you tell how an limited slip diff works and it's advantages and and what's an OTR?

Hey y'all. After seeing those pics of the oil sludge and all I'm kinda parinoid about my servicing intervals on the 3.6lt VZ. Is an oil filter and oil change every 5000km over the top and a waste of cash? My local mechanic assured me 10000km or every 6 months is more then enough. The car...

Hi guys, I need some help. I just bought a black VE2 station wagon and only up until I drove the car at highway speeds home, I've notice the passenger side mirror was fluttering! On inspection the housing is solid and in tact, even will fold back happy. The real problem is the mirror its self...

Well I was shitting on about the timing belts on my 03 1.8 lt ts Astra and I did it all myself plus a major service and regrind/pads up front with not much drama. The only real problem I had was the lower timing belt cover removel. Not exactly knowing where it was logically locked into, I busted...

I want to eventually up grade my brakes on my VZ v6 intercepter and I would like to go big say 330mm up front. One problem, I have 16 inch chasers that I like because they are tuff and tires are cheap for frying. Will I need 17 inch? Or can I get rotors and pads that go with the stock 296mm that...

Hey everyone. I'm looking for a good impact wrench, cordless with lots of balls. I've been looking at the Ingersoll Rand W7250k2. What do you guys use, recommend, love, hate-anything. Thanks

Hey. What would that red stuff be in a tube you use to lube the 'O' ring and seal the water pump back into the block? All I know is the tube is red! Thanks,

Hi guys. After much deliberation, I'm doing the timing belt, water pump and timing pullies on my Astra. I bought the Torx tools I need and a Lisle timing cam lock. Just need a torque wrench and Dayco kit. Any tips or tricks I could use? Any advise would be much appreciated. Thanks

Hey ya'll. My 2003 1.8 Astra is apparently due for a timing belt/water pump! The car had a timing belt replacement at 60k and now it's close to 120k. Now you guys know cars and correct me if I'm wrong but the timing is usually done at 80 to 100k? Should I let this one go to 200k and do the...

Hi guys. The rear drivers side door card has had the speaker cover kicked in. I'm guessing you can't replace the cover because it's press moulded together? What's the best way to go about it? Find a used electric window version card or try and fix it? Thanks in advance.

Hi y'all. Today I somehow pushed through the power window switch block panel in the centre console. You can get your finger under and work them, but they are a bitch. What's the best way to repair it? I'm sure I can find parts, but would it be worth it pay someone? If so, who and how much do...
