Hi all. Some time ago I posted a few comments about a hard lid for my VU Maloo, without much success. Interestingly, I recently found one advertised - for $12,000 !!. Ye Gods, that's more than half the price of my Ute. Any comments? I'm not remotely interested at that price. Cheers Dale.

Hi all. Has anyone installed an Autoloc WC100 unit in to a VU Ute ? Thanks. Dale.

Recently found one on Ebay, seller seemed amenable to shipping to Canada. Had one bid, rejected, then the listing ran out, but not listed as sold. So, I've asked before but will try again - what modification to a regular VU lid could be done. It needs to fit the sail plane, as I do not want...

Does anyone recall the Standard 10 Ute. As a teenager, I had one. Wish I still did, as it was a cute little thing.

As a matter of interest, my '87 El Camino, which I've owned since '93, has a 4 bbl Rochester and a cat. Car is 100% original, with all the emission control system, including the air injection, still fitted and fully functional. In all the years I've owned it, it has never had a serious problem...

Was/is there a good book specifically on the history of the Holden Ute ?

Just read the interesting threads re. storage. If anyone has, or knows of one, for a VU Maloo for sale I would appreciate the contact.

Hi all. Was quite keen on the idea of a hard lid for my Vu Maloo. but it seems they are virtually impossible to come by. Even if I could now find one, I imagine shipping to Canada would make it prohibitive. Any thoughts ? All the present suppliers say they don't make them because of the sail plane.

In case you were wondering.

Puzzled by the column lock on my 2002 VU Maloo. It is slightly loose on the column shroud. So, having removed various other makes over the years, I thought " No trouble, I'll punch out the shear bolts and replace with regular bolts". Small problem - there is no visible evidence of any...

What difference would a 10 tooth versus 11 tooth pinion make ?

Hi all. I have a Firestone CR5001 Airbag Kit, bought in error. Shame to waste them, so if anyone wants them they may have them for the cost of shipping from Vancouver, Canada. Don't know cost as yet, but can get a quote, no problem.

Does anyone know if there is a program on the Tech2 to check the proportioning valve ? Reason I ask is because my ute had been seriously messed with, re. ride height, so I have no idea what the original sensor link measurement would be. I think the rear ride height is now close to original, but...

Just a few observations on the pros and cons of my two utes. El Camino - Soft ride, not sports car handling. --- Maloo - Fairly harsh ride, sports car handling. Low HP, but good gas mileage. --- HP - Wow, but gas mileage - What can I say...

Maloo meets El Camino - and snow !

Not sure what Series 1 and Series 11 Ute refers to. Could someone explain please? Thanks, Dale.

I need front rotors, but there are so many variations, in size and brand, not sure what to order. I'm assuming they are 330 mm, but not really sure of that. I also assume the cheaper ones are not worth buying. Would be grateful for any advice .

Hi. Does anyone have a VU11 Maloo soft tonneau bag for sale, and would be prepared to ship to Canada ? Thanks, Dale.

Always had a soft spot for GM's "T" bar shifter, so -----

Couple of shots of my Maloo, with Pontiac headlights.

Hi all. Has anyone modified a VU11 hard lid to fit a VU11 Maloo with sailplane ?

Hi all. Just wondering if any one has ever managed to fit traction control to a VU Maloo.

Hi all. Question re. front ride height. My new acquisition has been dramatically lowered at the front. I want to return it to standard height and install some some non teeth jarring tires. Have been unable to find the free standing length of the standard front springs, as I can have some made...

Hi all. New member, hope this post is in the correct place. Just imported a Maloo to Canada, and now have it legally certified for regular use in our Province. Major problem was modifying headlights to LHD, also getting daytime running lights functioning. Does anyone know if LHD headlights...
