Join the Army lol air force are lazy as, get payed more for nothing lol. Nah it's all good but waggas all the same, be prepared for a tough challenge the biggest culture shock will be the discipline, learn to remember the ranks of your superiors fast, usually corporals, they don't usually like...

$500 for strut bushes!! holy **** tyre power will do it for like $250 supply and fit.

Just replace the hose it's only a small section should be a $10 u pull it job shouldn't have to drop the tank.

^^True but then it wouldn't start again or would soon die after it started up. Could be heaps of things if it's dying when idling could be IAC valve, leaky/dodgy injector, vacuum leak, fuel blockage, ignition module, coil etc. If it dies while driving could also be the above problems, and also...

What should I be looking at/replacing at the 210,000k mark? Going to do the usual oil, filter etc air filter and maf are new. Just done O2 sensors and injectors have been cleaned. Should I do plugs and leads or wait til 250k? Also car's making a whining sound when coming to a stop thinking diff...

Probably leaning towards a complete engine now since iv'e been reading a few threads and the home builds almost always don't go to plan. Are there any other reputable builders you guys would recommend other than pavtek? Just wanna have a squiz around first. Also if I threw a crate motor in what...

Hi all looking at stroking the 304 to 355 in my vt berlina wagon, after a bit more power really for bragging rights lol don't really care about 1/4 mile times or that **** just a smicked up wags. I'm no expert with engines or mods so probs will get help to build it. Would I be better off...

Hi I'm replacing my 02 sensors soon and just want to know seeing as it's not in my useless max Ellery guide what this entails? Is it simply unclip, unscrew, and screw in a clip loom? Or something else I should know? I have had the injectors cleaned prior.

I have a 5.0L vt I want to flush the cooling system, what's the best method and also best way to bleed the system once re filled. I have the max Ellery handbook and it seems ridiculously complicated for a simple coolant change.

Again radius rod to chassis bushes sound fairly likely. Also have you checked ball joints and tie rod ends? I presume the rod ends were replaced when the new rack was fitted?

Also by inner bushes I think husky is refering to the inner control arm bushes in your second pic... these need to be pressed in.

they are the ones in the first pic. but they are rears, the round bar attaching to the control arm is the radius rod/z bar, this is the rear of the radius rod. And no 2 per radius rod so the link is for the full kit for both radius rods. Follow the radius rod from the control arm and you will...

Usually a knock from shifting weight ie braking will be the radius rod to chassis bushes, a big bush at the front of the radius rod with 1 big nut and 4 small nuts, if it's cracked or looks old this is usually the problem.

1st pic radius rod to control arm bushes. 2nd pic inner control arm bushes need t be pressed in.

360x6 full reps

It has to go in for wheel align anyway as the tie rod ends were removed, just they were gonna flog me $100 for a 15 minute job (switching radius rod bushes) so did it myself and I don't want to get a call from them saying they have to switch castor setting or some bullshit and charge me for fk...

Hey replacing my castor rod to chassis bushes with the adjustable nolathane kit, I have a lowered ride just wondering what setting to set it to or just go standard cos be ####ed if I'm paying the noobs who align my wheels to switch castor washers.

I got a decent set for about $40 from supercheap. Was expecting a hard job but they came straight out no problems. Some one must have done them before and put thread locker on them. They come out anti clockwise just in case lol, good luck.

What brand are these and are they any good? Or should I opt for the Bosch ones?

She's just had a full service with leads and plugs replaced but economy is still shithouse, will blast injector cleaner before replacing O2 sensors

Cheers mate they're the ones!

Well my fuel economy is shithouse and I've decided to replace the o2 sensors. Does anybody know the part no or have a link for me? I'ts a 98 vt 5.0L iv8, all parts I can find are for gen3 or ecotech none on ebay for the 98 5.0L. Thanks guys. Or does this look right? O2SEN-1490 - o2 sensors

I would, I recently did them on my vt took about an hour, just make sure you put Loctite back on the allen bolts when installing hub.

Bearings are piss easy to replace but they're a sealed unit so the whole hub needs to be replaced not just the bearing, don't cheap out on the ebay crap or you'll be doing it again in 6 months. Go to repco or similar you can pick a pair up for about $350 bux maybe a bit more for ABS hubs, or see...

Current PB'S... squat/110kgx6 bench/80kgx6 dumbbell bench/34kgx6 leg press/380kgx10 deadlift/140kgx3 lat pulldown/77kgx8 I've come a long way but still a way to go, put on 20 kegs in the last year alone went from 65 kegs and barely benching 20kg to 85kg and benching bodyweight.

New coil pack maybe, is it a 6?

Well $550 later and no problems, the old dizzy was a cheap ebay pos... had 3m play in it, grinded when spun and hall effect was fkd. The new one in mine has a 2 year warranty so fingers crossed!

ABS light came on at start up last night and stayed solid all the way home. What should I check first?

Mines a vt too was thinking firewall I'll see.

Any others? Any need to go a bigger lead I'm not chasing power or anything.

Hey after all the bs I recently went through with my dizzy issue I'm going to put a new coil in and relocate it while I'm at it, Any ideas was thinking the strut tower or firewall. Also pics would be nice too. Thanks.

Sure is mate labelled berlina, cheers for the info!

Alright all the numbers I can find are... No on timing cover: 16K7 VIN:VL8VL35-233 ENG:LV2 TRANS:M40 AXLE:GU4 AVL:066993A Can anyone tell me what these mean, selling the car and would like as much info on it as I can, cheers.

Where can I find the serial no on my 308 black motor? Photo would be helpful.

#### sake it's the hall effect sensor and the dizzy has some play in it :/ CBF doing it myself so they're doing it. Shouldn't have taken it to the first ####wit would've flogged me for everything.

I can't even get the dizzy cap off bloody bananas lol eh takin it to machs tomorrow I'll find out then, Cheers for all the help guys I'll let yas know what he finds.

Went to walk the dogs and it was REALLLY hard to start, cranked for like 15-20 secs 3 or so times with no luck, then it just fired perfectly, but with engine light on the whole way but driving fine. Then fired perfectly with no light on the way home! Hate this **** judging by the hard starts and...

Well the module has been replaced so not that, coil may be dodgy. Worst case scenario is hall sensor ffs.

If it's a cam/crank intermittent signal is this pointing towards hall effect sensor? Or a wiring issue or maybe coil? In the max Ellery with hard start and rough idle or stall it says may be coil or wiring.
