We are a spoiled mob, whatever we drive there is always something faster, handles better and is more desirable. If we do have the dream car we aren't game to take it on the road otherwise it will get too many K's on it, the paintwork might chip, the rain will make it grotty or the sun will fade...

Are the Bosch ones advertised on ebay the same as originals? I had a VZ at a workshop and the 02 sensors codes kept coming up, I said put some new ones in thinking they wouldn't gouge too much, they charged close to $600 for two! They said the price was so expensive because they were genuine...

The rails on the roof of the Adventra are getting a bit corroded and crappy. I have to do the interior roof lining and while I was at it I thought I might delete the roof rails. Can you get those long fairings from any model wagon without any rails or slots for roof luggage? I have plenty of...

Is the VZ auto the same as a VY Adventra box part from the transfer case? The VZ sometimes throws a code that says "No engagement of clutch C1 at neutral control on BCM" The machine has done in excess of 300'000 k's, I was thinking of getting the transmission serviced. If there is major problem...

Does anybody find VY seats uncomfortable? I have a VY Adventra CX8 and find after 20 minutes they get very uncomfortable. The seats were worn so I got the fabric redone and the foam repaired/replaced but it didn't make any difference to the comfort. I don't know what sort of foam was used, could...

VZ, problem started a few years ago. First off it would not start then a day later fire up no problems, then progressed to longer spells of not starting. It finally came up overheated on the dash, the wife got out and had a look the engine was not hot. Went into limp mode and got home, then ran...

I have a VY Adventra that uses a fair bit of fuel, I had it tuned when I got it quite a few k's ago. The car had a mafless tune when I got it. After the tune the fuel use got down to under 11 L/100k's, now varies on use to average around 14/15L/100k's. I am not familiar with modern computer...

Got a VY Adventra, been having trouble with the aircon for a while. I have taken it to 2 different companies to check it out with no luck. The gas is still good and everything appears to work just no cooling most of the time then it will kick in and work when you least need it. A code of 17...

There's no noise from the fuel pump in the tank after turning on the ignition, the car won't start. Turns over, kicks but won't start. There was a check engine light came on just before I got home. Engine turned off now it won't start. Needs a new fuel pump?

Adventra VY LS1..............I have checked and oiled both idler/tensioner pully bearings, they feel and sound ok. While the belt was off I felt the waterpump, it wasn't notchy and was quiet. Belt back on and the loud squeak still there. Waterpump or alternator seems only choice? I tried to...

Why does the spare tyre rim have an 80K limit sticker on it? The tyre normal size and rated the same as the fitted tyres.

I have searched the forum and not found anything similar. Adventra VY V8. It will not cool, came on gradually took maybe 12 months. When first driven it goes to hot no matter what the outside temp or what temp is put on the CC. First it used to be only a short time, now blows mainly hot. I have...

Have a VZ with problems. Initially the display disappeared freezing where the needles/ hands were. That was still running that way for a couple of weeks ok. Then after a day with no use it wouldn't start, fires intermittently and sounds strange while turning over. Have tried all fuses, all ok...

I think this wagon came with 17" mags, now has 15" steel rims. The tyre placard says 17" standard but only going to a 205/50X16. Would a 205/55X16 be OK and legal? I have a set of Adventra 17" mags with 205/55's on them, would they be the right offset? There's bugger all difference in size, from...

I'm trying to find new rubbers for the sill on a VY wagon. I have tried searching but came up empty. The rubber I'm after is the one that goes from the front door and continues under the rear door to the back wheel arch. What is it called? Can you still buy these from Holden dealership?

Anybody still running one of these dinosaurs? Do they have a whine or different noise to the normal 2wd wagon? Ours has had new diff bearings and both rear wheel bearings replaced but still has a noticeable whine. Thinking only thing left is transfer case or mebe front diff but noise appears to...

Anybody had problems with rear spoiler/deflector/dust gatherer on Adventra wagon? Ours lost the top layer that looks like it was only glued on. I have another outer layer to put on and was wondering what sort of adhesive to use.

Were the optioned 16" steel rims on the Adventra standard Commodor offset? Will 15" steel rims fit The Adventra?
