Thanks for your reply cruising. No sunroof and windscreen is original. I’ll try your suggestion regarding the hvac intake area and then go from there. I’ll update when I get to it. Thanks again

Morning guys, hoping someone can give me some advice regarding interior water leak. A couple times in the past 6 months I have had water dripping down from dash on drivers side. Each time there was no excessive use of air con or raining etc. The other day came back to car and found it was...

Good evening all, hoping someone can help me out working out what a part number fits. All I can find online is Pontiac and Cadillac fitment. I am thinking it may fit vz-vf 3.6 and 6 litre commodore.Hopefully someone has an old wheel hub laying around and could match it up. part number is...

Thanks again fu and brains. Busy with work at the moment but once I get a moment I’ll take a look and update if I find something of interest

Thanks eat your brains. No I don’t think it could be external source. It rained really hard about a week ago and no issue. Yesterday it was 40 degrees so the air con was cranking for about an hour when it started. I will check the firewall either way. Thanks , any more ideas would be great...

Merry Christmas to all, on my way home from work tonight my 05 v6 vz was so kind as to begin leaking on my feet in the drivers footwell. Just a couple drops coming from behind the steering column. Reaching my hand up behind the column I can feel it is dripping from the top down. The liquid was...

Thanks abba. I’ll double check. Yep I washed the car when I bought it. Thought I’d got rid of the spider. Couple days later webs are back. Wash again. Same again. I figure it’s just meant to be he has until Sunday when I sell it to vacate my wing mirror.

Hey guys, just about to sell the car. Finished servicing it. I replaced the front brake pads. The rotors probably should of been done but trying to do it all cheaply. Now there is this scraping noise when braking. Is this just the noise of good pads scraping on bad rotors? The rotors weren’t...

I appreciate your reply. Vacuum leak- I have replaced all of the upper breather hoses and fixed the elbow coming off throttle body. I don’t want to spend money on the car as it’s not my keeper. So I am limited by the tools I have and don’t have a smoke machine engine data- I am not very good...

New day new problems. I have an vz le0 wagon. It’s coming up beautifully just done all vacuum hoses and fixed pcv (completely blocked). Replaced air filter and going to do oil change with new filter and fuel filter tommrow. Just done front and back brakes aswell. Now my issue is that there is a...

that would be awesome mate. Unsure how I can direct message on here but if you can email at [email protected] I’ll give you some postage details and send you a bit of money for postage. Thanks mate

Fantastic I’m with ya. Looks like I already have all the rights holes in the back. The drop down centre piece and flexible arms are not needed for rear fitting so just get them out the way? Then you fit it with the two off centre lower brackets and the two brackets top right corner? Awesome…yep...

Thanks for your reply Rambunctios. Most of your post is about fitting it between front and back seats. I was more intent on fitting behind the backs seats. Can this be done? And if so how so? Thanks mate

I have got a cargo barrier that I’m trying to put into a vz wagon. My understanding it is the updated version part number 92183873. Bit confused by the install. What I am guessing is that the two spokes in the top corners go into the roof and then the nut and bolt goes through it on the other...

Thanks for your reply Fu, Interesting about the temperature, my VZ sv6 with the LY7 sits just below half way and every car I have driven before sits in the same place. I didn't know there was that much variation between cars. That's awesome once less problem About the handbrake, can you...

Morning guys, picked up a beaten VZ wagon last night on the dirt cheap, going to make it into a little project. Cosmetically, the issues are massive.... but that's a story for another day. The good part is the engine is the engine and trans seem to be in ok condition. Its LE0 engine with 230000...

Morning guys. Happy grand final day. So redoing the intake manifold today. Using gasket sealant this time. On the lower intake manifold gasket I put a thin layer of sealant pretty much all over. Occurred to me now that perhaps water/coolant flows across that to cool cylinder. Have I made a big...

Good afternoon guys. So I got a replacement OEM breather hose set up and have fitted it. A lot of the hissing has died down with it.I had a good listen and realised one of the lines coming off power steering reservoir was loose and making noise. By wriggling it to one side I am able to stop it...

Not the catch can. Just bypassed it with the hoses. The noise does sound like is coming from the top right corner somewhere. If it was a leak at the gaskets would it be that loud? I know I’ve tested gas connection before with soapy bubbles I might give that a shot. I’ll just keep fiddling with...

@Jolls my misunderstanding mate no worries. Between the the 6 cars we have at the house there’s always plenty of oil on the WHITE driveway. Who thought that was a good idea. So just given the car a good inspection after a drive. Seems there’s a vacuum leak somewhere or many places by how loud...

What’s your point I was saying it was hard to get off. Don’t see wheys wrong with that or how it’s relevant that I’m young

@Fu Manchu @krusing thanks for your replies guys. Sorry I have been busy getting the car back together. Yep you were right they weren’t coming out. Unfortunately I didn’t see your post until after I stuffed them. Lesson Learnt. pulled the upper intake manifold and replaced cheap from wrecker...

Putting all new vacuum hoses in for pcv line. How the hell do you get the two connectors out on either side of the plenum. In the video I watched they just pull out. Can’t for the life of me get them out. The valve are to soft to apply any real force, vice grips just slip on them. Any help...

Had a crack at fixing the droopy glove box today. It pisses me right off every time I get in the car. I ordered and used this kit https://www.australianonlinecarparts.com.au/holden-commodore-lower-glove-box-clip-bump-stop-se the bump stops are great. Absolute no brainer with those. For the...

Recently put a new exhaust and new wheels on my sv6 vz. Thought I’d post it up for anyone interested with their own car. I will also be doing the pcv valve mod and catch cans soon and hopefully clean the fuel injectors. I will update this thread when I get to it. 3 months ago I wouldn’t of even...

Good morning fellas. I have been looking at a irs rear cradle online with an m80 trutrac diff. The diff is what I really wanted but seeing that it comes together I thought I’d ask. Irs essentially is the rear wheels will move up an down independent of each other. This gives you greater...

Thanks for your reply mate. You mean the stud hole diameter might be larger? Why are they different I thought ve left the stud width mm at 1.5 and only changed the length from 12 to 14mm with the hub centric rings. If the Center bore is 76 and vz hub is 69.5. The stud rings I need to get are...

Good morning all, I don't have much experience with aftermarket wheels. Hoping you guys could offer some clarification. I found a set of ROH mantis wheels 17 inch. I know holden made a whole curfuffle about the wheel bore changes and stud length changes between ve and vz but this will not matter...

No stress. Thought that counts. Skylarking, yep think I have seen you on some others threads talking about that. Looks like a great cheap method.... I was thinking seeing that for me it is a reasonably big job for my first time ill get them done with ultrasonic cleaner and flow test. Maybe you...

That would be great. I appreciate it

Guys. all sorted. You were spot on eat your brains. I actually mounted it on the car before realising I had assembled it wrong, so I took it off fixed it and put it back. What I completely missed doing this was that when removing from the vehicle the rod shaft was spinning loosening the mount...

Guys, appreciate your replies. Fu, yep that's the plan. Sometimes there's obvious things you just completely miss. Interesting thought. I don't think so, I did reuse the nut original but it did look to be in good condition. Maybe ill try replacing and swapping over. Eat ya brains. Totally missed...

hey guys. Hoping you could help out with my issue now. I finished the job last Friday. The brakes and suspension all went back in I was happy with what I had learnt to do. I suspected I may have issues however as the drivers side reassembly was different to the passenger side. I have not driven...

Live and learn

Update. Sorry to those who were upset by my stupidity. Thanks to those who helped. I have managed to repair the situation without any significant new parts. I tried every single trick in the book. Screw extractor started to work before snapping sending my further down **** creek. Was about to...

Hey guys appreciate the help. Yes I don't know what I'm doing you make a good point. I was just giving it my best shot. Gotta start somewhere. I was planning on taking it to a mechanic for a brake and suspension check after. I'm not doing it for the money doing it to learn weyb legend as always

Evening. Been doing the shocks. Everythings out of the car new shocks are in springs but not fitted to car. On the passenger side I have snapped a few bolts. The first are on the caliper bracket thing. They are pull out plug with goo inside with a bolt on top. What are they for and can I just...
