    Windscreen nozzles.

    I have been having problems with windscreen nozzles on the vh. new nozzles motor and lines. To be quite honest I could piss faster. No amount of adjusting seems to make any difference. i have tried the same nozzles on the vs with the same results. Any ideas anyone?

    Starting in overdrive

    My VH has a VP V8 4 speed auto. It starts in park ok, wont start in neutral but will start in overdrive. Normally I start in park so it isn't a problem. It won't start in any other gear. Anyone any idea what the cure is and is it common?

    Brake testing

    I have mentioned more than once or twice etc that I took the 4 pot calipers brakes off my VT Clubsport and put them on my VH. The VT has ABS that the VH doesn't have so perhaps the results won't be the same. I once had to do a panic stop on the VT, the way it pulled up was to put it mildly...

    inlet valves

    Many years ago I inadverently bought some manley 2.02 inlet valves for a Chev instead of a Holden. The length of them is 5.040 as opposed to the Holden length of 5.187. They only cost me $100 so the price was good. Can these be made to work with the VT heads I have?

    Return fuel line.

    The return rubber fuel line on my VH has been there since the injected motor was fitted and that was approximately 24 years ago. I haven't had any trouble with it but is there a life span for rubber hose? Secondly is the return line under pressure or can I just replace it if necessary?

    Electric rear window regulators

    The electric rear windows weren't working properly when I bought my Vh in 1998. On one occasion a friends son after playing with the left rear was able to get it down partially. However that was over 22 years ago. The Auto sparky who wired my car was able to get the right rear down a few inches...

    Brake Calliper paint

    The callipers on my VH are painted black however I would like them to be the same colour as the car. Does anyone know who mixes heat paint? I have tried quite a few here in Ipswich but have drawn a blank. The colour of the car is venetian red.

    VH bonnet and bootlid clips

    Has anyone used the bonnet and bootlid clips for a VH. Mine arrived today and can't figure out how they could possibly fit without chopping them up. The ones I bought are supposed to be for all VH's.

    The koni shock absorber on the right hand side is loose. The left hand side is good. There is no provision for a bolt in the bottom of the shock absorber. Any ideas anyone on how to fix this problem?

    Cylinder heads

    I am playing around with some Holden v8 cylinder heads. Perhaps I will one day use them but at least it gives me something to play with. When I put the valves back in so I could polish the combustion chambers I noticed that one of the inlet valves was about 1mm higher than the other three I have...

    Power steer belt squeal.

    VE keys

    It was quite a while ago I asked why it was that my two keys acted differently. The main key opened all four doors on the first click and the second key just opened the drivers door on the first click. I didn't really get a conclusive answer so I asked a Locksmith. He told me that nothing could...

    VH rubber door seal

    Hope someone can help. I am looking for the rubber seal that goes around the inside of door opening. Rare spares appear to have them but if I could find something a bit cheaper I wouldn't mind. I tried Clark rubber but they didn't have anything suitable.

    VH SLE windscreen mould

    I recently bought windscreen rubbers for my car. The front mould was wider than the back. The person who came to fit the windscreen said it was the wrong one so I got in contact with the company who provided the windscreen rubber. They said that it was the correct one and that they would happily...

    Revs at idle

    VH bumper over riders

    In the last few days I have just realised that my VH should have bumper over riders. This is after owning the car for over 23 years. It didn't take me long searching to know that my chances of finding any are very low and even if I did the price would be prohibitive. I saw a VH the other day and...

    Air con compressor

    It has been over 20 years since the air con has worked in my vh. When the heater radiator started leaking I blocked it off at the water pump. As the motor is still out I have decided to get it going properly. My question is which compressor should I use? The motor is a vp v8. Sanden have listed...

    Tacometer

    The Tacometer oi my vs Ute works intermittently. As an example I changed the spark plugs and it worked well for a while. Today I took it for a run (went well). It wasn't working when I started then worked well for about 30 kilometers and then died again. Has anyone any idea why this would...

    ve centre console power window switch

    The centre console power window switch on my ve will lower the rear windows but not raise them. They work fine with the back switches. It's no biggie as I don't use them anyway however it would be nice if they worked as they should. I have seen centre console switches for about $28. It seems way...

    Hidden wiring

    My vh is in the slow process of being restored. Hopefully I will have it back on the road this year though there is no hurry. Does anyone know of anyone in the Brisbane area who could do a hidden wiring job for me? I have been quoted a price of $2500 while not knowing seems a bit steep for me

    Rechroming door belt moulding

    I am getting my vh ready to be painted (again) and I am stripping all the chrome off. The seals on the door belt need replacing and the chrome is not too good on a couple of them. The price of new ones are over $120 each. Has anyone had any of their mouldings rechromed and how much did it cost?

    Inverter generators

    I am thinking about getting a inverter generator. At this stage though I am still undecided I am looking at a Briggs and Stratton 2200.

    Vh heater

    Front mounted come racing air cleaner

    I'm looking for a front mounted air cleaner for a come racing twin throttle body. An air cleaner on it's own would be okay but I would prefer one on a pod. I have seen a picture of one, possibly it was a one off.
