I'm fitting a cargo barrier in my 2006 VZ Adventra wagon. I've managed to track a set of socket covers for the vehicle's 4 bayonet sockets. I'd like to find out exactly where the built in sockets are. I imagine that Holden would have had a template of some sort used to avoid cutting holes...

I had the local RAA mechanic in to scan the vehicle. He used a simple hand-held scanner. What he tracked was an incorrect reading on the Exhaust gas analysis. It could possibly be a faulty oxygen sensor. He recommends getting my mechanic to put it on a wide spectrum scanner to give a more...

Thanks harrop.senator. I'm delving into scanning at the moment.

I figured it would need to be read by a diagnostic tool. I guess the writing's on the wall, without the electronic guide I might as well start with the wheels and work up replacing everything as I go!! It'll probably be cheaper to go and see a pro. It could be something simple like a sensor...

A warning on the alert bar reading Check Powertrain came on about a K from home. I stopped to have a look but nothing obvious was wrong. I have no idea what to check apart from engine fluids and seeing whether there are any leaks etc. I've had a look at the obvious stuff but there's nothing...

Gidday again strgas. I found time to get back to my wiring today. I checked back through what I'd done to make sure I'd done the job as suggested. I didn't find any problems there, and followed your last post. The lights are now working well ! The lightbar turns on with high beam and can be...

Thanks strgas, I'll check it out ASAP and get back to you. Again thanks for sharing your knowledge.

I've uploaded a picture in PDF format, I hope it opens ok! Crouchy

I'll organise a pic and post it today. Thanks strgas.

Hi strgas. Still plodding along with putting in an LED 3 input switch in my free time. * I've wired the brass contact from the LED switch to chassis ground *centre switch pin to relay to trigger wire from under the hi-beam relay *opposite outside switch pin to relay pin 86. The system...

Gidday again guys. I did what you advised strgas. My setup looks like this: I haveLightbar to 87. Battery with inline fuse to 30. I have a short jumper lead from 30 to supply power to 86. the switching wire from the vehicle's high beam circuit goes to 85 The lights switch on and off...

Thanks strgas. I'll get that done as soon as I can. I appreciate your help.

I've putting a light bar on my (new to me) VZ Adventra wagon. I have an on/off switch mounted inside, wires run from the switch to relay terminals 85/86. Power from the battery is run to 30 and the light is connected to 87. All looks good. How do I make it turn on with high beam on this...
