240km? That's like 3 days driving where I live. How many things can possibly go wrong in 240km? It wasn't still under warranty?

I think about that when I open the service manual in a car I've just purchased for less than a thousand bucks and see written inside the front cover how much the original owner paid...

Is that your shopping list Fu? To be honest, the part that I like the most is the old school rod holding up the bonnet, because if I have to replace one more set of bonnet struts...

Umm... cool story Bro. Was there a question in there or you just catching us up on how you spent your weekend? I mean, I'm cool either way, it's just odd to see a post that's not a question.

Well, if that was the only fault code, then apparently, yes. Don't wanna ask the obvious, but do you have enough coolant in it? Watch the precise temp, not the gauge, and see whether it has any weird fluctuations. You activate the precise temp display by holding down the mode and down buttons...

A guy I know is parting out a VN Calais. Most interesting garden ornament I've seen in a while.

Thanks for coming back to update. Nothing worse than searching for help with something and not knowing what the solution ended up being because OP never came back to say.

Sorry, thought I sent this the other day. Does the stereo still work or is it coded out? Do you have the code for it? It's often written in the front of the owner manual. It's a very neat interior - it's clearly been kept clean over the years - it's not grimy - I've bought some nasty cars. Work...

Sorry about your father, assuming your parents had you at around the same age mine did, it was too soon for him. You can list the car in more places than just the one. Personally, I'd go with facebook marketplace because it's free and ebay motors over gumtree, because both ebay and gumtree...

Holden used Loctite 609 - the anaerobic one. It cures in the absence of air (the opposite to traditional thread lockers and glues and whatnot), so not until the bolts are screwed in and air can't reach the threads. This is the stuff here. I use it for repairing the captive nuts in laptops, but...

I based my assumption that they were off a VX based on the 00-Jan marking. The 00 is an abbreviation of the year 2000, when they stopped producing the VT and began producing the VX. I think it's fairly safe to assume they weren't still churning out new rims for VTs that late in the game.

What? Did you reply to the wrong question maybe...?

Bought. You bought some rims. Bring is to brought as buy is to bought. Also, wonder doesn't have a 'u' in it. That said, a photo would help remarkably, but going by the numbers you've got there, I'd say they're off a VX and they're 15 inch. Provided you have 15 inch wheels on your VX, they will fit.

That's what I figured, given the nice little Samsung bluetooth setup it has.

They have different back windows to the each other (different patterns in the demister lines), but I don’t know if that’s related. What makes me think it’s aftermarket is that I own two VTs (a Berlina and an Olympic) and a third VX (it’s an Exec though) and none of them have rear antennas. The...
