    VR wont shift to 4th????

    Yeah mine did it again today as well. I tried everything from power button, flooring it, braking to manually shifting up and down to no avail. Stayed in 3rd at 100km/h. I ended up pulling over and turning the car off for 10 seconds then started and drove off. Seemed to reset it. I wonder if it's...

    Transmission not downshifting properly

    Hey thanks champ. That was exactly what the issue was. I told the mechanic that and he re read the codes and the TPS was an issue. On the live diagnostic the voltage was reading erratically so it defiantly was a faulty TPS sensor. I also have a slight exhaust leak so the oxygen sensor was...

    [308] 308 won't run properly

    Hi mate. Has been a while since I played with a 308 but I put a blue into my HQ Ute a few years back. I also put in a HEI Electric dizzy. I found the electric Dizzys need 12v to the coil so you have to run a relay off your existing 9v ballast wire. I originally tried to power my new electronic...
