I took the wheels off my stato and put them on the calais today, it looks killer but the o/s/r rim doesn't sit well in the wheel arch, n/s/r sits fine as does the front on both sides, I never noticed a problem with the stock 17's on it. These rims are 18x8 with 235/40/18 tyres and the car is...

Hey guys, I am wanting to hook up some dash pod gauges (oil pressure and boost) to my VY Calais, I have found on ebay a couple of different pods, the cheaper ones (saas) say they wont suit models with climate control, the ones that do suit cost $150 plus... I would rather get a cheaper pod and...

Hi guys, Im having some issues and electrical diagnosis isn't my strong point. 1. A week ago my digital climate control unit **** itself, a decent puff of smoke from the dash, pulled the unit apart and there is a fried capacitor. I got a second hand unit from the wreckers, rigged it up...
