    Fan continues after engine is off

    That sux. Even though mine is a second hand car, i think cos they were able to see the codes last year, they were able to get it booked in and done. The crap part was, when i got it serviced, i mentioned this issue and they HAD to charge me a diagnostic fee of a hundred or so bucks to confirm...

    Wireless Carplay recommendations for ZB RS??

    Thanks for input peeps. Ended up with the Ottocast. Works like a dream. Also using the Quadlock wireless charging system. So much better not having to plug anything in any more.

    Wireless Carplay recommendations for ZB RS??

    HI there. Bought a Carlinkit 4.0 wireless dongle for the ZB and followed all instructions but can't seem to get it to work. Even when the green light on the dongle is flashing, the touch screen is frozen. I did see on a youtube video on this device that they mentioned 'make sure your iphone's...

    VE Trailer ECU failure

    Nope, no power to the orange. I traced it back to the harness (2xred wires) and no power there. I’ve checked the fuse box near the battery and the 30amp trailer fuse is intact. Any suggestion as to where the fault may be. Appreciate your help on this

    VE Trailer ECU failure

    Didn’t check that one. Just the green,yellow, brown & red. Will I just need to turn the car on? What does the orange wire do?

    VE Trailer ECU failure

    Everything looks ok to me. i've disconnected it for now. Looking at wreckers for a 2nd hand unit. I take it, it's not safe to bypass it?

    VE Trailer ECU failure

    Should be able to. I can disconnect harness on the power side and undo the trailer wires from the other. The top slides off it so you can see the circuit board. I’ll get to it today sometime and take a pic. Anything I need to be looking for?

    VE Trailer ECU failure

    Hi there. My trailer lights stopped working & using a tester traced a fault back to the TAG trailer ECU. Power goes in but not out. Can these be fixed or should they be replaced?

    VE Steering controls-radio issue- disconnect?

    Thanks. I only mentioned that amount cos some of the old posts I found were throwing around the $450 to $550 quotes. Someone even had a link to a new one for $500. I’ll do some more googling. Also it’s a 2012 Z series which is a series 2 I think

    VE Steering controls-radio issue- disconnect?

    Hi, I know this has been a popular topic in the past, but I need to revisit the old, "steering wheel turning-changing radio stations" issue. My question - apart from paying $500 odd to get the problem fixed with a new clock spring, is there a way of disconnecting the controls so that you only...

    Rasping/Grinding noise - 6 speed auto

    I had the fluid fully flushed out & replaced yesterday and no noise. Mind you I have 145k on the clock and haven't had the transmission serviced for over 100k of that. If you have a few k's on yours, might pay to get it done.

    Rasping/Grinding noise - 6 speed auto

    I just had the transmission flushed fully yesterday. Embarrassed to say the old stuff was filthy. Anyway, seems to have done the trick. Thanks for the confirmation. BTW had it done at a local Transmission place in Ipswich for $330. Considering other prices were $480 and $380 (Lubemobile with...

    Rasping/Grinding noise - 6 speed auto

    HI there, my VE 6 speed auto has 145k on it. Recently i've noticed when I accelarate from a standstill there is a rasping/grinding noise. Could be transmission as it doesn't make the noise in neutral when i rev it. It only does it when car is cold, only on take off. Seems to go away as I...

    Commodore VE SSV Stability Control Warning Light Fault

    Thought I was going mad. Similar thing happens to me at a similar spot on the Centenary Hwy in Brisbane. Traction contol lights and engine lights pop on and go out after a while. Engine power is normal but when slowing down, the gear changes seem a bit clunky. Turn the engine off, then on...

    Brake warning sound on dash

    Lately my VE's brake warning chime goes off (2 or 3 dings) when I go around corners braking or if I have to brake quickly but not hard enough for the ABS to kick in. I'm not cornering too hard either and it seems only on right turn corners. A warning light comes on the dash also. Any clues?
