Got a vacuum leak somewhere, sounds like its coming from behind the throttle body (from inside it sounds like behind the dash). the car drives pretty much perfect on gas and on petrol it barely idles/sounds like its running on 5. Already replaced fuel pump/filter so def not that. Im thinking...

Seems to be a common problem, I've done a search and found some things to try but had no luck so far. Either it keeps blowing or the threads died. Car is a series 1 VT Calais The issue is my brake light fuse keeps blowing. Sometimes instantly, sometimes it could take a few minutes with the...

I just bought a VT Wagon for the Mrs and was wondering what car these alloy's came from. The last owner had no idea and he put these on and took the stockies off. Google isn't helping :( lol Cheers, Paul.

Hey all, Looking to upgrade the Mrs wagon to a VT Wagon. I was wondering what I should look out for when I go and look at some. Bad points, good points, stuff like that. I haven't owned a VT before so I don't know all the niggly little faults and stuff like that they have. Cheers, Paul.

I've done a seach, and found answers ranging from wheel bearings, steering rack, shitty power steering fluid and too much pressure in the lines. Problem is: Whirring while turning, more noticable at low speed and shuddering whilst turning. More so turning left than right. This problem came...

I have a VR V6, and have noticed on the drivers side, coolant bubbling out a pin-sized hole in the rocker cover gasket on the top near the injectors. Is it as simple as replacing the gasket, or is there something else inside that will need replacing? I did a search but couldnt find much...

I'm after what people have paid, or know what price people have paid so I don't get ripped off lol. I'd do it myself, but I have no anchor points in the floor and roof. Yes, I have ripped out the carpet and roof lining for a look and looked at about 5 or 6 at the wreckers where I took the...

I put a 2nd hand cigarette lighter in the wago, and it works fine lighting the cigarette lighter attatchment, but refuses to power up my ipod. the ipod car kit works fine in my other car so I know it must be the cigarette lighter. Would crappy wiring cause this (too thin) or have I just got...

I'm might be looking at changing the wheels on the mrs. wagon, since it's for her and she doesnt really care if it has big rims (and bigger tires are too much for our budget at the present time and she hated that the 17's on my old VR rubbed the guards even though it was standard height :hmmm:)...

I need a new tailgate for my wagon, and I recon the black thing on the top of the tailgate is from a VT? Did VR/VS have anything similar? And should I leave it off when I get the new tailgate?

I picked up a freebie cargo barrier and grabbed all the brackets and bolts from the wreckers, and in my wagon there is no holes in the floor for it to mount to, or am I looking in the wrong place for them. The wagons at the wreckers had holes on both sides next to the wheel arches. I've seen...

Did a search, but I am after what size bolts/thread size is needed to install a cargo barrier into a VR Wagon. I'm wondering if the bolts for the seatbelts, or the ones for the front seat rail that bolt to the floor are the right size? Cheers Paul

Well, I had to get rid of my 5.0L and pick up a V6 wagon to fit in 2 kids and their 552143216kg's of cargo they need just to leave the house lol. I'm not building this to smash V8's or Super6's as this is my wifes daily driver now, but I at least want to make it a nice, comfortable car to drive...

I'm trying to replace the latch thingy on the back of my rear seat. My manual says to remove the screws and the latch comes out, but on mine I have rivets on both sides. Do all of the VR's have this? or when I get a new one from the wreckers will it have screws if I get a VN, VP or VS one? orrrr...

Over a year ago I had a problem of the battery draining back through the alternator. I found on here that it was most likey faulty diodes in the alternator. The problem fixed itself (as they do lol) and I never had the battery drain again. Last week, the battery went flat, so I checked it with a...

I didn't want to be flamed and dig up my old thread, but have another question about sump bolts for a VR 5.0L I've been given 2 thread sizes, 1.75mm by Autobarn and 1.5mm by Supercheap (though the guy said its the same as a V6 one). Which one is right, as I don't want to strip the thread in...

Did a search, got literally everyinthg besides code 31, I let a well known Auto place put an alarm in my car about a year ago, 6 months after that the alarm died, its under warranty but I really dont want them touching the car again unless its absolutely nessersary. (which I bet ill have to as...

Just wondering if the Calais had boot carpet on the inside boot lid on the top and back? If so, in the future I'll be looking for some crappy ruined pieces to use as templates with the rest of the standard boot carpet, as I can get hold of unlimited rolls of car carpet for factory direct...

Might be given one of these for free, as long as I do t up lol its an ex variety bash car with a 318ci. Havent even seen it yet, been in storage for a bit, needs a lot of work cause of what it was used for. What are peoples opinions on these? Plans would be to paint it black and nice old...

Didn't want to thread dig because it annoys people, but I found this and have the same problem, all the posts I have found, don't really have much in them, and theres not really a solution either that I've found. Last time I checked I had no error codes, and It's been doing it for ages, but...

Did bit of a search, with the info I found, I decided it might be easier to rebuild a box while using my old one still, its been like it for ages now and still pretty much works. Just a few Q's 1/ Which 5.0 Box was the tuffest? 2/ I relise VN's were different to VP? and above so I wont use...

Anyone play San Andreas multiplayer? If so what server? Here's a link if noone has seen it. SA-MP San Andreas Multiplayer mod for Grand Theft Auto (GTA SA) (Sorry if it' been posted before)

I know this is probably a stupid question, I know windex on the tint side of the window is bad, but will it do any damage to the non-tint side? and would metho and water mix be ok to clean the tint side with? Cheers

If the colours all match up sweet, Im looking to trade my boot with the spoiler on it, for one that has no spoiler, in Alaskan white, prefer VR boot as VS has 2pak paint. Cheers

Im considering removing this. I'm pretty sure it's the SS one, how much could I re-sell it for? Also do people think that VR/VS's look better with or without them? Cheers.

Probably a noob question, just wondering what these are. Rounded one is on both sides of the car, theres two square ones, one is plugged in and nowhere to put the other one, unless I unplug the one thats plugged in. I thought maybe SS spotties? Cheers

chirping. I know it is illegal, but what is the actual fine and fine description for it? My car has a habit of chirping whilst driving like the oldest granny on the road and ALWAYS when next to Mr. Plod. One even pointed and started cutting sick at me when he was with another pulled over driver...
