    Okay so some ( insert various profanities) has gone and nicked the Calais badge off the back of my vs and in the mean time they've nicked the side indicators as well and on one aide completely pulled the loom out!

    [VR-VS] Re-tinting faded reflectors

    okay so if anyone's had a vs then they know the problems with the fading reflectors; apparently aftermarket ones don't fade but i've never seen it confirmed or anything but somehow we always end up with reflectors looking something like this: minus the tape around them naturally. I've been...

    removing the (floor?) trim...

    yeah i was thinking about that but this holds the edge of the carpet down so if i wanna run it under the carpet i'd have to lift it up and then take off the trim to put it back underneath?

    VS Calais Door Trim Lights

    sorry and this may be the stupid thing to say but why not just figure out which wire sends the impulse to turn on the lights; splice it and run it to the positive of your light and then just ground it? that way only the light corresponding to the door would turn on? or have i blatantly missed...

    "re tinting" reflectors

    hi all; i've got the usual problem of the reflectors fading on the rear tail lights and (trying to save a bit of money) i've decided to attempt to re tint them. from what i've read / understood all it requires is a bit of spray on red glass tint whilst masking off the rest of the light. is it...

    VS Lowering.....

    vs 95 executive problem

    VS Powersteering problem

    the same problem happened to me a little while ago and brett_jjj recommended that what i do is spray some wd40 inside the shoe between the bush where the steering column shaft passes through the firewall into the engine bay. apparently what happens is that the factory grease wears away over time...

    VS calais Steering whine at low speeds

    hey guys, i've recently begun noticing that at low speeds turning corners or round abouts i can hear a whine from the front of the engine. I've deduced that it is most likely the power steering pump (or something in the power steering system) as it only happens when i turn the wheel whilst...
