Hey all, Been scouring the forum for an answer, can’t really find one for me. Was testing my car out today around the block, probs going max 40kmh, and I hit a shallow pothole and heard a pretty loud clang. Then the sound of something metal dragging. Thought I’d lost my exhaust or something...

I’m quite a fan of these taillights, I think they would suit my VZ Wagon quite nicely. My only issue is I cannot find anywhere to purchase them online. All I am able to find are the same shape but instead it has black internals rather than chrome. Any help is appreciated

Hey, just after some advice. I’m having fault 31 coming up on ‘96 VS Ute, turns over but won’t start. As far as I understand it’s the BCM not sending a signal. I also think the key might be broken. My question is, will either of these 2 fixes work? 1) replace BCM + key fob Or 2) get a new key...

Hey guys, here again. So I have two weird problems with my Commodore VE Ute 2008 5spd automatic. 1) the car has recently gotten a gearbox change, (torque converter stayed the same) and after driving it for a while I realised that it does not rev past 5,000RPM. I used to be able to go past it...

My Vt commodore struggles when you give it some power when going up an incline, it’s like a spluttering and shakes the car a little bit. Have also notice it also does the splutter thingy when you plant your foot when stopped sometimes. The only things I have done to the car is headers, catback...

Hi there Just bought a boot lid for my VX commodore and the looms that are OEM to the car is a little different compared to the ones that came with the new boot lid, so as you might assume I'm a bit lost. Do I need to buy a seperate loom/adapter or modify it or something? Or do I need to...

My 2011 ve sv6 is driving fine then every so often the engine light starts blinking wildly, dash instruments go haywire, power is lost cutting in and out. I pull over turn the car off, wait a bit and it starts up fine. Then drives fine for a bit and does it again. I lip it home leave it for the...

My 2000 VT likes to take its time to switch between Drive, Park, Neutral etc. While it’s still, when picking a gear it lunges a fair bit too. I’m still fairly new to cars and owning a commodore, does this seem like an issue? Would my transmission be on its way out? Or is this just another one...

Is it possible to change the tension or the stiffness of the indicator stick? Mine feels quite weak and as if it will break soon, but the previous owner had already replaced it once. Would I need to buy a new stick?-

Hi All, as the title suggests I have been through 2 tensioner pulleys in the past 2 years and now it needs replacing for a 3rd time even though the last one was only done 3 months ago, but once again it's screaming its head off as soon as the engines warm! Surely there's some underlying problem...
