Hey mate could you do a video on how to replace the vy front side guards blinker bulbs and how to get the blinker housings off and back on ?

If you don't mind me asking, how much did the part cost and where did you purchase it? Is it a special order or do they keep them in stock?
@dismissedtub671716 күн бұрын
i bought mine off of ebay for $30 (www.ebay.com.au/itm/253358825036?hash=item3afd5cde4c:g:PqoAAOSwYXpioZ3c) and Im pretty sure its special order from most places.

Hey mate I had check engine light and airbag light come on plus a little x in the bottom corner of the left side digital display they just came in randomly and will go away when you do a hard reset but they end up coming back on after driving a few times I’ve check the abs module and that’s find I replaced the thermostat and top hose should I replace the sensors too if that’s the cause of the lights I can’t put a standard scan tool on it as they won’t read cause it’s an ex cop car and I can’t afford a snap on scan tool so plz let me know what it could be

Sorry for the late reply but could it be that you gotta use a obd1 scanner for the older cars? I don't know much about ex cop cars but I would try taking it to super cheap as I think they use a high end one and that might be able to scan for you. But other than that I don't have much experience dealing with fault codes.

What holds the rotor onto the hub any bolts?
@dismissedtub67173 ай бұрын
Um I’m not sure what you exactly mean. but if your talking about when you go to put the calliper back on you use the lug nuts to hold it. Or If you’re talking about once it’s all done and the wheel goes back on. It’s the wheel that pushes against the rotor which pushes the rotor to the hub then gets tightened with the lug nuts to keep it against the hub. Hopefully that make sense.

@dismissedtub67173 ай бұрын
I’m pretty sure the one I used was 2830mm. Because with the way the part number is 6pk means how many ribs are on the belt (so 6 ribs) and then the 2830 means how long it is (2830mm). I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure that’s how it works.

Best to change DFI Module at the same time as coil packs. Genuine holden coil packs are more reliable. My 2002 Vy ecotec has about 380000km and still has original coil packs. Will be changing soon with genuine parts, not aftermarket rubbish.

I think Castor bushes were the first mod/upgrade I ever did on my VX Calais way back in 2005/6. Used the Nolathane ones and they have lasted this whole time. Probably needs a regrease. Turning the steering releases tension on castor rod when trying to install them. Using a jack to tighten up or loosen the big nuts helped if I recall. I believe I had a $15 dollar Repco socket set back then and an old style el cheapo beam style torque wrench. Now with my whizbang tools it would probably take just as long 😁I remember the Nolathane kit gave recommendations for the caster. I know I set it to something but cant remember and not sure how it affected me 300,000k's later....

Undoing the park brake causes that whole section to drop without having to loosen any bushes apart from the shock bolt. May still need compressors if you have heavy duty springs.

since it's been a bit I don't think you'll see this, but if a bolt/nut is stripped you can you can use the locking pliers or a clamp instead of a spanner, you won't get the bolt/nut on tight that way but it's a neat trick if you want to put a fresh bolt/nut on there, sometimes it's properly buggered though and you've got to whip out the nut cutter or Dremel to get it off
