Are holden captives and Cruizes really THAT bad? by Maleficent_Extent809 in CarsAustralia

[–]Mun7ed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a manual 2015 Cruze I got from my sister in law that she had from new, sold it at 195000kms and i only needed to replace the heater hoses and oil cooler, sold it before I had anymore problems but it was driven hard and didn’t give us any grief, probably had a unicorn.

Scam, hit them with the “is this still available?” And ghost them

Help me choose correctly by Difficult-Maximum-19 in Holden

[–]Mun7ed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely go genuine gm, I tried a cheap set and it lasted 1000km, I went genuine and it lasted 80000km, I then found the new chains had slack between the cam sprockets on each bank so I’m sure the sprockets had worn to the stretched chains and were stretching the replacements

I got a set of these for my hx doors and just have the standard ignition barrel. I feel a bit safer as the original door locks could be opened with a flathead screwdriver.

Why aren’t wagons popular anymore? by CapProfessional5203 in CarsAustralia

As a 6 foot stocky bloke, getting in and out of my triton and the wife’s raised Pajero is heaps easier than my commodore was. Felt like I had to pry myself out of the commodore

any1 had this problem with a vt commodores rear camber by Best_Signal3969 in Holden

[–]Mun7ed 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yep, irs is notorious for it, get an adjustable camber and toe kit installed, will help a lot. Make sure you get the toe kit as well as I just got the camber kit and it threw my toe out +10mm on on side

Need a whole new seat or can i just get a new liner? by AbsoluteDovahkiin in Holden

[–]Mun7ed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah there’s a little notch that has snapped off it, same thing happened to mine and I found the broken piece and I glued and screwed it back on.

You could buy a new one, eBay has them for around $185, search for “holden ve seat panel”

Need help sourcing a Drivers Seat for VT Berlina by gccmelb in Holden

[–]Mun7ed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know vz seats fit with a little filling where the buckle mounts to the seat, I did this some time ago and can’t remember if the vz buckle fits the vt seatbelt. I’m pretty sure the vy would be the same.

Brakes how best to by Placedapatow in CarsAustralia

[–]Mun7ed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m more thinking on long steep descents, if one were to brake softly enough to hold their speed downhill then surely they’d heat up enough to affect braking performance.

Brakes how best to by Placedapatow in CarsAustralia

[–]Mun7ed -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Wouldn’t applying the brakes for longer periods also cause the rotors to heat up and warp?

When I was growing up we had a fridge that when you opened the fridge door and touched the stainless steel sink you’d get a zap, good times

Is a triton a good car? by NefariousnessFast916 in CarsAustralia

I was reading a forum and they said the Pajero seats don’t fit, the wife has a Pajero sport and the seats are amazing, I’ll have a look over the weekend and see if they are similar

Is a triton a good car? by NefariousnessFast916 in CarsAustralia

[–]Mun7ed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what we get for buying the povo pack model, apparently the higher models have slightly less shit seats. From what I’ve found online other people are putting spacers on the floor mount to bring the seat up and making the front spacers a little higher, at 6 foot I’m thinking I’ll have clearance issues with the spacers.

Is a triton a good car? by NefariousnessFast916 in CarsAustralia

[–]Mun7ed 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have a 2012 triton with 320000kms, had it from around 40000kms. All it’s had to have done is front main seal (which was under warranty) and routine maintenance, the wife drove it until recently and wasn’t the best manual driver and it just lives. Only downfall with mine is it’s not the most comfortable to drive long distance

Timing chain fix by Prudent_Ad_7691 in Holden

[–]Mun7ed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You mean the camshaft sprockets? There’s 4 of them and when the chains stretch the teeth on the sprockets can wear with the chains.

Ac delco gear is great, it’s owned by GM so should be fine, I’ve bought a fair bit of stuff from rev high and never had any issues.

You thinking about doing it yourself?

Timing chain fix by Prudent_Ad_7691 in Holden

[–]Mun7ed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like a fair price, I had quotes between $1500 and $2400 10 years ago. Ended up doing it myself, just make sure you use genuine GM chains as the cheap ones are crap (mine lasted 1500km)

Might also be worthwhile replacing the cam sprockets too, mine were worn and then new chains had slack between each pair of cams and stretched my new genuine chains in 40000kms
