LX Torana 202 Starting Dramas
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Sat, 10/05/2008 - 15:18.Hi there,
Just a quick question, my Torana has over the past few months developed a problem.
It now takes ages to start, I have to have the choke on full, and pump it twice, and hold the accelerator to the floor. The first time, It doesn't fire much, if at all.
Second time, a little more.
It usually runs after the third/fourth time.
Any advice would be really appreciated.
Cheers!

Guarded HKing response.
Submitted by HKing of Bris. on Fri, 09/05/2008 - 21:47.
Apart from several scratches & small dent, the badge surface is partly scuffed off, blinker lense cracked and the bumper end has a stack of Falcon rubbing strip rubbed onto it.
As his car hit me from the right, my left front wheel gave the gutter a fair whack.
I assume a proper wheel alignment is part of the deal with an insurance repair on this kind of collision...

Window Rollers????
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Fri, 09/05/2008 - 10:22.Hi,
I have a HQ Coupe and am trying to repair the window rollers in it. I have purchased all the kits from rare spares however they do not tell me how to replace the 'stud rollers'. The original ones look as though they have burred over edges. Punched maybe? The ones that rare spares supplied are too big too fit in the original hole and i'm not sure how to fix them in place??? Any help would be great!!
