HQ won't start
By 95lloyd 10/02/12@17:44Ok so my car was running rough, and then it became more and more difficult to start, someone suggested I check the points, they were pitted so I replaced the contacts and the gap is sweet.
Now I realize the car only starts when I put some petrol in the carb and then it turns over no problem, car runs fine once going but needs gas in the carb to start. Forgive my ignorance I'm trying to learn as much about the old girl as I go.
Any ideas or suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

HQ 202 Throttle linkage return spring
By bearmatt 10/02/12@16:14Hi All,
Doing a bit of work on my sons HQ ute. It has a Red 202 with manual throttle linkage (not cable) with a standard Stromberg carbie. I noticed that between the pedal and the carbie there is only one spring return (at the carbie). Years ago on karts we used to have two, one at the pedal and at the carbie.
Is this normal that a single frail little spring returns the pedal and linkages - or are we missing one somewhere at the pedal ?
Thanks for the help
Matt
VN COMMODORE HELP
By a Holden Fan o.O 10/02/12@16:10Hay guys, I have a VN commodore with a wielded diff and love drifting everywhere when it rains. The other day I drifted off my head and lost it into a gutter. The two passenger side rims are now buckled and i need some more rims. My old man's trailer has 175X14's which he reckons are old holden rims. I measured the stud pattern and are very close to fitting. Will they fit? Because I cant handle not being out there sideways!!!!
I reckon it's on topic
By nobody123 10/02/12@15:06 4575From another thread, "The same dickheads that post all the non old holden unrelated off topic crap that no one comes here for.
Just be warned there are a few here, that stuff up what could be a good forum, with there incessant whining."
So,..... Who's better, Bon Scott or Brian Johnson?

hard gears
By awcallan 10/02/12@13:15 LetsCruise 5112Hello to all,
while out driving the HR today i found it hard to put into gear. At first when motor cool 1st and 2nd easy to get, but after driving for about 15 minutes and stopped at the traffic lights i found it really hard to go into 1st and 2nd gear, 3rd and 4th where easy, took off at the lights in 2nd as it wouldnt go into 1st, when slowing down at the traffic lights it would go down the gears ok, but when put into neutral for a short time it wouldnt go back into 1st, 2nd was hard to get but it went it. When the ute was parked for 10 minutes and gears where easy to get, but after driving for a short time 1st was hard to get again, what do people think it could be?
when cold gears easy to get, but when warm 1st and 2nd hard to get.
thanks

Tyre sizes and roadworthy/legal
By ike 10/02/12@11:48Hi Guys,
This isn't for an old Holden, but for my Jackaroo. I've got to get some new tyres and I have found a few good sets going cheap but they are 255 70 R16 and 265 70 R16 instead of what's currently on it which are 245 70 R16s.
My question is what are the problems I face if I put the 265s on? would this be allowed (legal??) and how would it effect my car. I'd love to put a new set of rubber on but don't have the coinage so I'm looking at getting a decent set of second hand tyres.
Any help would be great.
2009 TK Barina what a peice of sh@t
By bobcat 10/02/12@09:40 LetsCruise 2620HI I have owned this car from new its an auto. After about 4 to 6 months it developed a promlem were the revs would jump up and down from 600 to 1600 rmp when you have no acceleration on and just coasting. Holden have tried to fix the problem about five times, still has problems. They have changed the throttle position sensor, EGR valve sensor on the exhaust, crank angle sensor, new wiring on the throttle body they had issues with this on other cars, idle sensor. Now they are trying to tell me its normal what a load of bull. Does antone else own a tk auto Barina and have problems with it. I will never touch another Barina in my life time.
