thats becuase the magnetic flux polarity used to be in perfect alignment in your engine, and has now drifted out of alignment.... this used to be corrected by the brock polariser, but sorry to say you will never get that fuel economy again.... welcome to the economy figures everyone else is used to getting

LOl, I'd love to get 8.5/100, the missus VX averages 13.6/100 although the average speed is around the 33km/h due to all the stop/start stuff heading into town and back every day

A VX Calais with all the options isn't exactly light either.....

I get those good economy figures on the other 2 cars.

VP S being the best and totally bog stock car. Averaged 7.6L and I drove it pretty hard lol. but 73k engine is what makes it so good.

Saw this very clean VR at the bendigo wreckers.

They have a very good wrecker up there full of commodores, about 60% of the cars there are. Was up there trying to find a number plate light lens for my brother's VR ute. Rang just about all the holden wreckers in Melboune, tried a few locals, and Hartcourt and Castlemaine wreckers, nope nothing.

At the bendigo one I found this VG ute and it had one lens any good. Rare as all hell these lens and big headache for the roadworthy.

Only one VP there though, heaps of VR, VN, Lexans, and all the usual models, about 4 VQ-VS statesman, geez those are fugly as hell. Also there was a scrap engine pile, 95% being alloytecs

Picked these up too. Very happy!

Is it a self serve wrecker in Bendigo or do they let you have a look around then come and get it out for you?

Post by **vlad01** » Thu Sep 17, 2015 8:18 am

more or less self serve but they would get things like driveline and engines out etc.. They have a full workshop there. Lots of cars, probably 60 cars.

Which wrecker is it?
I'm up in Bendigo early next week, might try to have a quick look while I'm there if I can get some spare time.

So here we have the last few logs, with some nice hot restarts and its a lot better than before. Still leans out a bit but nowhere near as much.

That's looking a lot better than a week ago good work. Few VE and AE tweaks should see it spot on. Maybe try some manual VE adjustments might be a bit quicker than VE learn.
