Ive just bought a bunch of H1 halo bulbs for the TR parkers, now when i plug them in, they dont light up. is there any reason for this? They are H1 12v 100w Cheers

Hey guys, over the last few days ive noticed that whenever i stop driving and get out of my car,i am noticing a very raw, distinct smell coming from the engine, i dunno how to describe the smell but its very pungent, my car isnt burning any oil, or using any water, and i cannot find any oil leaks...

Just wondering if there were any bodykits made for the TS Magna (sedan)? I have had a brief search on the net and can't seem to find any. Cheers in advance. Davo.

gday gday, have been having a bit of trouble with my idle recently. shes been VERY tempremental and i cant figure it out. couple weeks ago i basically did a full rebuild (head reconditioned, rings, sump, etc) and she's running beautifully :D, minus the idle problem which is: Either of the...

just got a diamante front bumper for $68. perfect condition with fog lights. told the guy at the wreckers it was from a TR and he said, "oh a magna, give me $68" haha. pictures to come.

Hey guys, ive managed to score myselt a cheap (read: very cheap) Apex'i S-AFCII (to suit a 6G72) and was wondering if it was worth the trouble of installing it, and tuning it? My car runs quite rich, and triming the fuel map a little would help with power and economy, or shoudl i just sell it on?...

wired up my paras today. all was going well until i got to the testing stage. at this point i found that the low beam on the drivers side didnt work. but when it was bumped up to high beam it did. -they only have one globe in each section right so it isnt a busted globe. -its not wiring on...

I need to replace the inside door handle on the drivers door, outer section of lever has broken off but still able to open door. The door has central locking but no power windows. Are there any tricks in replacing the handle or is it just as the Shop Manual and Haynes book provide. Many...

I purchased one of those $15 driving light kits from Super Cheap, I have most of it worked out except for one wire. On the wiring guide it says it goes to "HI BEAM (+)", assuming that's the positive wire for the high beams (durrr) but I don't know which wire to hook it to in the dashboard. Is...

So basically $18 and youve got them. Supercheap - Nightshade Tint - 2 thin coats. Light still shines through pretty well at night, And cops think its just stock. Goes great with parras, Positive and Negative Crit welcome. Edit: Sorry for the **** camera phone pics. ...

Having delivered the TS Mags to my olds, the old man made a comment he thought it had a transmission whine - i told him that it was the engine and every Astron I have driven all made the same sound. Now, having thought about it more i suspect it may be the balance shafts and a chain responsible...

Hi I have a Magna TS Wagon steel mesh cargo barrier that i dont need - its free to a good home - but you would have to pick up at Lilyfield in Sydney. Took it out of a TS wagon i picked up recently - would probably fit a TR too if interested call me on 0402 1098736 Chris

NE1 here had to put a HU in their 2nd Gen that had to be near horizontal for the disc's to eject? Bought a temp replacement the other day that claims to work at 30º, but disc won't eject. HU won't sit level in the normal top section, so today I cut the din pocket out & the whole thing looks sh ite...

Just wondering how do you remove the strip with the air vents in that runs right across the dash (presume you'll know what i mean). search wasnt successful as i didnt know its name. i want to paint it... thanks

In the spirit of this thread in the first gen forum, I thought it would be a bit of fun to see which one of us has the oldest second gen. :) Using a similar format: Date of Manufacture Km's on odo No. years in your possession

It's that time again... finished nailing down the last few so it's time to keep up the pace and nail down a few more issues. - Is it a difficult process to change the Astron lifters/lash adjusters? From what I can tell from a Holden VL guide, the process doesn't involve removing the camshaft but...

Ok, this is really frustrating. :mad: I put a new stereo into my TR Wagon last week, and the battery drained flat. so the old man takes the battery out and recharges it. Now the magna accelerates like its a 4 cylinder. My magna used to accelerate quite sharply but now it seems to take forever to...

Just wondering how do you get into the lights behind the speedo etc on a TS Magna. Thanks
