I recently purchased (another VRX...someone stop me) an 02 VRX auto that stalled when coming to a stop. It would restart again after stopping and ran ok while at cruise. Today I cleaned the MAF (CRC spray $22 ) sensor which looked okay and the IAC valve which was oily.Problem solved. I guess...

my TW, 180k km, has suddenly started using coolant. The gauge is fine, it drives beautifully, no obvious leaks on the ground, no milkshake on the dipstick or visible thru the oil filler cap. I put a new radiator cap on about year ago, so that's probably OK. No damp spot on the passenger side floor....
G'day :) I have a new (to me) Viscount Aerolite 14ft caravan - gross mass of ~750km. Previous owner towed it on a V6 commodore - VS or similar. Guessing it shouldn't be a problem for the Ei normally, once a brake controller is added; but one road we would like to travel has 10km of winding...
