Actually it's Digitor Q1585 from Dick Smith. Unfortunately, it is no longer available. I have 4 of them, one still in it's case........just in case. It's not an obsession, it's just so the other 24 multimeters don't get jealous! 😁🤣
@@MiracleMAX You are 100% correct. My meter is a Digitor Q1585 have had it so long forgot where it was purchased and like you as an electrical tradesperson have a lot of meters including fluke and Brymen and many others, but no super cheap meters as safety and reliability is important
Hi, My CV8 Monaro manual trans has a wierd Cruise fault. I can select cruise pushing the on button however once i reach 30klms an hour the cruise cancels. So far I replaced the brake switch (as coincidentally was faulty) but no change. have you ever had this fault? One comment was my staggered wheels might be a cause? (front 235/35. rear 245/35)
Yes, unless fitted by the factory, you should keep the original size tyres, otherwise it can mess with your cruise control, traction control and ABS. I couldn't read you comment fully as a section just has a list of numbers. How long have you had the cruise problem? Does it coincide with the installation of the tyres?
@@MiracleMAX Hi, I bought the car about a month ago, with the malfunction and the wheels / tyres. I think the previous owner gave up on fixing it. The fault is totally repeatable... as soon as i speed up to 30klms an hour every time to cruise cancels. The rear is 245 / 35RZ19 and the front is 235 / 35 RZ 19. The rear wheels see like very deep dish so might have a fair offset. The rear tyres seem like they are stretched onto the rim as well so the rim may be too wide also.
@@lbackhausen1 Tyre size would be something I would consider. Can you borrow a set from a wreckers or do you know of someone with a similar car who you could borrow the wheels from? I guess you can't drive it on a hoist. Does yours have traction control and ABS? If so and you have it on a hoist, the ABS module will activate, just like shown in the video. Do you have a scan tool? Can you see if the wheel speeds are equal when driving?
Car hoist, no, but I have a foxwell scan tool, but ist only a cheap one (NT301) without SRS / abs module support😢. It does have traction control / ABS but I’m not getting any fail lights for either. I’ll have a look to see what live data the 301 can see
Nice work mate, good approach and execution as always 💪💪
Thanks 😉👍
Good stuff! Bonus footage, disassemble the stalk! If repairable you'll have a spare, there'll be more fail.
Ah, if only time would allow ☹️
Ahh the old Commodore staulk switch problem, how many ks on this VZ Max? Great diagnosis as always Max, Cheers
This one had 230,000 on the clock.
Good one,still using the Jaycar automotive meter I see. That was a great meter and still using mine.

@@colinreid7305 I use a range to show my students what is available.............but also, just coz I like multimeters! 🤣😎
Something worth keeping in mind if my VZ develops this fault.
I have a few VZ videos on the channel with more complex ones coming.

@@lbackhausen1 Yes, a code reader will only do emissions related faults.
Without watching first , I would look at the little L shaped vacuum hose on the top of the motor.
😂 yep, I was wrong.
Ah, the beauty of watching the full video! 😉😁 Thanks for your reply. I hope you got some use from the video
