So it's official. The Dutch police is replacing the VW Touran with 2300 Mercedes B-classes (220d) and 600 Vito's, over a timespan of 7 years.
Opel (Vauxhall), BMW/MINI, Peugeot and Volkswagen also applied to deliver but scored lower.
Did they choose wisely?

What's the coolest police fleet car and livery you know of?
I like the NZ Holden commodores, the cars look nice and the livery reminds me of the UK police and makes me feel like it's still a colony.

Hey gents. Just rebuilt my engine and tranny. 455 BBO and TH400, if curious. Anywho, can't seem to crank the motor over by hand, even in neutral, and didn't have this issue when both were separated, I could turn both by hand. The issue started after I mated the pack with a new torque converter. Could this just be because the splines aren't completely mated, even after torquing? Thinking back, there is still paint on the pilot nub as well, but would that really cause the engine not to be able to turn over, even WITH a cheater pipe?

Converter isn't completely seated in the trans OR the pilot hub is oversize and won't go into the crank. Either way you're going to have to pull the trans down.
>>
>>17278273
Yeah I'm gonna take it back apart to look at it again, I hope it's not the pump and just improper seating. I doubt it's the pump since it wasn't giving me issues before. I don't think it'd be oversized, it popped into the back of the crank fairly easy. If it is oversized, it might be the paint still on it, causing excessive friction. Just a hunch though
>>
>>17278273
I did notice that the bellhousing didn't want to perfectly mate up to the block though, I could see light through the surfaces, and torqued them a second time
can i get an honest opinion on the whole car-modding culture? is it stupid or is it a legitimate hobby?

Modifying cars is expensive and doesn't raise the cars value any but the same can be said for putting a swimming pool in your back yard. Is that stupid? It depends on the joy of gives you.

Yes to both.

5.0 swap it. Otherwise yes that's probably my second favorite Bronco gen. If it has a sunroof, it's gonna leak though.
>>
>>17277600
seems a little pricey for what it is, especially since all the gauges don't work. Honestly I'd say you could get a Jeep XJ 4.0 that is just as capable for less money, but I like Jeeps so I'm biased.

So long shot.
Trying to figure out an issue with my IMRC/DSI system.
If there's another owner here how hard is it to turn the DSI lever by hand? Mine doesn't want to turn very easily and I'm wondering if it's overloading the IMRC motor.

What is /o/'s opinion on V6 "muscle" cars, I honestly think it doesn't live up to the classic muscle car tradition and or standard. But recently I've been considering buying a newer 5th-6th gen V6 Camaro over an older 5th gen SS with a V8, since they are cheaper, and are basically the same car minus the engine and horsepower.

The previous camaro rode on a shortened chassis borrowed from the Malibu. The current one rides on a 3 series beating Cadillac platform. The v6 is fast in the new car.
>>
>>17276857
You'll get trashed forever for not buying the V8, even though the V6 is still plenty quick. Just don't ever, EVER put an exhaust on it.

>The previous camaro rode on a shortened chassis borrowed from the Malibu.
Malibu was FWD retard. It was a shortened Holden Commodore chassis.
Anyways, The V6 Camaro is fast and very acceptable if you get it with the 1LE package.

I'm going to be towing a car 150 miles with a car dolly, any advice on how to not fuck up towing something so far? I've never towed a car this far before, and to make matters worse the steering wheel lock is broken so the steering wheel won't lock into position, should I worry about it swaying back and forth while I'm towing it?

Stick it in neutral and drive it in forward

>>17276719
Is it automatic? Is it RWD or FWD? What wheels do you intend to put on the dolly?

>>17276719
make sure what ever you are towing isn't awd if you are using one of those types of trailers

You can sometimes change the voltage regulators out. Otherwise you just have to get a new one.
Used to be alternator shops that could rebuild them but they way they are made now you can't really service them anymore.
