Hi I have a 1999 Holden ute it starts fine most of the time but others it wont if I move the Coloum shift up and down a few times it will start fine but some times it wont start at all, But if I leave it for a hour or so it starts perfect does any one know what could be causing this

Clean the battery terminals and battery post , check battery is fully charged.

How about head lights ? If no clean battery cable ends check other end for connections

find a holden hx hz wb manual or go to a library and photo copy the pages needed or look at the link below if you can do it on your own.
Replacing handbrake cable

If the pump is bad, you will see wear in the rollers and the fluid will have metallic particles in it. No pump is worth $950, so look for a used one or one of similar shape for some other vehicle.
If the pump is bad, then the hold system will be contaminated and need flushing.
But intermittent loss of power steering more often is dirt in the rack.
Here is some brands Holden sells in Australia:

As of 2013, the vehicle lineup consists of models from GM Korea, GM Thailand, GM in the US, and self-developed Commodore, Caprice, and Ute. Holden also distributed the European Opel brand in Australia in 2012 until the brand's Australian demise in mid-2013.[1] ... }

I am not sure what engine you have - newer vehicles have such good "On-Board Diagnostics" the best place to start is by hooking up a Diagnostic readout device.
Make sure it is not something simple like a broken timing belt?

Hi,
You will be able to purchase the weather strips for your ute from your local holden dealer.
You would also be able to place and order through one of your local aftermarket retails .

Look up some of the early year Holden forums on the net that cover the the FE and FCs and others around that era. Join up and ask if someone has one of these FC cast models for sale. You are much more likely to be successful and if not someone may be able to give you a lead to follow up. You will be very lucky to find an FC Ute model though.

besides the rim size you will need the profile of the tyres to get the circumference and the diff ratio even it is what you call a standard diff.. Holden has at least 3 cog ratios that are used to correct the speedo readings but unfortunately they only cover standard tyre profile Try speed shops to see if there are and other cogs available and another suggestion is to find a speed shop with a chassis dyno that can fit the cogs and test the readings without going on the road all the time .

It sounds like the timing is out if it it is backfiring and now wont start reset the timing and your problem could be solved

Holden Rodeo 1989 2.6mpi , start and only runs for 2 or so seconds themselves stalls, after putting on a fuel peesure gauge, fuel looked okay and slowly dropping, found the ECM relay was intermittently switching on and off, gave it a tap and the engine kept on running, relay not repairable, replace with new part. Located in the fuse and relay box on the right hand side of engine bay next to battery. Hope this helps.
