Thanks guys all good Ended up being the grounding point on the passenger side had a very loose bolt. The car has an aftermarket air filter I think pulling the housing in and out over the years has loosened the bolt. Tightened it up and everything back to normal FYI in case you were...

Hey all Have a very early model VE SS (2007) thats having some major gremlins For instance when you lock/unlock and the indicators flash, the front park globes flash instead of the indicator globes High beam doesnt work, it turns on what appears to be the parkers as well then slowly fires...

Hey all, not sure what's the best forum to chuck this in but I'm sure if I'm wrong it will find its way to the proper one. 2010 SIDI SV6 - I switched the Sports mode on the SIC (battery/oil pressure gauges above radio facia) only to find battery voltage works but not oil pressure, its...

Hey all, a few weeks ago I wired in some LED footwell lighting into the SV6. I tapped into the plug that sits under the drivers side tweeter, I believe this is the samer plug used to then power the roof lights. My problem is that with the ignition ON, and brake pedal depressed(ie foot on...

no worries mate, glad my findings helped someone else.

Just my 2 cents worth Had a similar issue with the Stato, was more like a clunk after slowing down for a set of lights. Put fresh diff oil in and the G70 additive against everyone's expert opinions before I forked out for a rebuild or replace. Got 80 000 kays out of it until it started to...

Hey everyone, If you have a VE with bluetooth & want to do like I did, which is to use the Holden mobile phone patch harness purely for its 12V power source (say to hard wire additional cig lighter sockets in) and not for its actual use as a mobile phone kit, pay attention. I sourced the...

Yep ... I'm in!!!

I'm not as old as some of you guys, but here was my first car for 12 months. Certainly do miss it. Sold to upgrade to a VZ Acclaim which I had for many years. I miss both these cars, but the VX was a nice car. 2001 VX Executive Series 1. No bells and whistles at all, armstrong windows, no TC...

We did it from an auto 5.7 V8 VY calais to a manual 3.6 V6 VX Executive wagon late last year, added bonus was the VX got a VY Calais interior upgrade ... so it can be done, just needs most of the stuff. Keza87 is the guy to talk tooo

edit> dont worry, drunken me posted on the wrong thread :smoking: Good to hear it worked out

Hey Nick, I'm keen on the tablet but couldn't do anything for just over a fortnight That'd be a big chunk of your battery paid for, if it can wait that long :P Oh, and you can keep your earphones!!! Let me know

didnt even know there was a 147! That said my 142 does what I want on a 2012 VE II SS so I'm happy with that

That looks alot different to Farmer Browns farm truck you once took me for a ride through town in :beer chug:

cool mate, out of curiosity how did you end up doing it ... cluster & little side panel out, or just pry the light switch? If your happy to send it my way I'm happy to pitch in a couple of bucks for postage. Flick me a PM if your interested.

if you do find it has the telstra plug fitted and you remove it, dont chuck it out ... I'm chasing one ... that is if its going for free (I'll pay postage) :beer chug: Theres some info floating around, best I can find is "You will need to remove the cluster And from memory the a/c vent...

I just got the genuine key head that Brett mentioned from ebay and had that programmed to the car. Used the original key blade and the new head & screws, which was $50 delivered (same day but I am in NSW)

sorry to hi-jack the thread but Andy ... your alive?

Short answer is no, trust me I tried. While the bezel pops out, there is nothing that fits it. I wasted much money on various bezels. I ended up buying some of the small round pencil fog lights from supercheap as they fitted in quite well, just cut the hole & stuck it in. This is the guide a...

you lucked out, sorry bud :hmmm:

Just because its an executive doesnt mean it wont have wiring ... you'd be surprised the number that do. Quickest way to check is the fusebox under the bonnet - have a look at the empty relay spot "Fog Light". If you can see the little silver pins in that empty space then your in luck, if its...

ok cool thanks for letting me know Brett. I'm just going off what these guys selling them are telling me (I think some are overseas despite saying there in Aus) Cheers for clearing it up!

Hey guys I have another question So I'm looking at 2 sellers with these units. One is selling a Ver 140 and the kit, which includes a "CANdi" module. He tells me this is everything to suit a 2011 VE II. The other blokes doesn't have that CANdi module, but does have Ver 143 and tells me it...

Thanks guys. mostly for reading and clearing fault codes like stupid srs faults after forgetting to plug an air bag in :-0 Where does programming keys fit into it? Is this a security setting or something that could be done through the tech 2? just trying to establish its limits before we pitch...

Hey guys, so I'm doing the research into these things and wallah - a google search brings up a JC topic :blah blah: So I figure perhaps you guys are the best to talk too as some of you seem to be right across it. What is the latest software, is it 143? And my bigger concern is does anyone...

the code is remembered by the BCM (or one of the modules) It would ask if you put a different radio into the car

yeah theres a number of threads on this issue - its common across the VY range and into the VZ range. This topic probably has the best info throughout it...

Mick, if its in the new year I'll be very interested! Brett, I'll keep that in mind too. Are you saying get any Tech 2 like say that suits Isuzu Indonesia, and you have access to the Holden card for it to make it work in Aus? With the family and friends now having pretty much VY/VZ/VE (or the...

Can I test drive it? Interested in swapping for a silver WK Stato?

Hey guys, I did this a few years ago to my old VZ Acclaim. (If I refer to "executive" below i mean anything with that style bumper/dash cluster, like the Lumina as their the same stuff) Just uses some small foglights from Supercheap (about $30). Cut the circle, pop the fog light in...

Yeah, what Hak said. As I said, it will make me always think twice now with every corner I head into (and no, not at excessive speed, even at 60kph the signposted speed would be enough) -I dont want to end up wrapped around a tree because of oil on the road. In the case of some people it...

will probably never find out but I dont think it was for drifting, I'm leaning more towards someones cracked it at the number of cars that go belting through there and wanted to make a point - which has worked. I rarely go through there myself, I dunno for some reason I just dont find it that...

ah, yeah .... good point :) Well I'm hoping to tackle this project next week when I hopefully have the stuff to do it :)

I'll be trying this in a few weeks when I have the spare time :) Also resistors probably aren't required when I replaced my WK halogen rear lights with the WL LED rear lights I had bulb failure warnings due to the resistance. After alot of research I found this, which from what I could gather...

yeah of course, and if I get around to doing it I'll fill in the photo gaps :) (Ive had wiring in place for rear footwell since Feb, and Ive had the LED strips since late Feb, but I still havent done it :P )

How to guide :) Ive been wanting to do this to my WK as Ive fitted the WL LED lights in and the incadescent globe lets it down IMHO. I'm guite gelous of the WM range for this reason :)

Moved to the correct section. Greg didnt cause your blown globe, so he cant be of any help (sorry)

the SRS definately need a tech 2 or similar. Its a safety issue which is to force you to take it back to a mechanic to have checked out whats caused it, even if you know what did. While its on you have no SRS systems, so no airbag From memory Service Vehicle Soon can also mean an issue...

once youve done it once its pretty easy. Ive done so many that it only takes about 3 minutes to get too. Getting the radio out is the hardest part.

I'm going to agree with Reap, dads SX6 isnt actually that bad on fuel - it only ever sat 2 or 3 litres per 100 above my old Acclaim and mums Equipe unless you were towing or trying to race car mode it. As comparison we stopped at a servo just outside Batemans Bay where an LX8 was being filled...
