    Roof mounted DVD player removal

    The roof liner in my 07 Calais needs to come out for retrimming as the glue has given up. Hoping someone on the forum can give an insight into removing the roof mounted DVD player.

    VS Badge Size

    I have a front and rear badges for a VS Commodore but I don't know which is which. Can someone tell me which is the larger front or rear as I don't have a VS Commodore to compare with. Thanks.

    VZ V6 Calais throwing error codes..help

    My VZ V6 was giving the service vehicle soon message which when we checked the codes was pointing to the oil pressure sensor being faulty. Replaced the oil pressure sensor and the warning message went away. Thought all was good for about a month then it was back. Changed the oil because it...

    VE cosmetic changes?

    I read somewhere that all VE 6cyl's will get twin exhaust with MY10.

    What sounds good on an alloytec?

    I'd agree with that....I think the trick with Alloytecs is to not open them up to much exhaust wise that is.

    VE Steering Wheel Removal - How To Take Off The Airbag

    Nice work...two questions though when you undo the torx nut in the centre I assume you have to give the wheel a bash from behind to remove it like earlier Commodore wheels ? Did it take much force to remove ?

    Custom tips

    They remind of the old Ford XA GT tips. I personally don't think they are a big improvement on the standard SV6 tips.

    VE Seat Warmers

    This thread has last the plot. As to the original question I really doubt it would be an easy job to retro fit the parts needed to add seat warmers to an Australian Commodore. I wouldn't mind having them...nothing worse than freezing cold leather in winter even here on the Gold...

    S V S Alert ?

    I would see if you can get the code checked first, my transmission guy checked mine for nothing as I've been dealing with him for years. Holden quoted me around $150 for the oil pressure sender, Tridon have a replacement listed but I haven't been able to find one to date.

    S V S Alert ?

    If it's a V6 engine fair chance it will be the oil pressure sender. Very common fault lately. But get the code checked to be sure.

    CPR6 Manifolds

    If the module doesn't provide feedback about it's state ie it's engaged or not engaged it should be reasonably simple for someone with the knowledge to fool the computer into still thinking it's there.

    CPR6 Manifolds

    Ouch...That killed my thoughts of getting one of these manifolds. I'm glad you brought up that issue. Any chance that can be corrected in the tune on an MY07 VE ?

    The replacement for the damaged cover arrived today and guess what ? Exactly the same mark...so there is a bad batch out there. Dealer is going to contact Melbourne and see what turns up. davey g-force I'll post the instructions up later when I reinstall my scanner.

    Chrome Mirror Covers

    Covers arrived today, fitted them myself in around 5 mins. The original painted parts unclip and the new chrome ones clip in their place, comes with instructions. One of mine was scratched out of the box which dealer is replacing so I suggest you check them before handing over the cash. I...

    Locking Automaticly when sutting drivers door

    I had similiar strangeness a while ago with my VZ which seemed to revolve around shutting of the drivers door, the solution for me was to unlock and lock the car a few times with the spare key. One of those WTF things.

    Chrome Mirror Covers

    Just a heads up for anybody looking for the G8 style chrome mirror covers. Saw a set on an SS and asked the guy where he got them, he told me from Holden and sure enough checked the updated Holden site and there they are.

    VE FI alloytec psi??

    Monaro327 I see VCM closed the thread you started asking about support for MY08+ which I thought was a little rude of them. Seems like they don't care how many people ask, their just going to do it in their on good time.

    How to remove spoke covers on the steering wheel?

    Yep peterj's link will point you in the right direction. Let us know how you go I have a brand new SS wheel and nickel silver spokes I've been putting off changing on my Calais hoping someone might be able to post a few tips after they have done similiar.

    VE FI alloytec psi??

    I believe the VE ECU can't handle postive pressure (Forced Induction) is that right ? Also wondering are there differences between VE year models as far as getting a tune done. I have a MY07 195kw V6. Been thinking about the CPR6 manifold also and have a set of HSV GTS rear mufflers I'm going...

    Yeah they are 19x8 front and 19x9.5 rear Petrol Metrix with Kumho Ku19 245/40R19 275/35R19. Cost me $2800 with 4 wheel alignment, nitrogen and locknuts. Sold the old Calais rims and tyres for $700 on eBay. They have a polished stainless steel lip, not machined alloy. The ride quality was...

    Xenon hid 6000k h7 low beam conversion kit

    I'd agree too expensive for what is just another generic HID kit, look around eBay some more. My advice also is get the lowest colour temp you can, don't go over 5000K.

    VE Calais V Stereo screen turning yellow

    Over the last few weeks when I jump into car and turn the ignition key and the stereo screen comes on it has an overall yellow cast to it a couple of times. You can still read everything on it and the problem goes away after about 5-10 minutes. At first I thought it was related to heat as on the...

    VZ Calais central locking issues

    Had some strange issues with the central locking in my Calais over the last few days. After I unlock the drivers door and open the door all the other doors unlock then when I get into the car and close the door all the doors lock. I just tried my spare key now everything seems to be normal again...

    VZ Alloytec oil pressure sender

    Update: Can't find a TPS073 anywhere, most places don't even have the part number listed. Have sent Tridon a polite WTF ;). Bugger might have to go to Holden yet. Heard back from Tridon, they say out of stock for approx another 2 weeks.

    VZ Alloytec oil pressure sender

    Thanks for the heads up on that, part number is TPS073. The part most likely is from the same OEM supplier as genuine so I'll take my chances ;)

    VZ Alloytec oil pressure sender

    Getting the service vehicle soon warning coming up on the dash. Got a friend to run his scan tool over it and came up with fault codes for the oil pressure sender. My question is can you only get a new sender genuine from Holden or are they is also available from the usual aftermarket suppliers.
