yeah thats wat puts the speedo out with 20" wheels to get that sorted its just a matter of getting it recalibrated, shouldnt cost much at all to get done edit posted by 80shovelead

Hey know what you's mean about pain with damage to our baby's. Our's has a drag scratch down the rear bumper from the damn garage door. Someone didn't park close enough to the wall b4 hitting the remote button, bugger. Glad we haven't broke an aerial yet!

That's a bad thing to happen to u marz. Josh was telling me about it a couple of days ago. Unreal !!!! see u at supercars if not before.

Our car is around same age as your's mov. We haven't had that happen yet but have only just started to use a/c again in last couple of weeks. Not looking forward to it happening either. Do u run a/c on recirc or on fresh mode? I usually run ours on fresh. No idea if it'd make a difference tho...

yeah sounds good, ours is still stock. Just a really cool car hay

hope u enjoy your new car. We've had our's for about 2 months. Lovely car. Beats the VZ SV6 we had. So much different - and not just the motor either.

Had our's in for the 3,000 a few weeks ago and a repair to the air con drain pipe was done. I asked about it and was told a few of them were leaking into the car. Our's hadn't but I had noticed it wasn't allways working as well as it should have been. Since then has been working really well and...

have had similar things with the SSV on startup ' ESP' saying off . It does that every few start ups, then wont do it for a while seems to be an intermittent problem. Other than that no other problems. got nearly 2,500 km's on her now

sure. we got water restrictions over here. They don't include washing the car tho!!!!!!

14's are about what we're gettin too. how'd u get 11's tho? looks, power and sound....know what u mean. we've just done 1,500k, sounds getting better now too. Just gotta love it!!!!!!

SS and SSV have the same starting function as our VZ SV6 had. Guess that's what you're meaning KITTAU.

Our VE Date of ownership: 24/10/06 Model: SSV Engine: 270kw 6.0l Gen 4 6 Speed Manual Colour: Ignition - metallic Options & Accessories: Street legal tint; paint, leather, fabric, dash protection package; Rear Park Assist; Colour coded dash and instruments; 19 " alloy spare; SS mats

Our's runs really good. it would be sad with 4 less cylinders running. And no I don't have a lead foot yet..............still running her in

have not disowned him. If holden had an apprenticeship going then he would be there. He loves all holdens and will never change from that. He owns a vl - in the doing up stage. Half the guys at his work are holden nuts too. At least he'll allways have a job working there :D

very true, apparently the citric acid on the ba/bf falcon utes has quite a different colour to it than what can be seen on the tray, the hard tonneau cover is a darker green than the body of the car and sometimes a slightly different tinge of green. My son works for a ford dealership and has...

know what u mean. ours is a manual. 50 km speed limit - ha ha - just thinking about getting into 2nd. Truly an awesome car. the looks are good too. Want to see them with our son's "L" plates up................priceless am changing my avatar when we get a decent pic of her. The Sv6 was a good...

O2 sensor replaced. hope all else is gonna be good too now

Took her up to Freo today (about 150 km round trip) she's running really rich. used nearly half a tank normal would be about 1/4 . per 100km started at 14 for around town by the time we got home was on 12.2. that's really bad. bet they dont give a rats ass about the fuel I've wasted when they...

Got the same warning come on again Wed. morning. Took her back in again in the arvo. Ran a scan told it may be software or a wiring problem. Still safe to drive. Can't get her back in until Monday (partly due to my schedule with tafe) Then they have to do more tests. Good now I've got no car...

Had mine in today and was told it was only a software issue which has been updated. Will be interesting to see what happens.

Mine's just come up with the same warning. Rang Holden and advised not to drive if possible. Have another option so that's ok for now. Has anyone else had their car in for this warning and if so what was the problem causing it?

I reckon the SS looks pretty good. Can't wait to see the SV6 version but i'm pretty hooked on the ss for now. Looks sweet

heres our girl. shes still stock. throwing around ideas about supercharging. just waiting for capa to get it together

Betta bring the SV6. then mine wont feel so lonely

No worries. We're just trying to get another one sorted out for the next couple weeks. Just see you've posted in W.A. chapter. Looking forward to catching up with you soon.

Yes we are now both better educated. somehow missed the composite plastic bit in the start. my bad. allthough allready admitted. Hey were both from WA but u dont join our cruises. U got any reason for that. Be good to have someone new along.. maybe

ah ok i guess im wrong on what i had put i was under the impression that the ls1 manifolds where also made from alluminium, i was also wrong about the manifolds on the ls1 melting at high temps but if there made from composite plastic there is a huge difference in tempreture withstanding points...

thanks for that doctor bob, i didnt clarify what i was meaning when i was speaking about the intake manifolds i was refering to the alloytech motor and not the ls1, should have made it more clear in the start, Cheers Janet :)

if the manifolds are made from plastic of any description it would melt from the high under bonnet temps so the manifold needs to be made from a metal to withstand the temps, there would be no need to change the manifold because the gas system can be fitted in before the throttle body, even on...

hi west55, thanks very much. just had a look at the suspect hose and it is about half way off heading to the power steering rack. also noticed that the bottom radiatior hose heading to the motor is half way off as well so that may be a big one for everyone else to check on too. Major cooling...

Hi guys, I've been reading thru this with interest. I'm a chick and not dumb but was wondering what covers I will need to remove to check the power steering pump for leaks. I know old Holden motors but not the new ones. Weve had a few commies (VN onwards) but i've never had to have to remove...

the intake manifolds on the gen3 and the alloytecs are made from alluminum, or are u meaning the intake pipe? if you are then it is possible because the gas just flows through the intake pipe and into the engine.

Hi highendrev just to let u know took her in this morning all they did was to clear the error code. took about 2 seconds. Told me they dont have the software update here yet but will have it by the time shes due for her 30,000. They're not overly rapt with me cause I know of software updates...

The last one "Mess" is so true (or was when my boys were younger) Just might do that one day just for the hell of it anyway. Only problem is you've then got double to do the next day

thx for that but I'd rather have her checked out as is and have the software update done at the same time

Thanks for that guys. Will get it into the dealer on Monday. Cheers

Just wondering if anyone else has had this warning yet. It comes up as soon as you turn the key. Cars done 24,200kms - oils levels fine. She's an 04 model. Have had the earlier software update done. This one just appeared this arvo.

pretty obvious for mine just me and the car

went 8 and 4 , but 7 looks pretty good too. Might lean a bit that way tho. All look pretty good guys. Well done. May the best effort win. Nice looking pic Dragz. shame its too late for the comp

thanks for that might have to try that cause its still not right
