    Has anyone bought a vfii redline that isn't white?

    Light My Fire Redline here, with a (near) matching Fusion CV8Z :)

    Remote key undetected in morning

    I had a similar issue with both of my keys a few weeks ago. Replaced the battery in each key fob, and now working as normal!

    MyLink USB can't remember what album it was playing last...!

    Same issue here as well. At my last service, I explained the issue to Holden, hoping they might have a fix - but they apparently have never heard of the problem before... Seems to just be a random mylink 'feature'. My 2016 Redline didn't have this issue, but my 2017 Redline does. Similarly, a...

    Show us your rides!

    Some pics from the weekend I thought I'd share. Weather was good so we organised our own mini car show - a combination of my two gold nuggets (Monaro and Light My Fire SS sedan), brothers cars and a friends Maloo. We might be biased, but we reckon its a pretty good looking line-up!

    Big boned haha :) Driving the Monaro after the VF, you feel like you are driving a little hot hatch or something. Noticeably quicker to wash too!

    Thought I would also share a couple pics of my two orange beauties, hope you like!

    Post Pictures of your VF Here

    Some photos from the weekend. The LMF Redline sedan is mine, with my other two brother's owning the other two Redlines. I used to own the SLIHR Redline until I picked up the LMF sedan a couple months ago. The ute is only one week old. It was amazing the amount of attention this quick photo...

    MY17 Specs and Release Date

    Agree either colour looks great, and at the end of the day, comes down to personal preference. After initially disliking spitfire green when I saw it as a test colour 18 months or so ago, it has really grown on me. So much so that it was a really tough choice between it and LMF. At the end of...

    MY17 Specs and Release Date

    Thanks for the kind words everyone, it really does look mint (amazing the amount of comments the red centre caps get too)! Re the Crystal serum (also topped with EXO V3), I had it applied by Micks Attention2Detail (QLD). Check him and his work out at http://www.micksattention2detail.com.au/...

    MY17 Specs and Release Date

    Just picked up my new Light My Fire Redline this week - which was about a month earlier than expected! Looks fantastic, pictures really do not do it justice. Crystal serum paint protection has been applied, with tinting to come in about a week.

    MY17 Specs and Release Date

    On the other hand, LMF reminds me of fusion which was the hero colour for the CV8Z Monaros. Call me biased (as I have a CV8Z in this colour), but it still looks mint to this day (to me at least). So much so that a matching LMF Redline is a very tempting proposition!

    MY17 Specs and Release Date

    I was really tempted to upgrade to a Light my fire MY17 SSVR, but with the 'new' specs and pricing, I think I am going to be more than happy with my 2016 Some like it hot SSVR. Still a great unique colour with a hint of orange - which I love.

    Drivers seat 'click'

    Have the same problem with my redline. The dealer 'couldn't' actually find the problem though, so nothing was replaced unfortunately.
  15. doug05

    What's your favourite colour VF?

    Some like it hot red - but I think Light My Fire orange next year might just be my new pick!

    What deal did you get for your vf series 2????

    I had the same response from my local dealer as well. Part number for the red caps would be appreciated!

    VFII Paint (Slipstream) Quality

    My VF II Redline is the same, chips way too easy unfortunately, and that is with Ceramic Body Amour applied as well. I have to say though, my previous VE II was just as bad, I think Holden have been going cheap on the paint for a while...

    Vf reserve edition

    Had a chat with my dealer about them and they had no idea about the centre caps (and it seems about most things in general, to the point where they asked what model the Redline was based on!).

    Vf reserve edition

    Those red centre caps look awesome. An ideas whether they may be able to be ordered through Holden?

    VF Series 2 V8 Fuel Consumption

    Coming up to 500kms on my redline, and in mostly flowing city traffic (averaging mid 30km/h), my first tank was 18.1l/100, and current tank is around 16.5l/100 (enjoying the occasional squirt here and there!)

    VF with Opti-coat +

    I had Mick do my new Redline as well with body armour - comes up a treat!

    What deal did you get for your vf series 2????

    I'll be in the market for an SSV or SSVR later this year/early next (QLD - preferably in Some Like it Red Hot with a rear wing), so interested to see what deals are out there! In terms of paint protection, do people have views in terms of Opti-Coat Pro+ vs ceramic based coatings such as Ceramic...

    Question about SV6

    I find myself asking a similar question... I love the wilfire colour - which means a series 1 (and a few thousand dollars cheaper), or alternatively if I was to go a series 2, it would be the poison ivy colour. Series 1 is more in the price range and preferred colour, but the updates to series 2...

    Starting problems

    Mine did a similar thing a while ago, all lights engaged and when i went to start it, nothing.... Found out eventually it was the starter relay. A nice cheap fix!

    VT cold start problem

    unleaded or premium unleaded

    I only have a standard vt series 2 v6, but when I use 95 grade petrol (shell 95 i have found is best in my car), i typically find i get at least an extra 50km out of a tank. The car doesnt 'run' noticably different, but the better fuel economy is there. Having said that, when i have run bp...

    VT cold start problem

    Thanks guys, have tried most of these. Tried starting in neutral, but still doesnt make a difference. And as far as the starts when warm, I mean, if the engine is still warm, or if it is a warmer type of day and it has been in the sun for a while, it will start perfectly as well, even...

    VT cold start problem

    No, it does not try to start or anything. It doesnt make any sound at all. You turn the key, and then nothing... But when the car is warm, it starts first time every time no worries.

    VT cold start problem

    Hi hk No, once I turn the key, the security light goes and stays out. And I have recently replaced the battery, so that shouldnt really be an issue yet. Anyone else have any ideas???

    VT cold start problem

    Hey guys, just wandering if anyone would have any ideas about the following: I have a V6 99 s2 acclaim, and lately, when i go to start it when the weather has been cold, nothing happens. It does not crank or fire or anything. All the lights on the dash come on, and everything seems fine, but...
