the clear cover over the globe housings on the otherhand i still cant manage to wedge it off to get a few dead mozzies out haha.

use the car keys in the gap you make when you pull it off a bit. it has sturdy metal clips holding it so it wont break. its with all things if you think your gonna break it, your not trying hard enough lol

Automotive & Marine dashboard LED Replacement Bulbs the first three. note the third one. RAINBOW haha. would be interesting. anyway i think im after these SMD ones. not the old school looking LED. SMDs are more brighter or something, basically better. i want the best of the best :) niether of...

Nice :D hey dont the Statesmans have led driving lights and tail lights standard? so did you replace all interiors with leds? if so what sizes were they all? and correction the map lights are T5 Wedges, bit shorter and a lil wider T10 are taller+thinner. they might be in the footwell ones...

#Edit# is it worth trying the whole Xenon lamp thing?

hey guys, been pondering about on the net looking for just replacement/blue globes for the center map light on my VE calais. took the unit off the roof to have a look what size festoon bulb i needed. not a festoon bulb at all. took it out sized and took a pic of it and tried some googling...

yeah it could be anything really. thank f*** i now have extended warranty/mechanical failure insuarance :) sick ill be prepared for that one! might replace soon i think, just to make sure.

haha too late. warranty already out aye. ill just leave it and chuck it in the forget about it pile lol. yup sure will :) hopefully it will solve the error screens. just to think if i went to holden tomorrow without asking i bet they would say, hmm yes sounds like the alternator is just about...

Boonz, cheers man! ill deffs pop the boot and bonnet and check connections tomorrow, even got some contact cleaner at work i can pinch lol. nice simple no bullshit answers. mechanics and dealers would be so much more better if they didnt bullshit me so much. hopefully they are just connections...

hey guys. sick of posting silly questions on here regarding my car. to be honest i do not trust holden or any mechanic anymore. they see us young guys and see $$$. for example last service i was told i need all 4 tyres replaced as they were unroadworthy... turns out the truth: rear tyres...

Aha now I'm getting it with the 18s. Too much rubber showing, makes the car look smaller. Mine are stocky 17s alloys, guess if I'm going aftermarketi should get somethin decent. What is with the 19x10 stuff? I thought just the inch size is all there was, I guess I was wrong... Going lower...

hi all, guys at work are saying to me that 18" rims look crap on VE Commodores. what do 18s look like on ve for real? does anyone have this setup so i can see what they really look like? i have 17s currently and my previous car had 19s and i personally think that size is just overkill not to...

Update Transmission fault update: After three weeks of calling and asking for updates and getting no answers or promised calls back, I popped into shepp Holden at lunch Thursday. Met yet another tech and I had to show the fault again in a drive. Noting before I even took him for a drive I had...

Okay here's a few other things I've noticed with my Calais since I've owned it- driving feel has diminished alot more bumpier on roads more tyre and road noise steering wheel vibrates/shakes subtly higher speeds the car feels less steady AUX squeals sometimes, drivers side speaker crackles...

Update: Took the car to Holden last week they had it for two days they performed driving tests, checked the trans, the computer, recalibrated multiple times. Told me "they've never seen this fault before" so I've had the car back since then. calling them every second day if they've talked to...

The dealer doesn't know nor does the finance company. If the drivetrain was damaged from the ding, then shouldn't the claims inspector and the repairers have picked up the damaged drive train? I will be honest with whomever I deal with because I am not at fault.

UFO-I'm in vic and yes I'm referring to the used vehicle warranty. The accident damaged the front right of the car, front light, bent a tiny bit of the radiator housing so that was replaced, new quarter panel and new bumper. Had nothing to do with the drivetrain and the force didn't affect the...

what could be the possible causes of this transmission fault? Cheers

Awwww wow what your all saying isn't too good. Yeah gotta be my luck I cop more problems lol. Only bought it 2 months ago for 28000. Well off the Holden dealer I go then. Better hurry too cause I've nearly used the 5000km warranty. Again thanks. Will keep updating as this issue goes. You'd...

samhsvgts- it does not do it while turning corners or driving slow, its due for a service so im assuming this service might get the diff refilled with new oil?? meaning just a sign that it needs a service? been driving normal now (with music on) and can still hear and feel it, quite annoying, it...

Hey there jamierawr, there is no GPS problem, my Calais has the GPS button on the screen too, i think its just a factory standard piece for both VE Calais and Calais V GPS fitted or not. the lower class models like the berlina have that button as something different (its in the manual). its an...

Hi all, bought a 07 VE Calais about 2 months ago. just hit a pole >.< (yes i kicked myself when i did it) its recently been repaired and since ive had it back, well a day after ive noticed a strange knocking/thumping noise. NOTE: i have jack all knowledge about cars and im still a "p...
