Sadly a 2 yo has died in South Australia today from covid so it seems it can effect anyone

If that happened to my vehicle I would be really p...d off. Reading people's experiences on JC has taught me a valuable lesson. When I drop my car in for a service ANYWHERE I always take photos around the car at the premises where said service is to take place. That way I have proof with time...

Seems like the different stock sizes is distributed around the country. My supplier had 7 rears in stock when I got mine. Seems like a strange odd number but he said he got what was available at the time.

Had my Pilot Sport 4S on my ride now for a few weeks. Awesome tyres. Just grip in wet and dry. My cost was $430 for each rear and $355 for each front (less $100 Michelin cash back) So for 4 tyres $1470 plus $70 for 4-wheel alignment. Mine are staggered - 275 on rear, 245 on front. Had to wait a...

Repco site working for me this evening. Says "up to 25% off almost everything exclusive to auto club members"

Maybe we should start the artwork here too. We have numerous roadsigns around South Australia stating "Uneven surface next x km' In a car it is almost bearable but in a truck - it's one hell of a ride! Just easier, and cheaper, for them to put up the signs rather than actually fixing the roads

SO I had to change my tyres today. Decided on the PS4S all round. Will see how they go. Already noticed they are quieter than the OEMs. Will have to see how they hold on the twisty bits some time soon :cool:

This is exactly what concerns me. Common parts maybe won't be so hard to find but uncommon items are another story.

Thanks Ron, coming from one who has gone through the experience, this gives me a bit more confidence :) Yeah, I meant all parts in general considering GM has left our shores. I guess there will always be after-market parts but at what quality? Perhaps better than original, or not.

Just reading this thread and other member's issues makes me very nervous. I have 33k on the clock and so far (touch wood) have not had any problems other than a replaced battery. My LS3 is as quiet as a mouse on cold startup but am wondering if/when it will also shite itself. I have been told by...

Try Quality Motor Trimming in Somerton Park. Have recommended them before. The place I work for uses their services and they do some good work http://www.qualitymotortrimming.net/

My Dad always used NGK and reckoned they were the best. I've always used them in my previous cars too

Yep me too. $48.07 delivered. Bloody amazing!! Thanks for the link Ron much appreciated

Hey Ron, how did you figure out these were the correct plugs. There seem to be several models of Iridium plugs. Did you match some model number or the measurements of the plug? Just curious cos I'm not that savvy when it comes to searches like this

Try Quality Motor Trimmers in Somerton Park. They do some good work. Also restore old car interiors http://www.qualitymotortrimming.net/

Like I said this has been known for years Here is just one link from back in 2014: https://www.macrobusiness.com.au/2014/02/china-uses-nz-for-backdoor-food-entry-to-australia/ This is the original source: Claim companies use NZ as backdoor to get potentially toxic frozen Chinese vegetables into...

Be careful buying products from New Zealand. It is known that many food items are shipped from China to NZ, re-labelled as product of NZ and then shipped here. I don't buy any food items from China & NZ (or tinned tomatoes from Italy because certain ones are also Chinese origin!) Let's support...

Just got my insurance renewal from Budget Direct. As I've mentioned previously they are a great insurer to deal with. Again, without asking, they have increased the agreed value by nearly 5k to $55,001 and choice of repairer for just a $50 increase from last year. I'm not complaining and I'm...

When I changed my battery last year I simply used jumper cables from my other car to the jumper terminals in engine bay. Disconnected battery in boot, swapped to new battery then removed jumper cables. Didn't have to reset anything and it all powered up correctly on first start

Sorry for late reply from me, not logging on as often as I want to Just letting you know my insurance amounts from Budget Direct for my 2016 Redline Auto sedan: Current year Amount: $700.93 Agreed value: $50,642.00 Excess: $550.00 Last year Amount: $646.19 Agreed...

2016 VF2 Redline auto 27,000km. No mechanical or electrical issues (apart from battery replaced last year cos the original just gave up), no squeaks or rattles. So far, so good.

I got a minor 4 - 5mm scratch on my left front rim several months ago. And I mean minor, you had to have it pointed out to notice it but I knew it was there so it bugged the hell out of me. Sort of fixed it myself with some gloss black paint. Still there but even less noticeable. When I...

I think the ZB is a good car, as I've said before. There is not much wrong with it and there is plenty of tech for the money.Yes it has some issues but all cars suffer from some issue or other The only problem was the name. Back in 1978 GMH released a new car. They called it Commodore. Why...

MY16 first registered 2017. I had a map update done in May 2017 but was told that camera locations come from a firmware update but so far no dealer has been able to give me any correct advice on that

My VF2 doesn't have camera locations. When I enquired at 2 dealers in late 2017, the first said there is a firmware update available. They tried several times to apply supposed update but failed. 2nd dealer said there was no update available for my vehicle. When I called HCC I was also told...

With the price of a barrel of oil now down to around USD$33 you shouldn't be paying that much. Adelaide price for ULP91 is between 0.95 and 0.99 c/l

I'd be interested in that too. Maybe someone organise from Adelaide to meet you all there. Would be an awesome day!!

Holden wasn't the problem. Holden was the Aussie brand. GM-US was the mothership that steered it wrong. They're the ones you should be p...d off with. I know I am!!

"1 year balance of the new car warranty" and NO test drives??????? Really!!

Just curious.....would this mod have to be removed again before taking vehicle in for service just in case they won't cover something under warranty? eg injector issue? Could Holden get out of a warranty claim because of it being installed? Does it need to be re-programmed again when refitted?

I can confirm the warranty of my wife's new Cerato. It is a 7yr/Unlimited km warranty except as stated by Skylarking, the audio head unit and navigation is a 3 yr warranty. Also the battery has a 2yr warranty. The book doesn't mention anything specific about the rest of the electrics Hope this...

I have never entered into any argument about the ZB. I have never driven one, but I have sat in one and read the reports of the car All I will say is that by all accounts the ZB is a reasonably good car in any guise and I am not knocking the product at all for what it is BUT, as has been said...

You're right, just checked my service book. The 75k service is just oil & filter plus the usual inspections (if they are actually carried out is another question). 90k involves the extra brake/clutch fluid change and air filter. Also a check & tighten of bolts/nuts on chassis/body and a few...

just another thought to throw out there... Active cruise will keep your car at the set speed when going down a hill. Great. But how does it achieve this? I assume by using the brakes?? So on a longish down hill on a 40 degree day you're going to have mighty hot brakes at the bottom of that hill...

I don't have too many issues with my CC either. If the car wants to creep up in speed on a longish downhill I just do what the truckies do - flick it down a gear or maybe 2 depending on the steepness of the hill. No need to ride the brake at all. Coming down the South Eastern freeway into...

Wow, that's scary!! What month was your SS produced? Where is this sensor located? If it's on or near the rack, could it be that it's contacts are also corroding and giving false readings thereby limiting steering travel? Just throwing it out there. Feel free to shoot me down if I'm talking rubbish

Thanks for that. Will investigate but may take some time as I am going on leave shortly

Thanks for that. I understand how that could work Would I need to splice into the positive or negative wire to tail lights. I thought I read somewhere that the VF lighting system is negative activated or am I wrong on this What size/type of diodes would be required

Just a thought I had the other day......Would it be possible to wire up the tail lights in such a way as to be on with the DRLs but still leave them on when headlights come on? In other words, can I have them on permanently? If so, what would be required to achieve this? Would it even be legal...
