    New way to do "Road Works" in the 21st Century

    I have been very close to 2 accidents in recent years, alas both were fatal. In both cases speed or road condition was not an issue at all as we were not even doing the posted limit (I was the car in font once, and behind on the other). What does the RTA do after the cleanup? Reduce the speed...

    yet another delay!!!

    I have bought the last 2 cars, VZ SV6 and MY10 VE SV6 before they went into production full tilt (i.e pretty much from day 1 you could order). The VZ took 10 weeks, the VE 13 weeks (Yep 3 months!) from order to delivery thanks to a host of ordered accessories which pretty much means it's ordered...

    Full lcd head unit for ve omega and sv6 series 1

    I hope not as it is something that I would have to see before committing my $, but I would be interested, yes :)

    VT commodore electrical fault, reverse, brake and head lights

    Firstly, wrong section. Secondly, probably a faulty connection or short in the wiring loom, most likely in the boot area. Take the side panels off to find the wiring loom (From memory its on the drivers side, but we got rid of the VT a couple of years ago now) and check every connector there.

    First time camping

    Currently sitting here under the annex, eating a magnum, reading in the forums on the iPad, BBQ ready to go, red wine and beer in the van, along with 24" LCD tv. Yep camping is really tough lol

    When is the new holden coming out?

    Slipper was not a "rude prick", but he was smart knowing that this is not the right forum section, as do pretty much all other posters. Maybe VE section (Current model) would have been a better thought. Then again if you were interested in color changing footwell lights or color morphing...

    Radar Power

    I dont have a pic, sorry. The plug is located on the drivers side at the bottom edge of the radio. White clip with 2 wires & you can use a spade connector crimped onto your wires to the device you want to power.

    Radar Power

    My Phone charger and CB are powered from the smokers kit socket which is clipped in place on the drivers side of the stereo at the front bottom corner. 2 spade connectors allowed me to plug straight into the socket, a bit of tape to secure them in place and it works brilliantly, with no cables...

    Indicator Problems

    Might be better putting this in the right section for your commodore rather than this section.

    Towing vans with a VE

    Thanks - I never thought of the coolant and water, although the van has a slot for a pair of 20l Jerry Cans on the rear so I might just use them. I only got the 1600kg towbar as thats all the lease company would allow, but realistically I never considered a van, just a trailer at the time. I...

    What VE Sv6 would you choose? 2007 man at 120,000k's or 2007 SA at 80,000k's same $

    Second one for sure. Less likely to be thrashed, lower K's and probably a better investment IMHO

    Towing vans with a VE

    Has anyone towed a caravan with a VE? Any suggestions on fuel, best speeds etc? While I have towed a trailer heaps, never something like a 15 foot, 1200kg van before, so it's a little new to me at the moment. I got the mirrors, a CB installed (for fun lol) and brake unit installed. Any other...

    140kmhr Safer In Australia

    The problem with the speed limits, especially in NSW, is that there is a knee jerk reaction after an accident and they reduce the speed limit. 9 times out of 10 this would not have stopped the accident as A. The driver was speeding in the first place, so would have ignored the lower limit...

    suggestions for lighting upgrade for ve ss

    I went HID globes plus a pair of driving lights on a numberplate bracket. The lights are now perfect

    Ve Lights Problem Maybe ?

    You don't have a dash mat covering the light sensor do you?

    Fuel economy

    I totally agree. I have seen too many people die in cars because of stupid behaviour, and while the occasional full throttle overtake might be ok, doing this all the time, driving like this in the built up areas, or in housing areas is plain crazy, but seems to be the norm for some people in here.

    Bluetooth on SV6

    Correct. Sometime after about 3.1 or so the voice dialing got better, and now with iOS 4 voice dialing is VERY good in the SV6. Press the steering wheel button, wait for the phone to beep, say "Call Home" or "Call John Smith, mobile", the iPhone will repeat back to you who it thinks you want to...

    Moron in a car had a bad day lol

    A couple of hours ago I saw the best thing. An idiot was doing about 10k's and a car pulled out in front of him (about 30 meters ahead, so plenty of room) so he chased it, and jumped out of the car at the corner, laying the boot into it about5 or 6 times, leaving quite a few dents in the drivers...

    Replacing Fog Light Globes

    I'd be interested in seeing the pics for sure. I think the fogs would look awesome as the prob with mine now is the fog lights look horridly yellow compared to the others now

    How many K's has your car done?

    23,000 in the SIDI SV6 and we do about 28000 a year in my car and 10,000 or more in the wifes barina too

    Replacing Fog Light Globes

    I replaced the lows with 35w HID's and the highs with 55w HID's. Considering I used to have a mod done to bring the fog lights on with high beam, while retaining the ability to bring the fogs on by themselves, a set of 55w H11's in the fogs would be pretty impressive if used as high beam...

    VE lemons

    Then again I bought a VZ before they were manufactured. The first one I drove was mine, some 8 weeks after I ordered it. Same goes for the SIDI VE - actually I'd never even been in a VE before I ordered mine. Yes there are some things I think could be better, especially considering the $ spent...

    VE lemons

    I agree with the thick pillar issue, but it's not what makes a car a lemon.A lemon is a car which: * Gets towed out of your car every month because it simply wont start (ok to be fair this only started 2 or 3 days AFTER the warrenty ran out) * Occasionally "forgets" to turn the lights off...

    Interior Doom Roof Light In Ute

    The ones in the SV6 are a small round bulb, not the festoon bulb, but I'm not sure about the Ute. I built my own boot lighting based on a similar setup to the one you posted (6 led's in the globe socket and 6 on each side for a total of 18 LED's in the boot. The wides Barina will soon get a...

    VE Bluetooth

    I too have an iPhone with no dramas at all with the cars BT, but I cant get the voice dialing to work :( I just tried the audio fade function and it is not available in my car. Tried another phone to see if it was a phone related issue and it also did not have the "Audio" setup available at...

    Interior Doom Roof Light In Ute

    If its like the sedan, the whole light housing must be dropped from the roof and the globe access is from the top. I have blown 1 globe and will soon mod mine to hold 6 white LED's that should outlive the car :)

    Center speaker GONE!!!

    I have unplugged the speaker and it was a massive improvement! (Phreddy, you should have done this when putting the front speakers in lol). I did not remove it, but ran another wire down to behind the dash as I intend to put a UHF CB in the car one day - I'll use that speaker instead of the crap...

    Boot Capacity

    Haha. How true that us, but I can't see Holden making it a selling point lol

    Bluetooth on SV6

    Ahhh the Holden setup does not work well with voice dialing on some phones. The iPhone sometimes works, a friend could only get 1 of his 3 blackberries to voice dial.

    Bluetooth on SV6

    Not here I dont (6 stack in a MY10 SV6). when the iPhone is paired it will use the Bluetooth connection as it's default. Dont forget the Holden's Bluetooth does not handle multiple phones well.

    VZ SV6 alloytech using too much FUEL

    Move to the country :) My old VZ SV6 did suffer in stop-start traffic, and especially when trying to accelerate quickly off the lights etc. I had 138,000km on mine when I sold it & I could easily get 850 to 900km on a tank on a trip.

    MP3 Music

    The 6 stacker definately supports MP3 playback, but the single CD does not - rediculous & cheap-ass choice by Holden IMHO

    Missing dash Choices

    PM Phreddy, or look in the ASR section for the dash color upgrade. He's in Penrith, so not too far from you. Some people say a reflash of the car will replace the missing items caused by removing the head unit, or you could replace it, get low level outs, add an amp and decent speakers & you...

    VZ stereo

    Yep it's in the menu & called something like Speed Dependent Volume. It's pretty noticeable when it bumps the volume up, but works well in stopping you having to turn the vol up & down as you start & stop to overcome the road noise.

    VZ SV6 foglights idea

    Bulbs - 100W, but it was done when the bumper came off, and I made an off-handed comment to the mechanic - how about we throw 100 Watt globes in there, so he did lol The setup actually used 2 relays - I found the fog light wire and cut it, adding the light side of the wire to one side of a...

    VZ SV6 foglights idea

    When I had the VZ I did just that - wired in a relay under the bonnet so that when the driving lights came on the fog lights came on too. A change of bulb in the fog lights gave good light in a wide spread. It made them useless as fog lights, but I never thought they were real good for that...
