Holden do that regularly apparently. Tell people brake pads/rotors have less than 1,000 k's left in them when they really have about 1,000,000,000 k's left in them.

Money scam.

Gave the inside a proper clean out. Got rid of any wrappers/spare coints laying around in the console/glove box etc, used wipes on the dash, door etc, made all the black plastic shiny again :)

email that pic of the near new pads to the service manager and ask how many k's he thinks those pads have left in them.....
If you still have new car warranty - don't tell them which car they came out of !!

Can anyone tell me if the belt tensioner on my vz sv6 looks like it has too much play and if this is normal?

Got a hell of a squeal and trying to find it.

Holden/Ford/Toyota/Mazda/NissanInsert any dealer servicing here of pretty much every brand.

In relation to my earlier video of the belt tensioner moving... this is the noise my car has upon start up and has this for atleast the first 10 minutes of driving.
