My first vehicle was a Honda CB175, the first car a Triumph 12/50. Both saw me almost through university, when I bought a Triumph 2000 just...
Or you could try what I did, and change to a Calais cluster, like I did with my MY11 SV6. However, I recommend caution until you have worked it...
I have taught four sons to drive so far, all in Commodore 6 cyl manuals. I agree that the first lesson has to focus just on using the clutch....
Many years ago, I was heading north on the F3 just before the Brooklyn Bridge. It was heavy holiday traffic, but moving comfortably about 100...
As others have said, Alloytech was fitted up to and including MY09.5. The SIDI engine was introduced on the MY10 model year update. The...
Hi, I have never been a smoker, so don't have first hand experience. However, my wife went from 70 a day to zero on the birth of our first...
So on that logic, if I embezzle $1,000,000 but only spend it on 100 different things in 1% lots, it matters less than if someone else embezzles...
Close, but it was much cheaper than 47c/gallon.
Unfortunately I don't have any photographic evidence for my favourite nostalgia. In my younger days as a university student, my car ran out of...
I always wanted a Calais manual, but did not buy one because I have never owned an auto, and have no intention of doing so. I was surprised...
Hi, Joining in a bit late. I have had both an MY09 and an MY11 SV6 manual now. Did 75K in the MY09 and just passed 26K on the latter. I...
"There was a day when politics was honourable, and things that were good for the country got bipartisan support. These days its just automatic.....
I have the MY10 (SIDI) Commodore brochure, and it indicates LSD standard on manual SV6, as does the Series II brochure. I find the take off...
Hi, I am assuming that your SV6 is an MY10, i.e. SIDI engined. From MY10, the SV6 manual has been fitted standard with an LSD. It has been...
Comment moved to correct thread. Apologies.
My thermos bottle must be defective. It keeps hot drinks hot in summer, and cold drinks cold in winter as well.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is a turbo petrol engine, isn't it. The D in GTDi stands for direct injection, not diesel.
Hi, I had the same concern. I put up with it for a while in my MY09 SV6, but eventually upgraded earlier than normal to a Series II MY11 SV6...
Hi, GM Card is a lapsed loyalty credit card. It allowed 10% of all expenditure to be accured against the cost of a new or demonstrator Holden....
Hi, I think $33,990 for a low km demo SV6 auto (if you want an auto) is very good value. If you check, the $36,990 price new is for a manual,...
Possible future Holden export program hint: Holden SS badge now a registered trademark in the US
The windows are not changed in the config menu. They also do not cycle automatically through the various options. They are cycled by pushing...
I know that it is not the intent of this thread, but I have to say something about this comment. I have been the president of a small local...
How? Buy the cluster and get your local dealer to install/program it! What could go wrong.
Hi, $400 covered everything. PM sent. Cheers.
No wiring. Just a Tech2 programming of the cluster after installation.
Pictures Pictures attached. Warning lights only on because ignition on, but handbrake on, engine not running and doors open.
Hi, I have a pic, but it is too big to attach on this website. I don't have a photo editor to reduce it. From research, I came to the...
Hi to all, My history: I changed my VS II to a three window cluster, which needed wiring modifications. I then changed my VY II to a...
I have bought two so far, an MY09 SV6 Manual and now a Series II MY11 SV6 Manual. I was really happy with the MY09, and was not in the market to...
I also believe that VE SV6 initially had an LSD. From the introduction of the SIDI engine, I believe that the manual stayed stock, but the LSD...
Holden won't, but some instrument specialists can I believe. You will need to ring around to find someone who can do it, but they are out there.
I don't believe that Tech2 will resolve this issue. There are three methods of resolution: 1. Replace the cluster with a cluster correct...
Hi, Ethanol has a 30% lower calorific value than ULP. Thus E10 will give around 3% worse fuel consumption; in fact the NRMA did a highway test...
Buy New! Hi, I had a car back into my Series II SV6 in a car park. One result was a very minor scruff mark on one wheel. The insurance...

MY 2010 3.6L SIDI Torque Curve I have the power and torque curves for the 3.0 and 3.6 SIDI engines within a pdf file. Unfortunately I cannot...
That sounds like a bit of relativism there. You are correct that many other countries are far worse off than us. However, they started off far...
I don't know about everyone else, but I have been struggling to pay my bills over the last couple of years. My head is still above water, but I...
