    "Check Engine" message briefly after start

    working at a dealership i have seen it a couple of times. Not often though. From memory i believe we sent it to holden to do a upgrade on the computer. But other than that i don't think it was anything major. If it were my car and it only popped up if you let the dash go through the system...

    Load rated tyre for the VF

    Hey Guys for many of you buying VF commodores you will notice that the cars no longer come out with tyres placards with several fitments. They now only state the one size which for all the SS's, sv6's evokes's and ute's they will all have a minimun of either 100v or 102v load rating which means...

    Tires n rims myths and facts WM Caprice but applicable to VE's

    In terms of how wide can you go depends on if your car is lowered. You will fit 9.5 on your front easily with or without lowering providing the offset is about 40 and you run a 255/35/20 tyre or even a 245/35/20. The rear will depend on how low you are. If you are at standard height you can most...

    The Series 1 bracket is the same as a series 2 bracket so you want have to change anything there.

    Fog lights are different on the series 2. But apart from that you have it about right. Front bar, upper grille, (your chrome Holden badge will clip into the Series 2 upper grille) lower grille, fog light covers, (if your wanting to fit series 2 foglights there is a metal assembly you have to buy...

    CD stuck in my in dash stacker today!

    I know a guy at redcliffe way that does all the jobs for our cars. He replaces the laser reader too which i believe is the cause of the issue. If you don't feel up to it yourself i think he charges us about 330 for cd player to be pulled out and replace the laser. I tried doing it once myself...

    Yeah we have had the issue pop up a couple of times now at our dealership so it will be something that might pop up more down the track as the Ve's get older in year.

    2008 Omega - does the roof console have microphone?

    You will find it most probably won't, although they aren't much extra to get the mic and usually i thought it comes in the kit that you buy. I would check that out first.

    Guard Rolling

    I think the problem will most probably be your tyre's. If you were to run a 255/35/20 tyre you should be ok but i think you will most probably have a 275 making it wider and more likely to touch. Also how did you measure the offset. The measurement should be 45mm on the outer from the centre of...

    What ever you do don't pull it apart. You will never get it back together. I've tried on a broken one once and i was blown away by how complex it was inside.

    AN Aggressive Wheel Treatment on a VE

    On all of our sold cars the te37 copies/concept 6's are 9.5 all round at a 40mm offset with 255/35/20 tyres. Although for mine i'm running 25mm adaptors on the front and 15mm adaptors on the rear also i'm running 245/35/20's tyres with coil overs and plenty of neg. If you want the adaptors on...

    As i said you can never please everyone. Styling is one of the most subjective things in the car world. Even if you post up a photo of what you think to be the best car in the world there will always be people that don't like it. The world would be a boring place if we were all the same. :)

    Hey Mark, I know how to edit the switch internally but it doesn't eliminate the beeping problem.

    My guess would be check your battery terminals. If its not on tight it could be causing it.

    22" on wm statesman, legal now? Rim shop said they are?

    If you could get a tyre size smaller than what's available it would work but currently their is no tyre in Australia that is available for 22's that keep within the rolling diameter for commodores, they are all over 15mm in diameter so it makes 22's on a commodore illegal.

    has anyone got Vertini Monaco's on a VE? 20x10

    255 will give you plenty more room to allow for less rolling of the guards. it comes down to what offset the rims are, 255 on a ten looks good (my personal opinion) in fact we fitted 255 over 9.5 on the rear of a 500hp clubsport and no complaints. It all depends on what ever you want to do...

    Radio off/door open prob

    What causes the radio to stay on is the door actuator playing up. The earthing point is in the actuator and it doesn't sence that the door has opened so it doesn't turn the radio off. If you replace the door actuator it will fix it. :) I've most probably replaced 5 or so actuators and it has...

    VE SV6 immobiliser Problems

    It sounds to me as though the sensor has gone. I just replaced one in one of the cars i sold. It sits under the rear console. Once it goes it stops the car from recieving the signal from the key. I would more than likely say that is what has gone wrong. I hope that helps. It cost me $550 to fix...

    MY12 SS - Alloys

    This would look good on a yellow car. $2300 for the set with tyres, custom painted in hazard yellow on the lip with the same centre decal, without the vision writing if you want. Also i'll add this would be one of the lightest wheels you can buy... They are a great wheel.

    There weren't many sold from new because holden most probably haven't pushed the colour. Yellow and black rims would look awesome on your car. We sell all of those rims ourselves.

    Need new tyres that are economical and still perform well

    I can get you a set of 18" yokohama's on rims with about 90 to 95% tread for $600. The rims don't have scratches and are pretty much like new. That way you can sell yours rims for $400 on ebay and the tyres cost you $200. Let me know if you're interested and i live in brisbane too.
