FYFI smart arse I dont give a flying suck WHAT you think. I'm an Aussie not a whinger, I'm an ex National Serviceman who served his country, I worked all my life despite having a severe disability and I am ENTITLED to an opinion!! The car I saw was a Merc, a big one my brother just bought the...

Has anyone else seen the new Merc they are using up the northern rivers area? I went past it (thankfully) in my wifes Hyundai i30 ...he was at the Chinderah ramp waiting for ramp racers and the odd joe driving onto the new freeway bridge at Banora Point...as I was watching to the right to make...

Any chance of an image or web site pic of that suggestion mate..I'm chinese on these things..if it was a firearm I'm flying at the altitude but have never even been under a VE on the hoist...:emb:

OK...so more than likely the mechanic (a good bloke around my age, just trying to give me a 'heads-up' on future expenses) was on the money. He told me the middle muffler gave a bit of a 'rattle' when he tapped it...maybe some incipient corrosion caught his eye. He also suggested the previous...

Just found THIS on old LS1 Archive..very illuminating...to say the least!! Its not the diff, its plain old **** design. Time for ZZ Top on the Blaupunkt apparently. SSV UTE auto noise in 6th gear how many have it? [Archive] - Australian LS1 and Holden Forums

Here I go, head on chopping block again...but...fast learning curve in process I was advised that the middle mufler on the factory system can 'rust'....do you think the fella making the comment (a mechanic) had any grounds for saying that? For example, surely Holden wouldn't put not-ss...

OK..I went to Aussie Diffs in Currumbin, they are as good as you can find, and been in business a looong time. The owner was very helpful and courteous to me at 8am this morning, and listened to what I had to say. He feels it is not a diff problem. His logic was that if it is diff whine, it...

Thanks boys! ..obviously diff whine to me too, but I was told "it cant be" Anyone know what causes this or if there is a remedy? I got the boys to check the diff oil this morning btw, and was advised it was ok. Only 33,000 km and car is immaculate in every other way...wonder what causes it in a...

forgot to say...as sound comparison goes, its not unlike 'diff whine' ..which it isn't.

My VE SSV Auto has an unusual 'whirring'/'whining' sound that appears on the highway at around 109/110 kph and stays, getting very very slighty louder to 120 then it fades out again...only in 6th gear though both in D or in the s/shift..it does not appear when in 5th at those speeds, actually at...

sorry mate, that was MEANT to be a PM...:hmmm:

Langdon...hi mate...spoke to James and both my son and I will get him to put the wand over our cars before xmas, but he has 4-5 weeks work ahead at the moment. I'm writing to you to ask advice as usual. Went up to Hi Torque today to get new fluids and filters and the fella doing the service...

yes Bob..going by internet advertising anyway. The JHP kit seems very expensive to me..itrs not like these things just appeared on the market!

matt...sounds good too, but i personally can still se a time when I might need both ..that is, need to use the rear view for cars coming up the street on a quarter angle, say, as you exit your drive..(?)

thx mm..i actually didnt realise the JHP kit didnt include a camera. Hers the wording in the ad, but no cam in the pic as you suggest. So whats the options with cameras? do JHP supply them in different grades?

Thanks 'rum' for your input..yep I see a crowd called JHP offering a kit for VE series 1..looks ok I guess but few images to show the graphics $450 supply only They claim to fit for GMH dealers ?? it seems the dealers do not have a spare part number allocated for pre series II VE (afaik) but...

I've just spent my first few days in my 'new' ute and LOVE IT...but found I cant see a fargin thing when reversing out my drive. The neighbours park directly across from my driveway, as they have 4 cars to fit on the street, and its a busy street with a State School down the road. Does the...

mate thanks for the heads up on your kit, and your patience answering my q, but I spoke to the workshop again this morning, and despite the fact they agreed your kit was well worth it, and a good start , that i'm not ready to go down the path of a new cam /manifold etc just yet. cheers Pete

thanks for the info. Munz.

thanks for helpful tip !

Excuse my ignorance but this kit will fit straight into a May 09 build SSV AFM Auto? Any idea of the time/labour involved to install by professionals?

externally looks like a Corolla on steroids imho, esp profile/rear treatment. I get the impression todays new car buyers want less bulk, more refinement..and in a body the size of the original VB , highly appropriate.... and very appealing with a 3 lite v6 dohc and t/diesel ohc 2.5 L...
