    Yeah that's the question we all asked!That night enough rain fell in 1hr to completely flood a local train station .People had to be rescued off the platform by boat.Yep by SES boat!

    E1 Senator

    Sorry for the typo.Should read LS2.As for the wife,she was upset enough because she knows how much the car means to me.She has driven it nearly everyday without a scratch since I got it.As far as jamming premiums up,this is the first major claim I have made in the last 15yrs of driving cars...

    MY10 SSV creaky seats

    Hey Mate, The seat issue could be several things.Is there movement of the seat on the seat base?The seat is held in place on the seat base by four nuts on the underside of the seat rail.Check these for tightness.It could also be the plastic seat shroud rubbing on the sill plastic,Check to see if...

    Crunching noise

    Hey Mate Very hard to tell exactly what the problem is but start by checking front struts & engine mounts.Also check your lower control arms & front stabiliser bar for wear.This is just going on past experience with my VY Senator. Hope this helps

    How to/can you remove seats from a VY

    Hey Mate If you are set on removing seat the only problem you will have is SRS light will remain illuminated because the loop is broken.The other Airbags will still deploy without the seat,so it's a matter of putting up with the warning light.Not sure bout Vic but my workmate got a defect for...

    Ignition sticking/check engine??

    Hi, Firstly welcome to site, Can't understand why your dealer can't find any fault codes.There are two types of error codes,the first is current(happening now) or it will be logged in the BCM or ECM.So every time your check engine light illuminates,it will log that code into the cars...

    Bloody A/C ...!?!?!?!?

    Hey mate, It maybe the HVAC module .Get your dealer to plug in Tech 2 and look for trouble codes.Get them to replace the HVAC module.Should solve the issues you are having.(had to replace on new cars at our dealership.)Can be intermittent so write down when it happened so you can match up DTCs...

    VE Series II Air Conditioner Mystery.

    Hey Mate, These A/C problems are more than likely to do with the HVAC module.I remember our PD dept had problems with faulty HVAC modules in new cars we were inspecting.On some cars blower fan would increase when button was being turned down & also intermittent shutting down of entire...

    20" Rims or not

    Thanks for your input mate. I am going to keep the car as it left the factory.I may be showing my age a bit but I think the car is perfect the way it is.Had a look at links (what is the guy on car gurus thinking WTF)) the others do look nice but not for me. Thanks to all that replied.

    20" Rims or not

    Thanks for the feedback guys, I am still undecided about 20",checked out tyre prices and cost of lowering is not to bad but on Sydney roads it will be harsh ride.Already destroyed 19" rim from pothole.Anyway thanks again got some thinking to do. Cheers

    20" Rims or not

    Hey All, My mate reckons my E1 Senator looks like a 4WD (not low enough bigger rims needed).He is the third guy that has pointed this out to me since owning the car.I like the way the car looks & sits but I want to put it to you members to gauge your reaction.If I go ahead I love E1 GTS 20"...

    Converting Non- Cruise control to Cruise control, has any one done it before?

    Hey Hoffy If you check the wiring loom on the drivers side under the bonnet the connector for the cruise module will be taped to the loom.Look along the length of the harness close to the firewall and near the mounting plate for the module.If its not there then it is possible but cheaper to go...
