    Mylink with an Android phone

    Mine does the same. The Mylink has so many issues and Holden do nothing about it.

    I know they did some pretty awesome work with Evo X's.

    What is the difference between and E85 and an 98 tune?

    Just wondering what the difference is between the two tunes? Reason being is I just had my car tuned and I asked for an E85 tune but then when I looked at the dyno sheet it said the fuel was 98.

    VF Ute SSV Redline - Nitrate Silver

    Just had a cat-back HiTec exhaust fitted and a tune done by LSX Tuning. Pretty happy with the results. Wonder when the next mod will be done?

    VF Redline Ute Clutch Issue

    I had the master cylinder go on my Evo just before I traded it for the Redline. The issue with the Evo was that the housing for the master cylinder was plastic and kept snapping. I didn't take notice of the Redlines one. I hope it isn't the same issue. When it finally let go I got stuck in a...

    iPhone 6 slash iOS 8 bluetooth connectivity

    When you connected did it give you a pop-up to accept access to messages and music? My Android occasionally did the same when it did a software upgrade and the pop-ups wouldn't come through. I would have to do a reset on the phone, clear the pairing on the MyLink and try again.

    New "Commodore" to be an Opel

    Aren't the Opel's built in the UK? I know my Vectra was and what a piece of junk that was.

    Electronic steering

    I picked the ute up from Suttons last night after the steering rack was replaced and noticed an engine warning light was on. I also noticed the a/c didn't work as well as it used to. I took it back there this morning and they cleared the fault and said it was related to my OTR. The OTR isn't...

    You might want to check section 10-14 of your manual.

    For how many others is this their first Holden?

    This is my second true Holden, third if you count the heap of crap Vectra I owned. Previous rides: 1982 Mitsubishi Starion (This car was possessed by the devil. The first day I bought it, it broke down in Maccas drive-through. It eventually caught on fire and had to be put out by the fire...

    Electronic steering

    I was told by Sutton's Holden that they hadn't heard of any steering rack issues yet. When I went to pick up my rental car that Holden had organised, they said that they had an HSV owner in yesterday and his had same issue. Wonder if it will be another recall?

    Another Recall

    All 6 of mine are getting done while the steering rack gets replaced.

    Yep mine is the steering rack. Now have to wait for it to be shipped up here.

    Electronic steering

    Yeah the fluids are ok. I checked the tyre pressure as well, thinking it might be that but as soon as it started going notchy I knew something was wrong. Think I'll have to book it in for Holden to look at it. Do you think they might try and shift the blame to the coilovers I had installed a...

    Electronic steering

    Has anyone had an issue with their electronic steering? Mine has had an issue the last few week where it is really hard to turn the steering wheel. On Sunday it was awful in the morning then the rest of the day it was fine. This morning it was notchy. It's more of an issue at low speeds where...

    My link keeps on forgetting my phone amongst other things

    The problem relates to it being an iPhone. There is a fix for this issue. You need to find a plastic container of approximately 27 litres, they usually have a thin black plastic lining. Sometimes the lining maybe other colours. A plastic container like this, can usually be found in your kitchen...

    MY15 VF Commodore

    I haven't heard good reports from the US about the level of support in the seats. Mine in the Redline are okay but could be better in the side. They're definitely not Recaro's.

    New XR8 vs VF SSV/Redline for price

    I can't believe I am saying this but the Taurus is a nicer looking car. I hated the first one that came here, with everything that was oval. It was so bad the wheels may has well have been oval as well.

    Any pica of Prussian Steel with painted brakes?

    Paint the brakes pink. That will be different and go with Prussian Steel.

    VF SS Max Fuel Consumption

    I like the delay on the instantaneous figure as well. Pretty sure it's so the fuel consumption looks less than it actually is.

    So the big Question Normal or Electric Handbreak?

    Yeah sometimes if you flick the button up too quickly it doesn't engage and if the steering wheel is in the wrong spot and it blocks the light, while you are looking around for other stuff in the car you have no idea whether or not it was on. Pulling up a handbrake level meant a lot less...

    So the big Question Normal or Electric Handbreak?

    It's taken me a year to work out that is what was happening and I wasn't going mad.

    MyLink Shutdown

    Mine gives me grief every now and then. The worst issue is when you are listening to the radio and then use the phone. It starts dialing and as soon as it connects with the other person it disconnects the headset. Then it switches to iPod and then some how it is now at full volume. That has...

    So the big Question Normal or Electric Handbreak?

    One other little annoyance I remembered was that the handbrake light goes off too quickly. Sometimes when you pull the switch to engage the handbrake a bit too fast it doesn't engage. Then once you've actually put the handbrake on, the light doesn't stay on until you've left the car. So if you...

    Harrop Carbon Series Exhaust

    They have this one on YouTube, but it is the GTS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jk08wkJx1nk

    So the big Question Normal or Electric Handbreak?

    Yes you can do all those things. My point is that after years of driving a manual you get into the habit of doing things a certain way and it's hard to break the habit. The electric brake definitely has more advantages than disadvantages.

    Harrop Carbon Series Exhaust

    I've been considering one as well, so I'd be interested in hear what you think.

    Can anyone confirm what this is for?

    I lowered my car officer, to make it compliant.

    VF HID hi beam

    Most of the time I have issues with Merc's or Audi's blinding me because of the intensity of their light, so what's the difference if mine are going to do the same to them? The washers and auto-leveling does nothing to stop it.

    So the big Question Normal or Electric Handbreak?

    Sometimes when you can't see the traffic because of parked cars being too close you creep out and have to move back if there is a car coming. With the electric hand brake you have to put it in reverse rather than roll back. After years of driving a manual it is a bit strange when you have to put...

    Oil Service Reminder

    Okay that works!!! Thanks heaps for that. The difference was holding the start button until the instruments come on.

    VF HID hi beam

    I had HID's on the EVO and they were great. I just bought a set for the VF.

    Dyno Sheets

    Never heard of that one before. Moisture is an issue with E85 because it splits the ethanol and petrol, but it doesn't attract moisture.

    VF Holden Commodore Issues and Faults

    Why don't you direct the vents to the windows?

    So the big Question Normal or Electric Handbreak?

    Those problems are eliminated with the electric handbrake, so what is the issue?

    So the big Question Normal or Electric Handbreak?

    The only annoying thing is with the manual you get used to being able to roll back at an intersection if you are sticking out too far, but the electric hand brake doesn't allow you to do that.
