    Series 1 or 2 SV6?

    Thanks for that. So if I'm looking for sat nav, I'll just have to look for ones that specify it was chosen as an option? What about a reversing camera, were they an option or standard?

    Series 1 or 2 SV6?

    Hi guys, I am looking at upgrading my VU ute to a VE SV6 sedan, not looking for an SS. I can't pick between the series 1 (MY9.5 SIDI at a minimum) or the series 2 with a manual. From the exterior, the series 2 does look that little bit nicer and it's leaps and bounds ahead on the...

    VY steering wheel customisation

    That's a pretty genius idea actually.. Too bad the car is black and the base model VY's have just a black steering wheel.. Maybe gloss black would look good..

    VY steering wheel customisation

    Hey guys, I have just bought a VY steering wheel (and a bunch of other VY parts) for my VU and the satin spokes are almost completely faded, therefore they need painting. I reckon I could do it fine myself, but I wanted people's opinions on what colour to paint them. I was thinking just the...

    VX/VU Electrical Faults

    I am starting to have some electrical issues with my 2001 VU S V6 1. The passenger headlight low beam kept blowing every 1-2 months so I replaced with some aftermarket headlights (was going to eventually anyway) thinking the headlights could have a problem, but now my new projector beams do...

    VY Ute Interior in VU

    Hey, I have seen countless posts on converting a VX/VU interior to look like a VY, but none have the exact answers I want: - what parts exactly do I need? - how much would it all cost roughly? - how easy is it to do? People have said you can't do it unless you have a donor VY and some...

    VX Washer Jets

    Hey, Is it possible to move the window washer jets on a VX/VUaway from the bonnet? Like on the VY/VZ where they sit below the windscreen? I think that would look sweet! Cheers

    VX Vinyl Dash pad removal

    Hey, I'm in the process of painting my VU (VX) interior from grey to black and red and I have painted some assorted little bits but now is the big part: the dash and centre console. But I have no idea how to remove them... Can someone please lead me in the right direction? I want to get...

    VZ SS Ute tail lights in VU

    Hey Is it possible to fit the tail lights from a VY SS and the VZ Utes into my VU? They are the same size and layout, but with clear lenses and they look so so so much nicer. I can get a pair for about $100, so is it just a straight swap? Thanks!

    VX/VU Cup Holders

    Hi there, The cup holders in a VX/VU Commodore are pretty bad in my opinion - they are two small and I find it awkward to change gears when there is a drink in the driver side holder. Surely I am not the only one that thinks this. So my question is - has anyone added extra cup holders...

    VX/VU Rims - Suggestions

    Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could give me suggestions on a set of new rims for my car. I have a black 2001 VU S Ute and I want some new rims just to make it look a bit sweeter. It's currently sitting on some 18" rims that the previous owner put on, but I personally don't like them...

    VX/VU Indicator Stalk Upgrade

    Hi, I have a 2001 VU S pac manual and I love it but it is only a series 1 and it has the big chunky wiper/indicator stalks on it.. I believe that the series 2 has the nicer ones (like a VY/VZ). If I bought a set of these, would they be a straight swap for mine? And would everything work...

    VX/VU Climate Control Conversion

    Hey guys, So I have a friend who is stripping his VX Berlina wagon and I was wondering if it would be easy to swap his climate control unit into my VU ute to replace the standard AC. Also how would I do this best?? Cheers Julian

    Vu v6 ute project

    That sounds awesome. So if you sold your old broken Getrag for $1200, how much would I be able to get for my working one?? Also what are the chances you could send me a list of everything I need to buy to do the conversion?? I also assume it would cost a lot for labour hey?

    Vu v6 ute project

    @Bowen Thanks for that info. You're the first person I've seen anywhere that has actually done a 6 speed in their V6! Was it worth the money do you think and does it make the car run better or smoother?

    Vu v6 ute project

    Thanks guys, I never thought the sunroof would be a great option as it's expensive and a lot of work. I just thought it would look cool. I'll contact that forum member and ask about the exhaust system. Where I live, there are a few BA-BF XR6 Utes that sound incredible and I'd like to sound nicer :)

    Vu v6 ute project

    Hey guys! A week ago I bought myself a 2001 VU S Ute in black and I absolutely love it! Although it has 296,000kms, it runs fantastic and nothing feels like it'll go wrong (touch wood). As much as I love the car right now, I would love to spend money on it and make it the coolest daily drive...

    Is a VY Ute for me??

    Hey, so I've always loved Holden Utes and I really want to get one. I'm a p plater and currently driving around a Mitsubishi but I'm hoping to upgrade in about 6 months and I want a nice ute. I want some suggestions on what I should get but it has to be a V6 due to the fact that I am a p plater...

    VG Ute Restoration

    Hey, so I have a white 1991 VG V6 Ute sitting unregistered at home, hasn't been driven in a few weeks as it ran out of rego. It was my first car and I finally have another, being a 2001 Mitsubishi TJ Magna which is quick but I prefer my ute. The ute has 330 000 kms on the clock and is in need of...
