    What deal did you get for your vf series 2????

    Was just looking on car sales and they seem to want a starting price of $50,600 for an ssv series 2 ute , manual in black. Makes me very pleased with the deal I got on my 2013 plated ssv ute in black as a June 2014 runout for a drive away price of $ 39k!! New ones don't have a DVD player and I...

    The New Commodore VFII is Coming

    Agreed! And the Christmas tree vehicles do annoy me as well. They can be so distracting and way too much glare

    The New Commodore VFII is Coming

    Also fog lights don't bother me coming the other way in fog, fog tends to cut down headlight glare anyway. They oonly bother me coming the other way in clear weather, just added glare. Only had fogs on my 2008 sv6 ute and the new ssv vf. In a heavy fog all they seem to do is brightly illuminate...

    The New Commodore VFII is Coming

    No not at all, didn't mention the word wankers although I dofind fogs at night annoying. The drl's work in my opinion. I have occasionally had my attention drawn more closely and quickly to an oncoming car with drl's. I have experienced occasions in over 30 years of driving where I have not...

    Who loves their vf?

    I forgot about this thread. Had the ute for over a year now. Don't rea drive it much, strictly a weekender. I love this ute and will keep it the rest of my life unless financial problems force me to sell ( which will happen very soon if it happens at all ) My only complaint has been the...

    The New Commodore VFII is Coming

    I don't mind seeing drl's coming at me, haven't noticed any yet that I find annoying and they do tend to get your attention. From an added road safety point of view I think they are a good idea. Fog lamps however do piss me off when they are coming at me at night time, just added glare to put...

    New thread on Mylink as the last one got of topic

    No, don't have grid lines in reverse camera screen. My ute is a little over a year old although it is a 2013 build. It's only had one service, just to keep my warranty...I've only done 6,000 km since I bought it in June last year. I find my iPod classic works fine..if I leave the iPod plu in it...

    New thread on Mylink as the last one got of topic

    No, no updates. It operates the same as when I first got it...when you first plug in the iPod it can take a few minutes to index, after that I don't even notice it indexing...it's probably done by the time I've back ou of the garage. When I've plug the iPod into the computer to put more songs on...

    Deactivate VF internal audible alarms.

    I have had a look at it ,but a wasn't able to find a setting that would silence the horn chirp thing. I will have another look though. It's rea the only thing I don like about my ute, everything else I love.

    VF Random chat thread

    Hahahaha pisser! That's one of the very first things I did after jumping out of the Ve ute into the vf! Fortunately I was only going 40kmh at the time I told myself I could blame the missus since she was heavily bending my ear at the time leading to my distraction and un wanted " hand brakei"

    Deactivate VF internal audible alarms.

    Me too, every time I bac out of the garage..off goes that button it drives me batshit! I would love to be able to silence the horn chirping every time you break its frigging rules about leaving the key in the car with the motor running ,or getting out of the car with the motor running and...

    Communicating with the lady inside the satnav...

    The first time my brother got in the ute with me, I was about to ask her to play a particular song , something she never has a problem with, when he butted in an made a very lewd suggestion to her of a very explicit sexual nature and she didn't speak to me for two weeks! She is very sensitive!

    Yeah I just press the button and turn it off. It's the remote key - horn chirping buisness that annoys me the most, I can never seem to get it right

    VF Random chat thread

    Yeah I'd do it. I used to go bike racing with some of my previous utes. I could put two full size motocross bikes in the back with the tail gat shut. I would get them both in then remove the rear wheels. It was actually pretty easy to do and there was plenty of room left to put gear in between...

    Should i upgrade the SS

    I have to say I'm not really a fan of the way the back end of the vf sedans look, it's sorta growing on me but every time I see a ve sedan I start thinking about how much better the back of the vf could have looked.Since I have a ute ,it's not an issue. The interior of the vf is for sure...

    Should i upgrade the SS

    Just make sure you sell your ss privately or you are bound to get bent over and reamed on the change over. If you sell it private you will get substantially more and you will be in a position to negotiate the price on the r8. Good luck to you, I totally understand the "I just gotta have one "...

    Oil change before 15,000kms?

    But most bikes have a wet clutch system,not all but most. The clutch releases lots of contaminants into the engine oil system as it wears so oil life is much less with bikes,not really a good comparison with an automobile engine. I'm going to go with 7,500km oil and filter changes on my vf as I...

    Real world SS fuel consumption

    Just returned 10.55 lt per 100 km on weekend away. 559 km for 59 litres Mixed driving, a lot of 110kmph on cruise on the Hume. Some windy hilly roads and the occasional spirited burst through the lower gears. It seems to be getting better economy now. Just clocked up 3,000 km so it's due for...

    New "Commodore" to be an Opel

    Yes I did my own four stage paint protection application. Bought the products online and did the work myself. I think it came up pretty well. It's my third black Holden ute,I love the colour although in summer it draws the heat real bad. Never had paint protection on previous two utes but...

    New "Commodore" to be an Opel

    [/URL][/IMG] No more utes, hence my number plate. I just can't believe their not gonna make these things anymore! It absolutely sucks! This is my last holden. The end of an era for me. I've had 4 brand new holden utes and this is the last one unless I win lotto and buy a 2016 maloo to go...

    Roo ted

    I agree that it doesn't make much difference weather you have a roo bar or not when it comes to car vs pedestrian. I'm not too convinced by any so called studies. I've never had a roo bar, cannot stand the look of them, but on the two occasions I've hit one properly ( had many grazing love taps)...

    HSV Maloo to get LSA

    Wow! Need to win lotto. If I did I would buy one and build a special garge for it where I could just sit and drink beer and admire the thing! Meanwhile I will keep on loving and occasionally, actually driving my ssv. Still a ways off racking up the 3000 km needed for first inspection!

    What deal did you get on a VF?

    Well, I'm still very happy with the deal I got. Wish my missus had grabbed the deal she was offered on that ssv manual sedan. Her choice , I doubt she will buy a car in the next twelve months, she decided six months ago she was going to buy a car this June . I always thought that she wouldn't do...
