It is likely they didn't add the lubricant as you say, because the compressor and all that was put on my by myself and my father and we took it just to get regassed. But my thoughts would also be the compressor failing

Hi I have a series 2 Calais 5L V8. Originally when I got it, the aircon did not work at all. There was no power to the climate control module nor was the compressor any good. I got a second hard compressor and brand new belp put on, regassed and fixed the relay in the module. All was working...

Here's my car after install

So I bought redback 2.5 inch rear mufflers with twin pipes and put them on in less than half hour. Happy with the sound. Gives a loud sound and no cabin drone at all. Thanks for the advice

Hey mate, I'm looking at these. They are redback as you said you have on your SV6 and sounded good. Holden Commodore VE Sedan Wagon SV6 SS 2 1 2 Redback Bolton Sports Mufflers | eBay

Thanks for the tip mate, yeah I'm 19 and I love my car and don't want to get rid of it. I don't have the money for a V8 and I really don't need that amount of power nor can I afford how much fuel they use. Was your rear mufflers stainless or what? I have only seen them in black mild steel so I...

I think I'm just going to go with the twin pipe rear mufflers to start with and work off the sound that gives it and work forward if I want more. I took them off both sides and started the engine and it has quite a loud sound to it, so if I just tune that with a set of rear mufflers it might be...

Would I be better off just buying 2.5" sport mufflers purely just for some noise and saving hundreds of dollars or is it worth the full cat back? sorry for so many questions! i just want to be sure before spending money, as i don't want it to go to waste obviously

Ah ok I get it now. That would mean my stock is an AFM single outlet, I've added twin tips to it. I imagine there would be some differences between them sound/performance wise?

Thanks for replying! Sorry for sounding like an idiot, but what is AFM/non AFM? Also, how you said it was a nice natural sound is kind of what I'm after! I always thought a V8 exhaust would sound horrible on a V6. So a 2.5" cat back with deleted middle muffler with x pipe would sound nice, you...

Hi guys, still relatively new to this site. I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to this kind of stuff but I couldn't find anything specific to my enquiry. I have a 2010 berlina, 3.0L sidi. I've made it look nicer than the grandma spec it comes stock. Been lowered, tinted windows, Calais tail...

Thanks for that

Hi guys I own a 2010 S1 Berlina and I've just had a prang so Front bumper needs replacing. The rear bumpers are identical on both Calais and berlina and I know the fronts are slightly different in shape/style. I was wondering if the Calais front bumper will fit on a berlina, as I like the look...

Sweet thanks. I'm In love with the second link with the chrome bonnet strip, totally dig the calais look. Doing it this weekend, will have to order the bonnet strip if the grill comes out a success!

Update: Bought some honeycomb mesh and decided to custom make my own grill. Going to cut the insert away from my existing grill and replace it with honeycomb mesh, might also add a badge to it in the lower right side as others have done but perhaps a small berlina badge, will post pics when finished

Just what I was after, thanks!

I too want a plain grill just like @BigBoss posted. That looks like one piece, how did you go about making it?

still looking for an answer, anyone please?

Am new to joining this forum but browse often enough. Signed up specifically to post this thread as I haven't seen any answers I'm looking for. I recently bought a 2010 VE berlina and I've had a few changes in mind. One of them was the grill. Love the car, but hate the grill. I would like to...
