    VF service manual

    Can someone point me to a 2017 VF Redline service manual, preferably a pdf? Unfortunately my paper manual is in storage along with the car, and I'd like to schedule servicing. Alternatively, what does the 63mth service list as items for service? Cheers Peter

    VF Series Track Stripes

    having viewed multiple 2017 cars on the various car sites with track stripes, my verdict is there is no consistency as to what is 'official' Ive seen mine, , shorter versions and examples of the stripes above - there is no consistency. I can only speculate as production was winding down, dealers...

    Importing a US VF to Australia

    thanks for the feedback so far... interesting comments regarding LHD and RHD and countries that permit both -having lived in the UK with a Citroen purchased in Paris, France, it took very little adjustment to drive in the UK. Note, nearly all EU trucks transversing the UK are LHD, so its a mine...

    Importing a US VF to Australia

    Ignoring all the importing requirements, would a left hand VF ever make sense to be imported back to Aus? This is an Expat question. Note, the SS is somewhere between a VF Redline and a HSV, and its own unique bits (LS3 & Mag ride, Cold front seats, Satellite radio, GM OnStar, Hotspot) It would...

    Storing my Motorsport

    We all store for different personal reasons - leaving my car unattended whilst living in the USA is not really an option. And unlike my VF here in the US, it doesn’t have Onstar so I can’t track it, if its stolen, have Onstar call the police, and slow the vehicle remotely to a complete stop all...

    Storing my Motorsport

    I have my VF in storage in Melbourne - the facility doesn't have a rolling road, but does start and run to normal temp every other month, facilitates services such as flat bed to the local dealership for servicing, etc - which works for me given I reside outside Australia. I did research a...

    Are VF's going to be collectables?

    This should settle it: 'Last car' vs 'Last Holden manufactured in Australia' - there were 2 official photo ops that acknowledge each of the respective Red SSV Redline sedan status. Photos were archived by GM along with many personal photos taken by employees at the time that show using company...

    Are VF's going to be collectables?

    Do you have the serial number data for the last week of production? If so, can I give you my last 6 of the VIN - can you advise where it stands in the 'last numbers' to be stamped?

    "just wish HSV would release all the build info for the VFs. Every day there is a post on FB group asking how many of X variant there is. The weird thing is they will actually give you specifics via FB messenger. I checked earlier in the year and apparently there are 69 (;)) R8 SVs in Regal...

    Really surprised! When did Dutton become so invested in HSV - they currently have 49 cars for sale - wow, I only new them as high end lux and supercars. Do they know something about price direction than we do? I've also been told by a friend in the industry that there's a shortage of stock (in...

    VF Series 2 Redline pricing trends?

    sorry if this has been asked and answered - couldn't find anything using search - are VF series 2 redlines commanding a price premium at retail, especially the manuals. Quick look at carsales.com.au would appear even cars with high mileage are going for way over original sticker? Do we think...

    VF Series 2 V8 Fuel Consumption

    Yeah, sorry about that - one day, my VF will be back home (Vic, Aust.) - will be interesting if the Satalite features will still be avaible via subscription - not sure who’d they‘d call in the event of a prang or theft as its currently 911 :)

    Most people don't know what it is - the lion on the front and back confuse them all. But, there are those that do, and often know it from the Supercar series and Bathurst.

    Great looking car! A lot of us here in the USA couldn't wait to remove the Chev Badges for the Lion on the front and rear, center wheel caps and steering wheel airbag - GM still has an accessory page for the SS showing Holden badge swap outs. Also spawned our own US vendors to meet our...
