    Fog/Driving Lamps

    Marzz, why do you want them? That will give us a better idea as to what would be the alternative. I have them and only use them when I am using high beam. They do provide more light on the sides than 1 metre, but fog lights are not designed for distance, rather width. The so-called foglights...

    Whos The Oldest Person On This Forum

    I suppose that with your alzheimer's disease, you forgot to change your profile? On the other hand 40 is not old these days.

    VE Glovebox Light

    The SV6 now does not have sports front seats and are not an option either.

    Towbar for sv6?

    You should not put the SV6 on gas anyway so it is not a concern. Maybe if you have the lower output motor you would need to consider this. Holden note it in the owners manual.

    Need SV6 info!

    Rear vision is quite poor. Surfboard on the boot doesn't help. Would be better with the version on the SS. Mileage is not as good as the VS. The standard ride height is actually too low as you will catch the front spoiler on a lot of things. The car was lowered from the previous model. As others...

    What is "the" older Commmodore model to lust after for you?

    Hmm. A mate has a Red Grp 3 Brockie. Was around today actually. Nice. However Pretender, the CDC Commodore 3(?) series was my first thought. They did make more than Brockie colours though. And they made both the Commodores and Geminis in 3 different specs, the higher the number the higher...

    Ask The Copper

    :rofl: :rofl: You sound like a mate of mine. He always said he could find an offence for anything anyone did. As to displaying a plate, I learnt pre-p plate, just trying to offer a solution to the people twisting themselves into a knot over it. It is a good conundrum though. If the driver...

    Holden sack workers that leaked VE details

    This may have been posted previously and if so I apologise as I have been unable to find it. Is this a member on here? A bit silly using a work computer. http://drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=18962&vf=3

    ADVICE ASAP: Power Steering Leak

    Ian and Troy. I gave up going to dealers for anything except warranty claims here in Canberra 20 years ago. This is with Ford,Toyota,Mazda and Holden. From friend's experiences and now what you are saying nothing has changed. I use BARS in Mitchell for mechanical and accident repairs and have...

    Exit 1 new cop car

    I'm surprised no-one on this forum has not posted these. Apparently the car was new to the station, was called out to attend an accident last week on the Hume Hwy near Benalla. Only about 30km on the speedo. Car was cleaned up by a truck. No-one was hurt luckily. Just shows some members on...

    Ask The Copper

    Stocky, by reading the thread, he got upset with Minux, not you. He did not read properly what Minux said regarding being called a hero. Habib/Nawid thought Minux did not like being called 'mate'. I agree with Minux's thoughts.

    VZ trip computer

    Tap the mode button on the trip computer switch. You can get it to display distance to empty. Beware though as you can go from '190km to empty' to '30km to empty' in less than 40km. I go by the analogue fuel guage. Also I know roughly know what the car will do on a tank and plan filling up...

    Religion Thread

    Juzza, you certainly opened a can of worms. You should know that you can not have a friendly, intelligent debate with out personal sniping, when you place religion in it. Same as one-eyed Holden or Ford supporters.:hit: Personally I do not believe in religion or a God. Too many times you see...

    SV6 owners - want an alloy spare??

    The spare was changed in the VY to the old steel wheel Holden have had on the Commodores for about 10years. Simple economics. It's cheaper. Unfortunately they have speed limited it to 80kph as the rolling diameter and width are different.

    The missing dollar

    You have actually counted the $2 twice. The men have paid $25 for the room and the boy took $2 ie like a tip, therefore $25 + $2 = $27.

    2006 Fosters Australian Formula 1 Grand Prix

    I was meant to be at 12 however ended up at 3. Boring down my end and b**ody cold. Typical Melb weather. They had a bitumen runoff this year instead of the kitty litter. About 20 cars were saved over the weekend from being stuck.

    Vz rear tyre wear

    I'm with Wombat. Just clicked over 27k and the tyres look as if they can do the same again. Original SV6 wheel/tyres. And that is not plodding around either.

    Car Cover

    Which Uni are you going to? Canb Uni most parking is outside with gum trees dropping sap and bird Sh*t. ANU same again although there are some on campus undercover ones. For the ANU you need to pay. Some sort of cover is recommended if you are leaving it for a day or two.
