Apologies, I should have clarified that it is a Cruze, and that the spare is a space saver type I did also mention to HCC that I spoke to three separate spare parts staff at three different dealers and after explaining the situation all three said that it was quite plausible because the wheel...

Sorry mods just realised ive posted this in the wrong subforum - please feel free to move as required

Background: *My mum bought her Holden brand new from a Holden dealer in 2014 *It was then passed on to my wife early 2017 *In October 2019, I was driving the car and had a tyre blow out *When I went to fit the spare (which had never left the boot since new), I found that it didnt fit - holes in...

Monkey Shoulder If you enjoy a good whisky, then give this a try - its great neat, on the rocks and even (heaven forbid) with a mixer My mate is a whisky aficionado (and has got plenty of $$) and regularly drops a few hundred dollars on a bottle I took a bottle of Monkey Shoulder around his...

Triple post (sorry!)

Double post (sorry!)

If you paid 20k for the Storm variant, that is an absolute steal (and I want to bring you along next time I buy a car) If for a standard SV6, that is still a great deal (hate to imagine what the dealer paid for it) Although some will disagree, the factory accessorised variants will always...

Theres a white 2015 SV6 Storm Sportswagon with only 31,000kms in the classifieds section that can be had for $25k Full dealer service history 20" HSVi wheels (apologies for the shameless plug)

To Troyziee - Just keep in mind that some dealers will offer an extended warranty (free if youre a good negotiator) if you have the car serviced at their dealership. My car came with an 8 year warranty from memory (3 year manufacturers and 5 year dealer)

Oh but there's no margin in them.. Some of these employee prices suggest otherwise - i doubt that they will sell at a loss just to keep an employee happy.

Interested in some feedback from those that have done the air-con off experiment. How big of a difference did it make? When i described the issue to my dad ( over 20 years with Holden in product development / product training / diagnostics ), he immediately suggested the air-con. I...

For those that are experiencing this issue, please try this simple experiment and report back - Turn your AC off. Yes, thats all - please give it a try..

Youve got a stealth turbo fitted - go do some skids!!

The price of the car is irrelevant – the dealer, a representative of the manufacturer, has an obligation to its customer. When a consumer purchases a product ( especially a brand new product ), there is an expectation that the product shall be supplied without faults – clearly, there are...

I get this too ( VF SV6 S1 Storm ) Mine generally behaves like this at start up, and when gently applying brakes before coming to a stop. I will bring it to the attention of the dealer when it goes in for its first service. Some i have spoken to believe it may be aircon related..

Looks awesome mate - you must be stoked!!

Looks like the reflective internal bezels have been painted. Pretty common

Please post up some pics when theyre fitted..

I have an IWC 'Pilots' Mark XVI Automatic. Unfortunately, I also have skinny little girly wrists, and the generous watch face looks way oversized on my arm.

Awesome thread so far !! Surprised to have not already seen this - [/URL][/IMG]

By coincidence this popped up on my screen when i started the car this arvo ( just the second or third time its happened ) PM me your phone number mate and i will txt you the pic.

I have the Holden factory placard for the upgraded 20" option (id post a pic but i dont think i have enough posts to allow me to do so) If anyone wants to see it please PM your mobile / email and i will send it through so it can be shared.

Pedders recommendation was to change struts if lowering any more than 30mm. They quoted around $380 for just the springs, and around $870 fitted with a full wheel alignment (ouch)

Hi Dave, thanks for your reply to my post about the Pedders springs. Id appreciate if you could send pics to either 0418263929 or [email protected] When i spoke to Pedders, they said that their standard lowering package will lower the car 20 front / 35 rear, so they dont have...

Hi all, Im in the middle of sorting out suspension for the wagon, and was wondering if anyone has Pedders lowering springs installed on the factory struts – if so, have you got any pics you are willing to share? Pedders have indicated that for a ( legal ride height ) spring only change, it...

Nice mate. What suspension is she sitting on??

Thanks mate..

Thanks mate - any pics you can share?? What do you mean by them being difficult to balance??

Not quite sure how to take that mate lol Love your wagon BTW. Ive read through your build thread a few times and love the tasteful mods. Ive just recently sold my highly modified Forester and if i start spending too much on the new car, the mrs will probably throw me out!! (I too have...

Im in the market for a set of 20's for my wagon, and really like the look of fin type wheels (had Rota Gravels on my Forester) I prefer a flat face (not convex / concave) to give the wheel 'height'. I saw a wagon today sporting some 'Avarus' wheels and absolutely loved the look of them...

Thanks again. Im still interested to hear from those that have gone down this path - what tyres are you using??

Thanks for that, however, that's where the confusion stems. A lot of SV6 Storms are fitted as standard with 20" HSVi wheels, and the tyre placard states a load rating of 95 - does this mean that Holden is breaking the law? Is there anything (apart from the placard itself) to distinguish...

FYI - im not a cop looking to put anyones name in the book!! Im genuinely curious ( ok, confused )

Hi all, First post here ( please go easy ) I have searched and searched, yet remain confused.. For those that are running 20” wheels on their VF, what tyres are you using? I found a forum vendor that sell tyres that comply with the load rating for the VF, but after looking through a...
