    Steering wheel vibrates when braking

    I've had three Commodores and they have all done it, VU Ute, VZ Wagon & VF Wagon replaced rotors and pads on the first two no different still shook the steering wheel when braking hard, mostly down a hill. Replaced radius rod bushes helped a little, replaced top strut mounts and bearing made it...

    Power Disparity

    Looked up QLD regs for provisional drivers, they would not be able to drive a SV6 VF11 if it had 230kw's and I assume other states would use a similar formula. VF11 Ute weight 1656 kgs (wikipedia) formula from website 210kw divided by weight 1656 kgs times 1000 = 128.81 kw/t just under the limit...

    Power Disparity

    I stand to be corrected, but I read somewhere that the VF LFX V6 was limited by Holden to 210kw so P-Plate drivers can legally drive the car in certain states in Australia, I think it is to do with a power to weight formula used to calculate which vehicles P-Plate drivers are allowed to drive.

    Uncomfortable Drivers Seat

    Paddle Gear Shift

    I'm not sure but I would image you would have to buy the whole thing as a package. Curiously I just went onto the Holden website and they only show the paddle shift available as an option on the SV6's and the SS's it doesn't appear on the other models when you do the Build & Price thingy. I'm...

    Paddle Gear Shift

    Well I've had the paddle shift fitted for over a week now and I'm glad I did it. I'm actually liking the flat bottom steering wheel more than the paddle shift. I like how you can activate the manual shift from the paddles without touching the transmission lever, its good for overtaking on...

    More Proof Holden Hates Commodore

    Well in 30 years time they will all be bidding on an old 2017 VF11 Redline and telling each other "but they only cost around $65000.00 back then" I wish my old man had bought more than one of these V8 dinosaurs with a manual gearbox that I have know idea how to operate. And whats that third...

    Paddle Gear Shift

    Well I've booked my vehicle in to get the new wheel and paddles fitted at my local dealer in Wodonga Vic, They quoted my $620.00 fitted which is the RRP on the Holden website. I was worried that they would sting me, as I didn't buy the car from them only because they didn't have or couldn't get...

    Paddle Gear Shift

    Hi All I am considering retro fitting the genuine Holden gear shift paddles to my 3 month old SV6 Sportswagon. I also like the idea that you get the flat bottom steering wheel as well. I have few questions to those who have had them fitted to their VF11 Commodores. Is it worth having or does...
