When this happens, have you tried putting into drive. But then back into reverse to find it working? Sounds strange, but my colorado did that. Holden replaced torque convertor under warranty and all good afyer that.

Yeah i get that, just trying to save the bloke any disappointment if he can't do it.

Why? I think the series 1 looks better. (And i have both)

When it's shut, it sounds ok, unlike stock you can actually hear it's a V8 but quiet. When open, it's certainly more aggressive, i like it but it's not too loud. Highway is the bad area, it sounds **** when afm kicks in. That's the benefit of closing it. I had a mate with vf wagon he put 3inch...

I rate them, mine is 2.5 inch. It's exactly what i want. I have had the butterflys seize up as well, muffler shop was able to free it up, but it had been sitting for a fair while unused so they do need to be operated frequently. No big issue

I went varex remote, i'm happy with it. The good thing is you can close it off on highway to avoid that poor sound when afm kicks in.

From my previous experience, if it's also running rough? it's an injector. If it goes out after a while, just low battery.

Thanks guys, i'll look into that.

3yr old maps won't be much good on the sunshine coast, or probably anywhere in se qld. So that wouldn't be worth the money. Thanks anyway mate.

Apologies if this has been addressed, but my 2014 ssvr mapping was updated by holden about 5 or 6 years ago. But it's way out of date now. Does anyone know how to get a map update? now that holden has effectively gone, i don't know where to go on this. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I went with xforce 2.5 inch catback with remote controlled mufflers, had it for awhile now and i'm happy with it. It's not very loud but you know it's a V8. On highway i will hit the remote and close off muffler to avoid poor noise when it kicks into afm. It doesn't drone, just sounds ordinary...

I have series 1 vf ssvr and while I love it, I have regretted not updating to series 2 prior to 2017. I would have liked the ls3. However, I am starting to think i might not have been any happier reading these threads. I hope you get a good outcome.

I'm a big fan of the bowden's own leather cleaner and leather guard.

I wouldn't be too concerned diysv6, if it makes you feel better, my 2014 redline has original battery 5 1/2 yrs old seq weather, low k's going strong. Had tested this year all good. Also had warranty claims through allianz, again no problems. Can't believe how long a battery will last by being...

Sorry Marcknight, that is way beyond my IT intelligence. But i will talk to some people (kids) and have a go.

I went with the xforce2 1/2" cat back with varex mufflers for my series 1 redline about 2 years ago. Honestly i love it. It has a nice note but not ridiculously loud. It does sound crap when afm kicks in, so having the ability to close them off on the highway is the greatest thing. Even when...

Well, mine need replacing as well. Started it up yesterday and was idling rough, dash message came up, i went direct to holden dealersip, they said straight up sounds like injector, they indicated they have had to replace a few recently, they checked vehicle there and then and confirmed #5...

I went xforce catback with remote controlled varex mufflers on my vf1 redline, had it @2yrs now. i'm happy with it.

Simply no. I have no interest in a rebaged import that really is not a commodore. I don't see why holden doesn't rename itself more honestly as chevrolet. Holden was a local car manufacturer, when you don't actually make any cars you are nothing but a name that stands for nothing. I'd be more...

I recently had the x-force polished stainless steel 2.5inch catback installed on my vf1 auto. Had the varex remote contolled mufflers and it really sounds great. I love it. When fully open it can sound crap when allowing afm to kick in. But when closed it actually sounds good too, certainly not...

I just replaced mine last week, i was happy with original bridgestone re050's so went with them again, i'm happy with the performance and surprisingly i got 40'000km out of them so while they are not cheap i thought they were pretty good. Good enough to go again.

It's actually every 9months or 15,000km. I just had 60k service (vf redline) and i've only got 41000km on the clock. Have a look at the service manual and see what the scheduled maintanance is. Sounds like a major service to me. But toyota just charged me $750 for 100,000km service (wife's...

Yep. My vf redline is a cracker. The dealership has been good to me so i just ordered a new colorado, trading in my hilux. Seems good value. I don't think I will ever get rid of the redline. The missus wouldn't let me anyway unless holden imports the camaro she says. Bottom line yeah I'm happy...
