    VF SSVR windscreen rattle/squeaks

    Yup, had the same problem on my VF2 when I went over any sort of ripple and was driving me nuts. I took it to the dealer, they fitted a new windscreen and told me the cause was that there wasn't enough sealant on it from the factory. I have had no creaking since. This was with within the first...

    Pandora to be discontinued in Australia

    Well, that is now it for Pandora. Got in the car to come to work - plugged the phone in and got a license error. I have now changed my cable from the USB port to a cigarette lighter USB charger. Will have to stream using Bluetooth now and forget that port is even there, until they do something...

    Pandora to be discontinued in Australia

    I have a sneaky suspicion all Holden will do is remove the Pandora app in the next firmware update. Nothing else.

    MY16 SSVR or SS

    Well done - good choice - enjoy your new ride!

    MY16 SSVR or SS

    lol - those are the exact reasons I got the Redline. As they say - horses for courses. I didn't like the SS "Sportec" seats - I felt like I was sticking to them when I got in (plus love the leather smell). Love the red Brembos' with the contrast of the black rims - which make the dirt less...

    Pandora to be discontinued in Australia

    Well, I would be happy to pay for them to put the new MyLink unit in my car if they made it an option. (I know - a dream!) I have a loaner of the new Astra while my SSVR is at Holden for them to look at the front end creaking. The new MyLink with Carplay is a lot nicer to me over the MyLink we...

    Pandora to be discontinued in Australia

    The thing is that it isn't just the Commodore that uses MyLink - the Barina, Cruze and Malibu all use MyLink. There will be a few people that will be annoyed with this, me included and you would hope Holden would do something. I just took out the premium subscription so I could get rid of the...

    I had the same thought - Awesome pics but where are the Red Centre Caps! :p

    Just ask the dealer to do it in the pre-delivery and save yourself the hassle. They give you the original centre caps back anyway....

    MY17 Specs and Release Date

    I got the dealer to do it, but guessing they took the wheels off. The installation guide says you have to take them off, but I did read her and on the SS Forums that you can persuade them to come off with a credit card, but not sure I want to chance it with the shiny new wheels.

    MY17 Specs and Release Date

    Hi All. Been busy over the weekend with a move, but now that I have had a chance I thought I would upload the photo's of the Blue Beast with Opticoat and 3M Darkest Legal Tint. It does round off the car nicely. The Solar Style detailer said that one of his work colleagues got a bit carried away...

    Not that I can tell on the interior, but haven't really tried to tell the difference. I have only driven her 70km all up since delivery. The paint does feel a bit smoother, but who knows - could be a placebo effect. It definitely looks a little more shiny to me. :D

    MY17 Specs and Release Date

    Tinting and OptiCoat done. Paid just for the outside, but apparently the detailer had a brain-slip and I got free interior protection. I will steal a proper camera and put some photos up of it in the sun with darkest legal tint. I can promise you, the car looks a lot better in the flesh than...

    MY17 Specs and Release Date

    lol - well, we all know if there are red centre caps must be a forum member! The Sales guy said he had his doubts but was blown away on how good it looked on the blue as well as complementing the Brembo's. The colour just pops! It took 3 months to get here from signing the Order, but it was the...

    Agreed, it should come standard, however, since I knew people would want to look under the bonnet I would make the show special! To me it was worth the $360.

    MY17 Specs and Release Date

    Sure am. The problem is that it is there overnight and not at home with me. Got a hire car from a place near my work to get home (cheaper than a taxi) and it the exact opposite to the SSV. They "Upgraded" me to a Diesel Mitsubishi Pajero. :eek:

    Hi All – back from getting the Blue Beast! Wow, what a rush! When I get there I spy a black sheet with a spoiler hump underneath it in the HSV section. The salesman was looking very proud of himself and got the paperwork together – quickly the paperwork is signed and sorted. He then walks me...

    Just fixed it - hopefully it shows up now. That is Great news. It is great they are working with you on the issues and you can still get your precious!

    Just got a pre-delivery picture from the dealer. Yes, the centre caps are on! Can't wait for 5PM!

    I saw that, so sorry to hear. Well, rather catch it now than after you get it home - but still disappointing never-the-less.

    MY17 Specs and Release Date

    The day has finally arrived! I go pick my SSV up today @ 5PM. Good luck to the others who are also getting their deliveries today! I know there are a few out there with sales people squeezing them out for the last day of the month. I dropped in the last few bits of paperwork last night and the...

    Wow, Wednesday must be a busy day for dealers. I have been told my car should be ready for collection on Wednesday as well. I don't have the day off, but there will be a cloud of dust and a spinning chair at my desk when I get that call..... As for the red centre caps, I have been charged...

    I was down in Adelaide last weekend and drove past the Holden factory, after I moved away 4-5 years ago. I was sad to see the car lots so empty except one. Yards that were overflowing with new cars overgrown. However, I did have a little flutter as I know my car was probably one of those sitting...

    I have a feeling that every time we see another SS with red caps I think we will all think "I wonder if that is another guy from the forums" :D

    MY17 Specs and Release Date

    Goodness me! Looks like the end of May is going to be VERY busy for the dealers. I dropped off some forms and had a chat to my dealer last night and my Redline was apparently going to leave the factory on 16 May, delivery date of 22 May. He had a VIN allocated, which gave me butterflies in the...

    VF Sub wire up...

    Sorry to resurrect an old thread (plus it seems to have the sound guru's in this thread) - but doing some research so I can put a decent system into my VF2 Redline when it arrives and the subs are bugging me. I love doing my own install - something satisfying about doing my own install on the...

    MY17 Specs and Release Date

    Oh No! That is terrible news. :eek: I was told my delivery date would be end of May - I am already hanging out for those 2 (was almost 3) months to fly past and don't know if I could handle it being pushed out even further! Well, I suppose that is what you get when you want a specific colour and...

    Long time lurker, first time poster. Been reading this thread for a long time and pulled the trigger on Saturday and put down the deposit for a Slipstream Blue Redline. I couldn't resist after my test drive and haven't stopped smiling since. I have been told by the dealership I will have it by...
