Hey mate, have you got an update on this? Were you happy with the work BTAM did, the gear they supplied and the results? Also, how long did they have your car for?

Hey crew, I'm looking at heading down the modification route with my VF2 SSV Ute. At this stage, I'm considering upgrading the roller rockers, CAI, exhaust in some capacity, and a engine & trans tune. And if I do, I pretty much void 6.5yrs of factory warranty - for whatever that might be worth...

I couldn't care less about the cost of running a V8 but I do wish the tank was bigger so I didn't have to fill up so often. A 90L tank would have been better.

I really like the look of the wildtrak. But i test drove one fully kitted out and it was simply uninspiring to drive.. noisy engine and laggy, and really impractical with regards to tray access being so high and short. And the price is rediculious for a ford. And ford, from my experience...

Yes, it's cheaper to buy the bolt and rubber gasket than it is to buy just the gasket.

As soon as I read the op took it a repco store following a breakdown, I just new he was going from bad to worse. Cut your losses, get your car back asap and find a mechanic who has half a clue. I do hope you get it sorted without havingvto completely touch your toes.

I guess a question i use to justify such pur hases is, is it really going to be $50k better than the calais? It's why I bought a ssv VF2 ute instead of a maloo. But I understand how the ego can get in the way of rationale.

After a lot of haggling at different dealers, best deal I could get in late October Was $61k for white SSV Redline Ute with HF20s, towbar & weather shields. I bloody love driving this thing.

That's petty normal especially if the oil has never been changed in 100k km. Good idea to change it again in a few months to double check for more shavings and back to back oil flush never does any harm. As long as there's no big chunks, you're all good. I'd do the same with the diff as good...

Cheers guys. I ordered one this arvo. Should see it on Thursday. I'll be installing it myself so will do a bit of a write up & review.

Thanks. The manual one is only a 200 cheaper soits not a bad price comparitively. Hows the fit & finish of it around the edges. I'll be fitting it myself. Any tips if you fitted yours?

Hey boys, I had a Blueys Ute World roll top on my last ute which was great, but the manual opperation was a bit tiresome several times a day. So I'm ooking at getting one of these, which is much the same but remote operated. Being in shitney i can't visit the store so does anyone have one or...

I call it Guzzla, my misses calls it Snowy.

I'd start by checking the tyre pressures with a reliable gauge. They may have a low pressure alarm which is what you're seeing. I haven't read that far into the user manual.

Being a work vehicle, I normally just use a set of heavy duty rubber floor mats. But I'm considering getting a set of OE mats to further protect the carpet (these will be under the rubber mats I intend using) My question is- Are the factory floor mats worth the $100, or am I better off just...

A while ago I owned 80s land cruiser that had a 5sp manual transmissions. They were known to be notchy to change, particularly 1st & 2nd and worst when cold. On the advice from other owners with the same issue, I swapped the gearbox oil for Castrol Manual VMX-M 75w80. Instantly, I had a...

I remember driving Dad's V8 VK Berlina on the road well before I was legally allowed to drive - it was the first car I'd ever driven and that V8 sound was simply intoxicating even back then. And I spent many years riding shotgun in a mate's genuine LC GTR XU1, 308 SS Hatchback and VL 3L turbo...

Discussing the 7yr factory warranty with a dealer, he reckons it costs them an extra $682 that gets passed on to the customer. Also said it covers v8s and not just v6. I'm not sure how to varify the actual cover or any real added cost, as it's not mentioned in the link. I'm not sure if true or...

How does one check to see if they have the latest firmware & software update? Is there a part number of sorts I can confirm with the dealer?

Thanks guys. After getting some stupid pricing, I'm currently at $62k (ssvr white, auto, towbar, hf20s). I'll keep chipping away but as a back measure and reference, I've contacted an old mate who's a broker. Should have the deal I want by weeks end.

Also to the OP, I'm curious to know many km on your vehicle and did you happen to notice the colour of the oil? Was it bright red or brown? Did it smell sweet or burnt?

To the OPs original question, I'm sure by now you've sort professional help. Getting the transmission oil level correct is quite a complex process as i found out doing a drain and flush on a FJ Cruiser I owned. It essentially requires the use of a device that can measure trans oil temp in real...

Jesus!!! $750 a litre!!! It would want to be bloody good for that price.

Alright guys, sold my other car this week so going SSV Redline ute shopping!!? Any update on good deals getting about? Any Sydney dealer recommendations? Open to traveling outside Sydney / interstate if the price is right. Thoughts on getting a good deal right at the end of the month?

The recommended OCI / servicing is based on ideal driving conditions, which is listed in the user manual. It also lists other driving conditions that warrant more frequent OCI/servicing. For the most part, Id bet very few members could classify their driving conditions as 'normal' as defined in...

Hey all, Last Holden I owned was a 2001 VU SS. Chipped, regeared and fill exhaust, it was easily the most fun car I've owned. Several vans and 4wds later and I'm keen to get behind the wheel of the last of the latest and greatest Holden ute. Does anyone know of any good deals available in...
