    check engine

    I suffered the same problem for months when i first bought my VY. Of course it was not till it was 5000 klm out of warranty that the dealer found the cause.

    Police Pack

    Just go to "search" and look for "Police Option Codes" and you will find a copy of the spec sheet for my VY11 V6 Exec ex cop car. No surprises there at. Though it is more like an Acclaim rather than an exec with the add ons in the cop pack. Jimbo....

    VY Hand brake adjustment

    VY hand brake You gotta remove the rear rotors to adjust the hand brake on the VY i'm told. I just booked my VY in for it's 90k service and they told me that it is a major service and part of it is to remove the rear rotors to adjust the hand brake... I'm guessing there is a shoe adjustment...

    Steering vibration

    Power steering hose I had the same vibration problem and the dealer replaced the hose as it is a known issue. In my case it seems to have fixed it ok but the dealer did warn me that for some reason it does not cure the issue for all affected cars. Looks like you may have one of those?

    VY Steering wheel

    My advice to you is to take it to your local Holden Dealer to do it for you. My VY11 is an ex cop and the steering wheel in it had chunks missing from the lower half due to big butted coppers getting in and out with their belts and guns etc hitting it. I was gunna change it myself but was...
