    Holden Commodore Limited Edition models

    Just had a question about the Motorsport car covers. Not long after buying my car, I tried my own dealer (who sold me the car new) as well as going direct to their spares dept and they looked at me as if I had asked to order a pound of unobtanium. I also tried several other dealers, at the...

    Holden Commodore Limited Edition models

    Crikey - a bundle of problems that could await us. The latest one I heard was the car just stops pulling under hard acceleration at about 137kmh and encounters a dead end for no apparent reason. After stopping and switching off for a while, the issue goes away magically - waiting for it to...

    Holden Commodore Limited Edition models

    Not sure, but some of the last ones had 7 year factory warranty... not knowing that there wasn't going to be a factory to actually honour the warranties (other than in name only).

    Why I would not buy a GM product again

    All this talk makes me think back to the days of the once all-conquering Holden (I’m talking back to the Brock golden years) and the Holden v Ford rivalry that many of us grew up on. The changes in consumer tastes and the declining path Holden set themselves on years ago, have helped ensure...

    Why I would not buy a GM product again

    They seem to also appeal to the urban cowboy Maloo type of driver (we seem to have plenty of them at work). Whilst a V8 Maloo is a nice toy, the tasty little tax dodge they enjoyed, also wouldn't have hurt in boosting ute sales. There’s probably also a healthy market for those who see these...

    Why I would not buy a GM product again

    Ranger seems to have hit the mark with its styling and car-like interior presentation - in a segment that really only had either Hilux or nothing, as mainstream choices. It landed at the right time, to a market hungry for an alternative and the fact that Ford was clever enough to make available...

    Why I would not buy a GM product again

    The way they handled the Commodore transition after VF2 was really just the final nail, after years of foisting rebadged Daewoo crap on the market... not to mention the cynical way in which GM plundered taxpayer money - which was largely assisted by an inept government.

    Why I would not buy a GM product again

    Mine has been flawless, apart from a suspension warning flashing up a few times on the dash (but nothing ever feeling discernibly amiss with the suspension), which was checked out at the first service. Many years ago, I did have a few Friday afternoon Holdens, but I figured that these last...

    Walkinshaw & Di Filippo

    Here’s a dumb question: does the bimodal work differently in the MSE/HSV, where it is controlled by the little wheel on the console? I’m guessing the actuator itself is an electrical circuit that triggers the mechanical valve opening and that the same functionality can be maintained/transferred...

    Does it get droney at all on the freeway, or can you quieten it down by just selecting touring mode?

    Holden Commodore Limited Edition models

    Sounds logical to me - I think my wife agrees with that as well... :)

    Holden Commodore Limited Edition models

    Bloody hell, just when I think I can rest easy, now I start getting restless thinking of this... Don’t want to compromise my long warranty - which was a real feature for me. But dipping my toe in the water with something like a cat back DPE on its own, shouldn’t bother the warranty. Do you...

    Good luck on getting that drive. Please feel free to report back when you do and get us all drooling...

    Geez! You’re killing me! I’ll be dreaming of LSA freight trains all night now...

    Holden Commodore Limited Edition models

    This. Almost 2000Km on mine (had it for three weeks) and I’m absolutely loving it. My first V8. My first drive of any V8 was when it was delivered to me at the dealers and I got to take it home. I’m hooked and won’t be able to drive anything else now... this thing is a beast when you want it...

    Wireless phone charger under AC controls

    Keen to see this - and I’m sure there are a bunch of us prepared to pay good money to have it as a boxed solution.
