Thank you so much @BlackVXGTS and @Skylarking. Releasing the tension and reenabling it fixed the issue and removed the warning light. Only variation was I had to hold down the EPB for 10 seconds instead of 5 for the orange light to start flashing. Absolute legends.

My 2013 VF SV6 Commodore's Electronic Handbrake was stuck on this morning (orange handbrake light with the little wrench was on) and decided to start working when I got home tonight (orange light is off). Update: Orange warning light keeps flickering on and off so I guess I wont be using this...

Its your money. I always bargain hunt when I look for cars so Ive never used a dealer. If he asks for 25k+ (most likely will) I would recommend being firm on the 23-24k offer. Bring up your worries about Holdens future, price of other vf2 sv6's in the market, and he might cave if u give him your...

I don't think any vf sv6 is worth over 20k now. 2017 black edition with low km's maybe. Buying from a dealer is an easy way to lose money vs buying private haha. I got my 2013 vf sv6 with 100,000kms for 11k while dealers were selling them for 20k.

When it costs 200 bucks to fill a tank I can guarantee the average consumer wont buy it. Sure enthusiasts will buy them, but by 2030 the younger generation will want electric and there will be a **** tonne of reliable commodores on the market with not enough demand. A VF SS will probably be...

I had a 12 inch powered sub installed into my VF SV6 hooked into a rear door speaker line without a converter. Works like a charm. Installing it to the head unit most likely will need that outline converter since its a stock head unit.

You are in the same boat as me. The VF SV6 is a great car, imo the best you can get in that 15k price bracket in regards to power/comfort/features and overall value (I bought mine for 11k with 110xxxkm's). I was considering a FGX XR6T tuned for more power, but it is slightly worse in every other...

I almost went to sydney to buy a sv6 storm with LMF (100% not fantale) and it was registered as a 2015 (maybe it was wrapped?). I have seen a few 2016's with LMF for sale but they get snatched up pretty quick and sell for a few thousand above market price.

I've seen a few VFs for sale between 2015 and 2016 with LMF.

For a VF SSV yes, but a VF2 is 30k+. I would prefer to keep my spending below 20k and 25k would probably be my limit. I do love the Holden "Light My Fire" and Fords "Victory Gold" so I would also have to be patient/lucky to get a good price on a car with that colour. (usually means paying a few...

I will look into the FG F6's, but from quickly looking at the prices and low numbers, an FGX XR6T with a tune would probably be a better option for me. Normally I have music playing in an aftermarket sound system so exhaust sound isnt a major factor for me currently. I would actually prefer if...

I will have to get in the seat of a falcon to get my personal opinion on the seating position, Im a tall guy so I might have a problem. Honestly the VF suspension is amazing on the highway and the seats are super comfortable, if I could get the Barra engine in a VF frame I would probably love it.

And the most expensive. If the ssv wasn't double the price it would be an easier choice haha.

Thx for input, why does the turbo get boring quick? Vf seats are pretty comfortable imo.

No VF2 Auto SS's for sale near me sadly, I would test drive one if I could. (owner/dealer might get pissy anyway) Fuel is always a concern as I don't want to be spending 100 bucks a week on fuel as Im not a wealthy retiree but I am willing to spend a bit for enjoyment. I definitely understand...

Redline seems a bit high for my pricepoint unless I just get a VF instead of a VF2. I don't need to brake hard usually since I only really floor it on empty streets with full traction.

Aren't the suspensions the same between the SV6/SS? What is making the V8 more relaxing when cruising on the highway at 110km/h?

Full traction under the speed limit? What would I lose my license over if I am not near pedestrians? I am mid-20's and haven't got a ticket yet (knock knock). How much of an increase could I get from tuning my SV6? (or do you mean the SS)

With the 0-100 I was concerned that all the power would be once you are hitting 70+km/h which I would rarely get to experience. I enjoy flooring it whenever I have the chance off a roundabout or lights but the speed limit is 60-80 (safely of course). I would like to get something like a tesla 3...

FG2 or FG X probably.

What speed are you hitting 3500RPM? I only want to get an auto so it might be a bit different.

I have been considering upgrading to a VF2 6.2L SS. Is the low end torque much higher going from 0-60 or 0-80km/h? (If you have driven both) Am I getting anything else worthwhile except a bigger engine? (already got satnav) How is the fuel economy for someone with a lead foot? (I get about...

I felt the same with the standard non-bose sound system regarding the lack of bass. I got a powered 12 inch sub from autobarn for like $350+$150 for installation and it sounds much better.

Thanks for that. I hate that it happens instantly so you cant even rush to the ignition to turn it off before its waking the neighbourhood up. I understand it wouldn't happen if i locked it with the key but goddamn its a hassle. Clearing the gunk out of the keys and a little bit of fiddling...

Haha, well I have never been able to unlock or lock it with the key so I wouldn't even know lol. Not sure if both keys would be "worn down" in my case since the previous owner never used the second one. My mate said he unlocked my car first try with my key and the car alarm went off anyway...

Exact same problem in my sv6, bloody car alarm started after i couldn't unlock it after a few turns. Edit: Both keys work in the ignition but not the door. When I turn it counter-clockwise to unlock it, its sometimes gets caught for a second like the mechanism is stuck. Locking doesn't work...

My sv6 has Dest/Nav buttons which I assume means sat nav, so the screen swap wont work? Just did some testing, when I tap some parts the screen it makes the tap sound consistently and takes me to the home menu (half the screen makes no sound at all and doesnt go anywhere).

Is this a fuse near the battery or a different one I would find behind the head unit/dash?

Hi all, My 2013 VF SV6's touchscreen hasn't worked since I bought the car a month ago. The screen reacts when I touch it (takes me to a settings page), but I am unable to select anything or use it normally. Everything else on the head unit works fine. Any ideas? I have considered buying a used...
