Looks ok, back is a little simple though. Will wait next weekend for the SS to get released (sneak peaks in the intro of the front bar were shown I think)... Just wonder how much of those features will make it to the base model....

Holden VE Commodore NON SLIP Rubber Tray Mat | eBay This is the one I bought, it's simple and cut nicely to fit. It's very heavy so doesn't move around when you place stuff on it. It's also very hard wearing, haven't seemed to damage it with sharp objects.

Put a deposit on one to order (white gts 6mt) last Monday, will be delivered around nov/dec (at my request). The earliest wait for cars on order are probably october/november delivery, but this is mainly for GTS in manual. There are still unsold stock of GTS auto, gt manual and gt auto in...

You will find that in neutral the engine will be in idle mode which uses fuel. If say you are going down a hill, it is best to stay in a gear to activate decel fuel cut.

SSV also gets subs and 280kph cluster (not that you would be going that fast anyway). I could of got a thunder at the time for ~38k but the demand was too high to get any good negotiations going (the dealer was going to register it as a demo to get the discount but not actually drive it). The...

Actually it's the other way around. More positive offset will bring your wheels further inward, away from the guard. Offset is a measure of the hub facing distance from the center of the wheel. As a random example I currently have 8.5" -21offset wheels for my ae86 that just fit under the rear...

He said autos with AFM are L76 (usually found on 09 onward ve v8's IIRC). L98 were used on older models without afm (ie your 06 VE SS). L77 are used on both auto and manual Series2 ve. They are both afm engines but not enabled on manual.

Nar it's normal. All series2's ive seen (including mine) have this brand of glass on the side windows, however front and rear are still the normal mob (although all ve glass is cheap). FY usually make replacement windscreens which most fitters use. I find it chips way too easily...

SSVAGON, what month in 2010 was yours built? Mine is a mid november 2010 built (engine august 2010) and so far all quiet (3000km now, purchased 3months ago).

On manuals there is no Park, so the only option is to unlock when you take the key out of ignition. Obviously you can only set it to lock when it's at speed.

Can you post a pic of the door trim? Can probably see if it's original or an aftermarket job. Edit: I was looking on carsales and found a few sv6's with leather. Factory leather should have a stitching along the crease line on the door trim such as these two: here and here This...

After a long trip down south (~500km) i've noticed my seats are having the exact same problem as yours. Mine is a Nov 10 built series2.. I'll get a pic tonight.

Holden website with the updated MY12 says it's still front only. I know the media headline you a talking about though, was a bit confusing reading it. AFAIK the rear calipers will be painted red to match.

HEXEM - Been reading this from the start when Bill first posted this with his and your video's, none of which sound like mine (at this point in time). I can imagine how frustrating it is but I guess you just need to see if this next engine will be fine. I actually wanted a 2011 ss because of...

So far so good with my L77, however i've just ticked over 1100km now (owned for a bit over a month now). My car is a November 2010 build, engine is August 2010. The only rattle I get is if I leave the car for more than 2 days when first started and lasts half a second (or less). Old alloytec...

Looking at the ute brochure recently it said that all the spare rims were 16" on omega to ssv, although my ssv had the optional 17" spare.

07-09 (pre sidi) Omega 4spd auto 180kw Omega 6spd manual 195kw (same engine package as sv6 - has twin tips) SV6 195kw (both 5spd auto and 6spd manual)

Nope, only the hsv gxp got it (and the american rear bar too).

It depends what year model the car is from memory. I remember seeing just before the SIDI was released the 175/180 engine with single vct was replaced with a de-tuned version of the high output 190/195 dual vct engine. Seeing as the car in question is an MY09.5 it probably has the detuned...

Unfortunately they only came on the 2L 6cyl 1G-GZE soarer (boxy square ones), not the 1UZ-FE 4L V8 sc400 lexus/soarer(round thing). The Z after the dash in the engine code denotes supercharger :)

It's on the net, can be downloaded using torrents. Was an interesting style, here is a pic for reference

FE3 is firmer but it doesn't sit lower (probably higher if anything). It's about a 100-110mm gap between the guard and tyre

Looks like the GXP package, same wheels, suspension and brakes as the original Pontiac GXP.

Looks like the Statesman goes to Caprice and Caprice goes to Caprice V

Mine falls into the vin range, but will wait for the letter to come first.

It was stated in a news article not long ago that it was now an option. Anyway I saw a lot of new G8's at dealers today, all ssv. 1x crunch ute, 3 poison ivy sedans, 1 silver wagon and 1 poison ivy wagon ;) (only joking)

Yep you can. It is now (apparently) a $1000 premium over a regular ssv to get the pontiac style ssv. Saw a silver ssv ute with the g8 front at a dealer yesterday (2010 built).

Yeah ive got more than 60 on just the bonnet and roof. Only the drivers door and tail gate didn't get hit. The annoying one is the million minor ripples and dents I now have on the rear passenger quater :(

I think yours being under a tree saved it a little. Mine was out in the open and copped a lot of dents and broke the windscreen. How many dents did yours get on the roof and how bad? Pics seems like you got a lot of minor ones.

I think i might get mine checked out, it seems to take a while for the compressor to kick in and fan speed seems to ramp up 3 times (5-10seconds between each ramp in speed).

My vote aswell, although it is a semi-synthetic oil. I have ran 5w-30, 10w-40, 15w-50 varients of this oil in my track car (depending on operating conditions) with good results. It also seems to clean/remove carbon build up and prevent it from occuring. The oil's main three purposes are to...

which includes the traction control system. It turns off every bit of assistance except abs.

Was having a look at the new omega SIDI setup and now they run a dual exhaust setup (with the omega bumper). Holden now probably have the lower plastic panel with the dual cut outs for the omega available. Features - Commodore Omega - Commodore Range - Vehicles - Holden. Go better.

The covers have already been available on MY09 and later from memory :)

The shape should be the same. Only different one is the statesman/caprice

Ive noticed this too on my ute. The caps dont sit on properly, but its mainly due to the design of the center cap of the rim (which wont be the problem on sv6/ss/ssv etc). I would get a bit of tape and make one layer around the wheel nut then slip the cap on (should fit tighter on).

So are you saying the Berlina has the same dimension tail lights as the Omega? If that's the case, you are wrong. Berlina have the same sized tail lights as Calais. Pretty much assuming bumpers will not be swapped over: Interchangeable lights: Omega SV6 SS SSV..........That said omega...

I get this too, but I have a feeling that its caused by a low oil level. Mine does not grind, but its a bit notchy, specially when selecting 3rd or 4th. Will get it checked out when it goes in for the 3000km check in a month.

Have you got a VT-VX glove box in grey? Condition and price if you have one, cheers.
