the fans should still come on - the lights and temperatures will not show though.

a poorly lit comparison as I changed my VFI to VFII lights:

someone ask for Slipstream blue with blackout? A work colleague of mine just picked his up with the kit fitted from factory: and another in Red, front on, from another (lucky) colleague:

I've got a Galaxy Note Edge and it doesn't enjoy being plugged in to the USB (it also discharges quicker than it charges when plugged in to it too) - I know i get a "Vista" button in mylink when it is plugged in but can't think at the moment what it does. There used to be a setting somewhere in...

the bottle opener and dealer keyring against the key in my pocket has in the past bumped the panic button.. i found moreso i had accidentally popped the boot and would only notice if i saw the car out the front of work or i walked back to the car with the boot up. thankfully i've had nothing...

are you referring to the EDI screens on GenF HSV's? If so i believe it to be possible but you need an EDI module out of an HSV and then have the mylink reprogrammed with the VINs etc. lotta work but doable if you know someone with the skills and the hardware.

Yeah no worries mate. for cars as dark as yours (also black and depeding on how i'm feeling on the day prussian steel) i feel it's better with chrome so as to break up the vast amounts of dark colours and emphasise grills etc - white, red, green, orange etc look great with only black and colour...

I had the 'black pack' fitted from Holden when the car was built - was cheaper than buying everything seperately and getting dealer to install - this was the grille surrounds and DRLs as well as side vents but I also had phantom black mirror scalps fitted to. overall i'm really happy with the...

I didn't know they made ones for pontiac.. and the one you linked is of a Buick... but i know JHP Vehicle Enhancements in Melbourne i know they do "conversions" of stock Holdens to the Pontiac look, so i'm sure you could get the airbag cover from them.. i think you have to buy the whole airbag...

if you really wanna change it you can buy other pads online etc... for a chevy or pontiac one as an example...

The panelbeater who replaced it should have organised this, but you cant get a replacement sticker - Holden wont issue them again. You can however get a letter from Holden (on letterhead) which has pretty much the same info on it. Give Customer Assistance a call an ask them for a letter of...

you're most certainly right... it's a love or loathe for sure (I love, thus I buy) but I'm thinking the general point to this thread is, do what you want to your own vehicle. it could be worse, people could be putting scoop bonnets on their non turbo Commodores like those Korean-vehicle driving...

Is it wrong then that I've replaced the rear Holden badge with a Pontiac one (and left the SSV / AFM badges on), and also put Pontiac centre caps on the alloys of my MY 10 SSV G8?

The Colour Code for Wild Fire is 662R as well :)

Saw a covered up "VF" around port melbourne this week - was a Berlina Sportwagon... had Calais alloys on it, and was sporting Ecoline E85 Flex Fuel badges... The dash was covered and it had a bra on it, but the grille looks to have taken a Cruze look to it (ie chrome but at top on either side...

my Monaro started doing it recently too - seemed to be warmer weather, but then just started doing it constantly - even the hazard lights would flash each side at a different speed. I took her to the local dealer and he 'reset the computer' (or whatever the hell they do) and she's been fine...

I think this has been addressed in another thread, but the noise is actually a drivers seat belt reminder - if you buckle up before you turn the car on, it won't make any noise.

Hi Forum :) Mum and dad just traded in the SV6 for something a bit different.... 2009 E Series LS3 HSV Clubsport R8 Tourer #0197 Voodoo Metallic (the FIRST Manual Moodoo tourer ever built, according to HSV) Standard: 19" Alloys Reverse Camera Velour/Cloth Trim White LEDs 6.2L 317kW LS3...

it will probably fit but wont be snug at the front as the headlights and grill are different...

I used to use V-Power until they charged me an extra $1 for the fuel card so now i use BP Ultimate or 95 and never looked back. I never use Caltex fuel after friends had issues with it in their commodore (to the point caltex claimed part-fault and paid out).

There's also 95 octane premium available at BP or Shell. it's normally 8 cents~ish more per litre than 91 oct but is good if you dont want 91 or 98...

I love the new badges but i dont like them being on the left hand side of the boot, or that high. Also not a fan of the AFM/Gas/Diesel badges - I agree with the Prius comment! I'm also not a fan of the removal of the 'commodore' badge. I know everyone knows they are one, but they're not called...

would be nice if they put AFM on Manuals as well... and I'd think the system would be alright... it's not like Holden's the first manufacturer in the world to use DoD/ACM/AFM on V8 engines...

would be that way because SV6 are the volume-sellers... prob an auto too *sigh* saw that wild fire colour on a Ute @ the Phillip Island V8's...figured it was someone who painted their car Fusion just to be different!

AFM is on all V8 Automatics - Sedan, Ute, Statesman/Caprice, SportWagon... regarding the shroud and seat belt reminder, I am not sure, but i dare say the utes will get them as it'll all be the same dashboard and front seats... also the reverse camera will utilise the TV screen in V series...

I've seen a few unmarked SS commodores (and a marked one) floating around with SS-V taillights..wonder if that denotes a police-pack commodore?

from what I remember: -silver highlights (currently in new ones but it is a 9.5 feature) -AFM on V8 automatics only -a steering column shroud energy absorber (across the VE sedan range that helps to reduce driver knee injuries) -a passenger-side seat belt reminder (on the Omega sedan for now...

Speaking with my local dealer, they introduced Ignition on wagons and utes to bring it in line with the sedans. now that holden don't make "series 2" models due to the resale issues, they feel it's better to make a 2009 car in a 2007 colour so it matches all the other commodores, and no one's...

I had heard that Holden had to change the engines slightly to meet new emissions targets, and after doing so ended up outputting less or more than 190kW, so they werent able to put 190 badges on as it would've been false advertising. they also didnt make an appearance on the 'series 2' Vz...

it's always 98 for me, usually BP but i'll go Shell depending on price- that Caltex stuff is absolute rubbish - actually busted the fuel lines in my mates VY and made it spew fuel when u tried to kick it over... not pretty... what are people's thoughts on Shell's V-Power Racing? it's an E5...

my Munro was having that problem - at first i thought it was just burnt discs, but i use the same Cds and burn them the same way, and sometimes it does it, sometimes it doesnt. Threw in my new CD i bought from JB Hi-Fi and it started skipping - i freaked out thinking it was busting the CD...

the VZ we had b4 getting the VE did the same thing, it was an 05 SV6 Manual... couldnt pinpoint the problem as it only happened from take off, with Traction On. As mum and dad drive with it off, we didnt have too big an issue with it. Holden apparantly replaced something, twice, which stopped...

was having a goooood look at the recently-released Wagon pix floating around and noticed that the new Calais V SportWagon is running a BioFuel V8 motor, noticable with green 'V-e85' badges on the arse and 'biofuel' on the engine cover... more info on the SportWagon @ HOLDEN COMMODORE SPORTWAGON

latest Wheels magazine (the one with the SSV on the front) also mentions it's shorter design, which I did mention way b4 the big site crash :bang: ... basically Holden know ppl aren't buying "conventional" wagons and are heading for SUV's, so Holden's wanting to tackle a different market - ie...

I reckon that MY08 features of VE are mainly exterior colours - Holden stated that Morpheous (purple) would be a sedan-only colour, and Atomic, Crunch and K-Pow would be ute-only colours, however a quick glance on holden's website (and an "OMG!" at my local dealer) shows that both ute and sedan...

Classic Carlectables also do good die-cast models, mainly of the Racing versions of Holden and Ford, but do also producton models. at the moment they're focused on the Kingswoods, no sign of VE Race or Road cars at this stage. i wouldn't expect to see any die-cast VE's this year though...

i'm liking both, wagon does look very audi but that's ok, audi's look nice. and that maloo is awesome. just make it Atomic (green) and i'd order one ;-)

It's definitely not over! it's only getting started. the new points system is working well; it's letting everyone have a good solid go and puts more emphasis on Qualifying and pit stops than actual racing. what is over is good TV Coverage - Channel 7's is crap coverage. ten never cut races for...

saw a VE SS TMU (highway patrol) one @ the GP on display with the other emergency services vehicles, went to get a pic after race and it had gone =( the NT have new Highway Patrol VE SS's in Impulse, pictures are on the GM Media site or if i can attach one, here too! will try and get a pic...

i know what u mean, my IT Company outsourced it's own IT Helpdesk to India, supposedly due to a "contractual agreement" with that company as we do IT Support for them, it was like a Trade... but we dont buy that for a second. now they're useless :bang: and i will never work for NAB or Qantas...
