I suppose having it on when the cars off is no issue, I'm just worried the thing that keeps the battery from running dead won't work too well and drain my batteru

Hi guys. Ive bought a dashcam for my ve maloo which comes with a hard wiring kit that will turn it off when the battery voltage dips below a certain threshold. Have anyone had any experience with these? I have two options: wire it into the accessories of the car which may be a bit of work...

Hi guys. Are mechanics generally open tomorrow? I need to get a roadworthy done tomorrow and worried that mechanics around my area will not be open (Mornington Peninsula, VIC). Does anyone know any mechanics down this way that would be open? Thanks!

Thanks... the annoying thing is, I tried to replicate it the other day and it wouldn't do it.I'll try again today and see.

Hi guys. Has anyone experienced the following? It's a 12.5 VE Maloo R8 Say, I start my car in neutral.. get out of it for whatever reason (might need to run inside to grab something), and leave the car on, when I open the door and sit down, the car turns off (say I've left it on for 2-5...

Has anyone had any problems with the EDI in a HSV whereby the screen that shows you your revs and current gear is incorrectly showing what gear you are in? When driving, if I put it into neutral for instance, it will think I've shifted up a gear. If I put it into 4th (from 5th), it will think...

Is the tune literally a computer file that is uploaded to the PCM? I understand getting the tune the way that works best for the car takes a lot of work, but once a tune has been done on a car, is it just a file that is uploaded to the PCM, and can be swapped with the stock program? Don't...

So I'm probably best asking the dealer? Should I request something in writing so that they cant' later down the track claim ignorance to the conversation where they agreed its OK? I'm sure the dealer will try play anything to get out of a warranty claim, but is it at all possible that a tune...

Hi guys. I've recently picked up a brand new Maloo, and would love to get Chev to tune it, but am worried about the warranty aspect. Will getting a tune void my warranty? I'm assuming it is a grey area? Thanks

Yep.. I noticed that too. I've never had that issue with my VZ and was surprised that my reception was a bit static on my new VE. Anyone got a photo of their VE with a beesting antenna? I'd like to see what it would look like.

Has anyone ever bought one of those shorter "Bee-sting" aerials for their Maloo that sits on the roof? I've see them on eBay and just curious as to how good they are, as the stock one is quite long and hits my garage door when driving in (lucky its quite springy and causes no damage). Does...

I did say exactly that actually. He went away for 10 minutes, apparently got on the phone to HSV, did the speal about the targets they have to make and that 63 is not going to happen. I drove a GTS that had the bi-modal today. I'm not too sure I like the sound of it actually.

Ok so I can get one for $65,000. Tried to go lower but they weren't far from laughing at me.. Apparently they would be "giving it away" at 63 (my first offer). Good price do you think? That's for a 12.5 R8

Hey mate. That definitely sounds like it could be what is happening. Oil pump is blocked, so no oil is getting through and it starts ticking. Then the blockage stops, oil flows, the ticking stops and the sensor no longer complains. Sounds logical. How much $$ are we talking do you think? Is it...

I just started it then (haven't driven it in a few days). When I started it, it was ticking quite a bit. Then all of a sudden, the ticking stopped. Right before the ticking stopped, it started to flash "Check Oil" (about 10 seconds after starting the car), but as soon as the ticking stopped...

I am certain there is plenty of oil in there. On the dipstick, it is showing within the correct range- could there be a problem with the oil moving around the engine though? Would a faulty sensor though have caused it to make all those ticking sounds before? I don't understand why it would make...

Hi guys. I'm in the market for a new VE Maloo R8. Just wandering, has anyone got one (a 12.5 model) and what did they pay for theirs? I've got a few quotes from a few different dealers, but just trying to work out how much more I can squeeze on the price. Also- on the quotes, they...

Hi guys. I have a VZ SS that I got serviced a few weeks ago. Since the service, it is not flashing up now and then (probably 50% of the time) "Check Oil"- with the book suggesting a low oil pressure. I had the radiator go a few days ago, and picked it up today. When I drove it out of the...

Thanks for the replies. I was thinking fuel pump, but no it doesnt rev surge. When it works, it works flawlessly. I will have a look at the instake and other things mentioned. The hard part is going to be knowing whether they fixed it or not as will have to wait a while for it to do it again...

Hi guys. A mates VY SS has a funny issue, but it rarely happens, maybe about once a month. He will start his car, and it will start, but strait away it will turn strait back off. To get it to turn over again, you have to turn the key all the way to the off position (not just accessories)...

Yeh I'm sure he does a great job. Im after an inside an out package though, so I don't have that money! I've read many places under 200 bucks gets you a very great inside and out treatment, just not sure who. I remember my old man had someone come to our house for $150 and do the inside and out...

I hear their prices show for this as well though :(

Hi guys. Just wandering does anybody know of a good place to get a car detail done on the mornington peninsula, victoria? I need to get rid of those swirl marks and really just want the inside and out looking spotless. Thanks guys

Hi guys. I am thinking of getting a mail order MAFless tune and am just curious about a few things: - I am looking on ebay for OTR intakes and am just wandering what the difference is between buying a plastic one and one of those aluminium ones- just looks or is there a performance difference...

Thanks guys. Got it open. Thought I was gonna snap the key off, but it got there! Cheeeers

Hi guys. Question: my car battery is dead and it doesnt even have enough juice in it to unlock the doors! What do I do? Clearly I need to get inside to pop the bonnet and the key wont unlock it if I put it in the key hole on the door.. Any help appreciated

Hi again. I've found some. Not sure to get Gold or Silver though? The rears have Silver so I'm guessing it will look funny with Gold on the front? Anyone got any pictues? Cheers

Hi. Still trying to track some down. Holden said they want 750 each. How do I know if they are the 4 piston ones? I measured with a tape and it came at exactly 343mm. Does this mean that they are the 4 piston ones? The ones currently on the car do not have slots.... I found a set on ebay...

Thanks for the replies guys. I dodged a bullet with this one- the guy ended up contacting me. Was hoping I hadn't purchased a rather expensive paperweight!

They are from a VY R8 Clubsport. Harrop 4 piston calipers

Hi there. THey are 343mm. I rang Repco but they couldnt help me. HSV Premium 343mm drilled R8 rotors Harrop Clubsport - eBay, Other Car Parts, Accessories, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 06-Nov-09 16:20:49 AEDST) Are these any good do you guys think?

Hi. Does anyone know the best place to get some HSV front rotors? Not sure of the size, I think they are either 330 or 343. Need some for a roady and they arent cheap! Holden want something like 300 each or something so am just hoping I can find a 2nd hand pair. Ebay doesnt seem to have a...

Hi. I bought a new blaupunkt headunit for my VY and the person told me they would send me the PIN code but they havn't. They are also refusing the reply to my emails. What can I do? Is it possible to get the serial from holden/blaupunkt? Is it an expensive paper weight now? What about...

im guessing they will send me a fake paypal email telling me the funds have been accepted, or send me a fake page to put my login details through

Hi guys. Trying to sell me XU6 and got the following enquiry and it just seems really weird... its from carpoint.. I get the following email: Is your listed Vehicle still available for sale? i'll like to know the asking price if it is available.so that i can arrange the payment. I'll...

O cool..im not too keen on going to stock height. I have a set of FE2 at home.. are they what comes stock with the clubsport?

Hi. I am getting new springs for my VY Clubby as the ones on it are just too low! I want it to sit even. At the moment on my VX XU6, I have lows all around, but the back looks much lower than the front. Does the weight difference of an 8 make a difference in suspension? Would lows all...

Hi guys. The stereo in my r8 y clubsport has issues! When I put a CD in, it makes funny sounds and would say "CD Error" or something. Now it doesnt even eject and eventually says "Mechanism Error". Could this be something that I could take it to someone to get fixed? Its one of those 6...

was a private sale

Yeh it didnt come with the key though, and as well as this, the lights still flash!
