    How to remove interior roof padding?

    Hey I am wanting to feed a cable through the underside of my roof for a dashcam installation so the wiring can be fed through near the rear view mirror. I was wondering if the ceiling just pulls off? I have given it a good tug and it seems fairly ridged, is it clipped on? EDIT: I have posted...

    Dashcam question regarding police

    I have two dashcams, one rear and one front. The rear has GPS for speed, the front doesn't. Check this out, it was just recently: http://www.alternet.org/civil-liberties/cops-beat-woman-filming-another-beating?akid=10423.150287.Q7LlfN&rd=1&src=newsletter838447&t=4

    Dashcam question regarding police

    Thanks for that info... I have a dashcam and it records at a very nice resolution too. I have never been pulled over by police, and I make a habit of driving to the road rules as best I can - in fact my dashcam helps with that too so far as speeding etc. What prompted me for this question...

    Dashcam question regarding police

    Thanks for all your replies. I totally agree, but that's got nothing to do with what we are discussing here. As I have said several times before, I am talking about the confiscation of recording devices that can prove your innocence when falsely accused. Being dumb is a crime, being stupid...

    Dashcam question regarding police

    I was referring to the person behaving normally but being falsely accused. I would have thought it would be in the officers interest to confiscate any evidence that would prove him wrong, like what has recently been happening in the USA. I just wasnt sure what our laws allowed...

    Dashcam question regarding police

    This is something I've always wondered under Australian law, so here is my question. If a police officer accuses a person of unlawful behavior whilst driving, can the officer confiscate a dashcam or recording device if this can prove the accused of their innocence? For example: You were...

    Help me choose from this list of tyres for my VE!

    I am looking for some help on several tyres that I have been looking at for my VE Commodore; I am looking for safety, grip, braking and noise reduction - I would consider my driving to be within speed limit and very rarely give it a squirt if you catch my drift. I am struggling in nailing on...

    VE Commodore Service

    I hope this is the right section to ask this one! I am after a mechanic in the south of Adelaide near Flagstaff Hill area that has a good rep, I was recently stung and I'm kinda needing some good advice on where you guys take your commies! I'm after just a regular service, the car is 3 years...

    No idea why or how, but some thief has stolen the letters on the rear of my vehicle, so now I need to find "omega" and "sidi" badges, not sure what they are called, but the letters! Does anyone have any suggestions where I can buy them? Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

    How to spot an unmarked police car

    Yup, and I made sure I highlighted that to them that I have zero intention of impersonation and if anything I would remove them if it caused offence. They left and seemed content, I was just a bit like WTF... but its all good.

    How to spot an unmarked police car

    I just pulled into my driveway and had a marked police car pull up, officers said they wanted to check my car since there had been an "inquiry" into my VE Commodore. They were checking for Emergency Lights because I had an antenna on the rear window and a GPS mounted on dash (not windscreen)...

    VE Tyres

    Thanks :) The car came with Turanza's, they seem to be a good tyre, but I wanted to try some of the different brands, looks lke they dont do 225/60 R16 in GoodYear, I heard the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 were very good.

    VE Tyres

    I hope this is the right spot to post this. I have a VE and the tyres need replacing - the wheels are: 16 x 7 inch steel, Tyres: P225/60 R16 98V. This is an ex police vehicle so I think the wheels are slightly larger? It seems the brands I have been keen on arent available with the wheel...

    Holden’s US police car ready for orders

    Do other states have front ram bars on their cars, I havent seen any in SA? Also, with the conservative approach the Government has to what Police can do, can they even ram cars to end a chase?

    VE ex cop car question

    Because it has nothing to do with the sale. The owner of the vehicle is all that is needed e.g Government SA, Services SA etc, I guess some people would like to have the officer's name and badge number too!

    VE ex cop car question

    Eh? My car was an unmarked patrol car in Berri (country town) for highway use, it was serviced every 10,000Kms, the history of the vehicle was detailed and it had no issues. I guess I could ask you a similar question. "lol what is with everyone thinking that a ex cop car has been flogged to...

    ECU hasnt been tampered with by me - it's clear now that the mythical chip doesn't exist. Thanks

    Is this an ex Police car?

    Apparently the cops don't chip their cars, from what I have read.

    Holden’s US police car ready for orders

    I wonder if unmarked cars will still use VE Omegas since this new unit is a Police Model? Cant see the point in them using Police Model for unmarked ?

    Thanks for the info, but what is "electrical and drivetrain warranty"? I had a mechanic look at the squeak sound and he told me what it was - just cant remember the technical wording around it.

    VE ex cop car question

    I have an ex Police vehicle and it needs to go to the workshop at Holden to have the squeaking sound fixed due to something not being aligned properly in the engine, it sounds like the fan belt, but I am told these VE's dont have the usual fan belt setup (this is just what I have been told) and...

    Preventing vehicle collisions / accidents on our roads

    I have been witness to many vehicle collisions in my time, some of these were due to people speeding, some due to other factors such as people driving under the influence, the driver's attitude and offenders evading Police. What do you guys think will help reduce people slamming the pedal to...

    How to spot an unmarked police car

    Is that a cop car or your vehicle? And if it is a unmarked car, how can you tell? How come some officers in unmarked vehicles don't wear uniform and some do?

    Car Vandals .... wtf do i do ?

    This is what you need to do.

If possible video footage would be ideal and some photos with your vehicle in the...

    Possible to autolock doors?

    That makes sense now, it cuts all lights to the dash, doors and interior. I spoke with Holden and they told me it is just that, a surveillance button.

    Possible to autolock doors?

    Well I'm completely lost since my car has all kinds of odd anomalies going on with the electronics including some kinda surveillance switch on the roof that kills all lights in the car inc dash and fuel gauge. I get no beeps when I unlock the car either and sometimes it doesn't even flash the...
