Awesome, thanks!

This photo is taken from just behind the front passenger wheel (facing towards the front drivers side wheel) We have suddenly noticed this capped wire dangling down onto the ground. It seems to have come from the back right of the engine and comes down close to the inside of the exhaust pipe...

Hi Sportwagon Owners, Just thought I would let you know that I am selling my upgraded car seats from my VE wagon. These have been custom made for the car with all styling and trim exactly matching the leather interior. My car has been officially registered as a 7-seater car so everything is...

PhantomVE submitted a new Showcase Item: 2010 Hsv Clubsport r8 Read more about this showcase item here...

Kinda hard to see in the pics, but hot! Black rims look awesome on Silver. Are they gloss finish?

I'd be trying holmart.com first of all, but for good offers, eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices is the way to go.

Ok, so they called me back today, Holden have agreed to pay a 3rd of the total cost of repair. So I'm obviously happy about that as I am waaaay out of warranty (36,000Kms out) and dont have a contract with them anymore. On the flip side, it is a common fault for the VEs, hence why they are...

I hope my Holden dealer in Castle Hill will be able to do it at least partly paid for. - I have the same issue. They said up to 2K to fix. It's in Holdens hands now so I will find out how it goes. I'm at 136,000 kms and 7 months out of warranty so I'm not looking hopeful :( You are under...

Yes this sounds like the issue. @Isaacb, so your in the same boat, and not fixed yet? sounds like the exact issue that occurred to me. The thing is, it won't have good days or bad days it's just very sluggy all the time. I started to accept it as it was a gradual thing I never realised there...

So here are some pics, this is in the day time. They look nuts at night though

I did a bit of research and i think the general time to bake was about 8 min on 100degC, this varies though and I found myself doing about 10-11 min. A few tips you should know first- 1. undo the couple of screws in the back of the light first, kinda obvious but these get extremely hot in...

Agreed, this is what I did. Maybe try eBay, you'll find one before too long. I've heard of someone modifying this grill to fit in an omega bar though, a bit of messing around but could be an option.

So I sucked it in and went into Holden today after my engine warning light has been coming on for the last few weeks. They plugged it in and determined one of the cam sensors was spitting out the error. They reset it and swapped the 2 cam sensors from bank to bank and told me to come back if...

Oh!, have a look at the DRLLITES.COM website, they guy reckoned the chrome ones were tha **** and he only imported a handful of them, but dont you think they look like a camry haahahahahahah

They weren't halos, i tried a few things though. Bought dodgy audi led strips that you can cut to size, had them under the light and they didn't look too good, opened the light, put them in, looked nice(ish) but some of the leds stopped working after a while, and hence looked ****. Installed...

These Audi style lights are aweomse and the photos really do them no justice. I picked up my pair from the dude that is importing them a few weeks ago, he said they were only on the market for 3 days then haha! I have the black ones on a black VE and they are HOT! when off they look light the...

I have done this many times, removing the bumper is definately required as each headlight is mounted by 4 bolts, 2 on the top (easy) and 2 underneath. - I am really struggling to see how it could have been done without removing the bumper. Once you take the bumper off it is a very...

I just changed my spark plugs for the first time. Im at 130,000kms. I got the NGK Laser Platinums, part #: LTR6AP-11 5144 Heaps more responsive :)

I have an omega sedan with the SS kit. I had the stock omega exhaust for ages but just fitted the quad SS exhaust. (bought brand new from holmart) I'm not dissagreeing with the statements made above but not only does it look very nice, I have more performance (not a huge amount but...

I have a stock V6 Omega and I just put on the standard SS quad exhaust system including SS standard front/rear mufflers. (i think the pipes are 2.25")?? But no drone at all. I was a bit skeptical that there may be a drone but luckily I didn't opt for bigger pipes or anything as the ecotech...

Wow sounds like a lot of bad luck to me. Am I missing something or do you not have warranty anymore.. It should be 3yrs or 100,000kms (whichever comes first) Mine is an 06 Omega, I had a similar issue around 80K kms where the coolant hose was leaning on the engine and burnt through it over...

hey mate, i have an omega 06 and i have had the engine light come on (which also triggers the stability control warnings to come on an off intermittently for some reason) but it was running fine. took it to holden and it was just a dirty throttle body. The next time that happened I cleaned...

it was at first but I have since taken them off. the front of the engine bay scrapes sometimes if your not carefull over speedbumps and driveways though. Also, the rear of the car looks high here because it still have the omega ass in that pic, it now has the complete kit but it could be...

When I bought my VE this was my choice. Cheaper, lower Kms red passion, or 2K more expensive, more Kms Phantom.. I chose the phantom because I love black cars. There is no doubt they are harder to maintain but IMO the end result is well worth the effort! As long as your willing to wash...

To give you an idea, this is my Omega (SS front bumper) with Pedders springs. 30mm front, 50mm rear. It has 20" wheels and low profile tires Even 30mm it scrapes on most speedbumps if you dont go really slow on an angle, also it catches on the front bumper at most parking stops. Well worth...

If you start the car in engineering mode it shows you how many litres are in your tank at any one time... I don't think it dissapears when you are too low either...?

Failed for speeding up to 80 after passing the 80 sign.. Apparently should have sped up to 80 before reaching the sign :-/

Eeeeeaasy :)

+1 for Pedders! I have an omega and put 20" wheels with low profiles and lowered 30mm front and 50mm rear with Pedders springs and shocks. It handles and rides great! It's a little firmer than stock but supprisingly not much at all! Vast improvement!

Nice car! they are not simply plug and play, they will need to be wired up for an omega as there was no existing fog lights installed. I'm in the same boat, I have an omega with fog lights that are not wired up yet. You will also need a new light switch (one that pulls out to activate the...

Hi Guys, Brake pads aren't hard to change, certainly not worth paying 100s for the labour. Here is how I replaced the rear pads on my VE, this should be fairly universal to other models though. First things first, buy the pads. I just asked for rear pads for an 06 commodore from Supercheap...

Thanks guys! Looks like worm drive clamps are the way to go :thumbsup: I've cut a piece of my old hose to protect the new one temporarily but will invest in some worm clamps one of these days

I've got 20" wheels and lowered 50mm rear and 30mm at the front with pedders springs. Stiffer ride and more feedback throguh the wheel but still very comfortable. Plenty of room between the guards you wont need them rolled. :thumbsup:

+1 Use bluetooth and radio all the time and no battery issues. Still on original battery 105,000kms. I regulary listen to the radio while car is off and it will cutoff and show a battery low icon on the dash to worn you. I would turn the car on for 10min and then switch the radio back on...

:flame:Has anyone else experienced burnt heater hoses in their VE's? I noticed a coolant leak last week that gradually become worse, it seems where the heater hose naturally rests it has been rubbing against the engine and burnt a hole through it. Just fitted a new hose but it seems that they...

I haven't taken the entire dash off, but open the glovebox and pull out the horizontal garnish from the passenger side through to the drivers side. This exposes some screws holding the dash together. I'd use that as a starting point. Cheers,

Shocking Price for Chrome Window Trim Just called the holden service guys, looking to add chrome trim around the windows of my VE (like the calais have) can you believe this is a $1050 job?? i was thinking a few hundred max. Does anyone know if you can get this done aftermarket? Cheers, Dave

How exactly did you take them off? flat-head screwdriver or something? Then just pop the newies on?
