Bugger, thanks man-found a complete centre console, fascia, switches etc. from a clubby wouldve been perfect! Gonna have to wait around for a vy SS or something. Dammit

I know the climate control into a baseline vz/vy has been done to death, but my question is a little different. I know it's too expensive to convert it into climate control, but my question is simply will it still was as a normal aircon if i put the Console from a R8 into my SV6? Or will it just...

DESCRIPTION: Wanted to Buy ITEM: -I need a black faced CD player, i really only need the face/buttons though-preferably single stacker with black face -Traction control/PWR/Auto Select and window switch buttons. preferably all black -Red Hazard light button LOCATION...

As explained above, my car has had a very loud/violent rattle and vibration in idle once the engine has heated up (after maybe 15 minutes or so). I personally can't be 100% sure if this is actually the case but i do trust my current mechanic as i have been to a few others previously who have...

Thanks for the info mate, I do have some owing on it but I've been offered more than I owe from them (not much more I might add), just weighing up my options really. Virtually looking at going back to square one I guess. As for the chain, it's been making a god awful rattling/clattering noise...

Hi people, not really sure where to put this so apologies if it's incorrect. I've had nothing but trouble with my vz sv6 virtually since i bought it and im finally cutting ties with it. the final straw is a possible timing chain replacement in the next 12 months. Just wondering if anyone...

I haven't been on here for AGES, but today my problem was diagnosed...whaddya know it's the timing chain..strange that it's been going on for 18 months inconsistently, and still doing so without any other symptoms ie lack of performance..I've been told the car will be fine to drive for another...

DESCRIPTION: Wanted To Buy ITEM: A mate has a VY SS ute and needs a) a diff to suit vy SS and b) drivers seat to suit VY SS LOCATION: Victoria, Melbourne near city area CONDITION: Doesn't matter, as long as diff is in perfect working order and and the drivers seat is in reasonable...

Mines done just under 110xxx but to my discredit I haven't treated it very well and couldn't afford to service it for a while, regular servicing and check ups you should be a-ok

But then wouldnt it just make the noise all the time? The car drove better than ever when i first got it back from the mechanic, no noise, very responsive. Now it makes the noise a lot and it sluggish again..car has been in since tuesday, yet to hear from them..see how it goes i spose

Hey mate, yeah well i got it fixed about 3 months ago, costing all of 600-700$ which was far less than i was expecting. the mechanic said it just needed a real good clean out and lots of things inside were just filthy and gungy due to the oil pressure switch popping which they had to replace. it...

My front bumper keeps falling off on the left hand side and i've realised recently it's because the splash guard that the sv6 front spoiler/bumper screws into is missing. Does anyone have an idea of how to find one/fix it? I've searched all over the net and come up empty, something so simple...

Thanks for the responses guys, i was fully anticipating some disagreeance with the choice of white buttons haha. I almost went black, even bought the can, but prefer the white option myself. My tip to anyone is PATIENCE that is by far the greatest tip of all. I stuffed a few things up along...

Decided to take some quick snaps. Car is absolutely filthy, in dire need of a wash but seeing as callum wanted to see the centre dash thought i may aswell just take some when its dirty anyway. Biggest problem with the painting is that as night the lights no longer come through the buttons...

looks mint...and despite my previous disposition, i like the chev badges now *ducks* lol. they look pretty nice imo..anywho, nice ute

Ok. My car has been off the road for about 6 months, i got it back (finally) last week. As some may or may not know i had bad engine problems which have *hopefully* been fixed. It is a lot better than before, car is running pretty well. I'll have to give it a big clean and take some photos and...

looking forward to photos of this!

a little bit of an update/background information which i think may be the problem. it only clicked today that the two might be linked due to reading a thread on here earlier today. ages ago (just over halfway through last year) my car had a SVS warning on it right about the time is was in need...

Good to hear mate! I just bought the same disc/pad combo but i haven't had the chance to test it out yet i have to wait till my engine is fixed/replaced

his LED's are hooked up to his parkers/low beams so they run off them and, unless i've read incorrectly, he's just using them instead of the parkers (i.e parkers no longer usable). Hey Owned, just wondering if you can run the LED's with the parkers on at the same time? or do you have to...

Thanks man, sucks you had to go through that..how much did it all cost with installation as well? I don't get how you can charge twice the cost of a new motor to fix an old one, I mean I'm sure it's a lot of work but what's even the point?

i see, i don't really feel comfortable with touching the engine, im not bad with electrics, interior, wheels, brakes etc. but when it comes to the engine don't really wanna touch that. and he wasn't quoting me 10k he called holden to describe the problem to them and THEY said it would be a 10k...

i suppose that's true, he didn't say it was definitely the crankshaft, but whatever it is he said the noise is coming from the centre of the engine, i have to take it back in 2 weeks coz they are booked out until then and then they can properly take a look but they didn't have time to check it...

how can you be so sure? if it's not the crank its still probably something as big, he said it's coming from the centre of the engine. and he called holden out of my interest as in, he was calling them to find out how much it would cost if i took it to them (therefore my mechanic would make...

it's the crankshaft...could be in a lot of trouble here, my mechanic said he called holden and they quoted 10k for a fix...

i see, well i'm booked in for the mechanic in exactly a week until then im pretty much going to be biting my nails. i'm not going to lie, i haven't treated this car as well as i should've which is why im left with such a huge repair bill. already spent 1500-2k on fixing brakes, suspension...

Whats that mean? I usually use 98 premium fuel, rarely anything else

Ok so i've uploaded a soundclip of the noise onto youtube. You can hear me fiddling around withe the camera first....then you can hear me get out my keys and turn the car on and it idles...and then i rev it a little bit (engine was warm when i did this a little while ago..took me ages how to...

I reckon the VY/VZ looks pretty sleek and classy IMO, obviously once again im biased lol. but i reckon they have nice lines and the vx/vt shape looks a bit outdated. now the VE that is trying a bit too hard...personally i like the VE's look but it is a bit much. Engine-wise...i got no clue in...

thanks for the responses guys, i know i shouldn't be driving it, it's been off the road for about 2-3 months now just saving to get it fixed and doing a few things to the interior i've wanted to do for a while. i've driven it probably maximum 30km in the last 3 months. haven't really managed to...

Hi all, this problem has been going on for a while now but since I've finally booked it in to get it checked out i've become more and more curious. I've searched everywhere on these forums, the internet, google, and nothing. When i turn my car on, it's fine....sounds and runs like normal...

Hey guys, been on here a while, only starting to get back into semi regular posting over the last month or so since I've started to fix my car as i've had a lot of bad luck with it but things are now kind of starting to come together. Something that's always bothered me about my car but haven't...

i agree with the comment about the bigger places, i won't name the company i used..but it was a large company that did my install initially for my car, they put in my 6 by 9's, 5 channel amp, sub and my set of splits. after the install i thought it was fine, it was much better than stock at...
