Thanks for the opinion mate, Sorry I haven't written back, been away for the Holidays. Nope, it was reversed into on the left hand side. The lights and airbag have gone back to normal now, its like its an electrical bug. Because I swear black and blue the ESP is still working. I just can't turn...

I kind of agree with this, The VZ I had has the soft touch material all the way down the door, and the rear of the seats. However the hard dash plastics felt cheap as chips. In turn the soft touch plastics of the VE crap all over that of the VZ and the hard plastics of the dash feel of better...

HI guys I would really appreciate any help/opinions you could off, My car is doing the following, only upon turning the steering wheel right hand down. ESP off, as soon as I turn the wheel right hand down after start up the animation shows as if I have turned it off, but I can't turn it...

Cheers guys, damn thing has been bugging me and I really didn't know if I had other options.

Hi, So my cluster screen if ruined, I was wondering if anyone new how to take it out ? Also can I just change the Perspex cover, or will I need to purchase a whole new cluster ? This leads me to my next question, If there is a limit to the amount of Kms on a VE cluster before they can't be...

That's because they are test colours, they release a few colours first and gauge reactions to it. For example, the colour that is production Fantale was on Cruze's before the VF came out, only 10 of them, sent to dealers far flung to test peoples reactions. Pre-production Fantale however is...

Well I wont be getting one anytime soon, was thinking about trading up the other day. They offered me 14k for my SS-V its a manual 09 with 60k on the clock. I politely told them where they could stick their Commodore and was on my way.

Hi guys, So when the VF was released I really likes fantale, but having seen it in real life its rather matte and boring. Did anyone else notice that the fantale show car was a brilliant glossy, metallic orange, meanwhile production cars are nowhere near as glossy or metallic ? just a...

I just PM'ed you Zerone_V, The screen isn't soldered or anything ? It just clips in ? I think I'm up to the challenge.

Stupid phone won't let me edit my post. The CD mechanics are busted, I didn't think I was able to just swap out the face plates ?

Thanks Zerone_V, So if I were to purchase that eBay one, could I just rock up to Holden and have it installed and that's it ? It will be Blur screen won't it and white lights ? Can I take the black covering of my faceplate and swap it over so at least that matches up ? If I was to buy an IQ...

Agreed, I wanted to do that but its looking more and more likely that ill have to replace the whole unit. How ever I'm thinking IQ now. Anyone got any ideas, how much more is then regular head unit, is it hard to do ? Is it worth it ? What sort of features do they come with ? Can I do it my self ?

OK, so the clips on the back of the face plate are broken, so its kinda just sitting there, I took off from the lights, lost traction and the faceplate fell down and the screen hit the knob. f*^ked it and now I am in this position. I checked on eBay, there is no SS-V units, how ever could I...

OK guys, HELP ! This feel off my dash during in some high speed acceleration, and made contact with the gear knob. Any ideas on fixing it ? Getting a new one ? Gutting one from another car ? ETC, any opinions would be helpful, because I don't want to get robbed by GM for a new one ...

Hi guys, I want to get the mirror with puddle lamps and the little ones on the bottom of the doors (where do I get these ? Are they on both front and back doors ?) I know I should wire them into the interior lights, but where should I do this and will it draw to much power ?

I'm not sure the would fit, series 1's have the plastic panel on the back. A series 2 has a material covering that also forms the pocket. However if they do fit, I would like to make the change.

The tick sounds like it is coming from half way up the driver's side bonnet. However when I open the bonnet its hard to pick where it comes from. I am disappointed more then anything, the car is well looked after and has a full service history. I could understand if it was flogged, it hadn't...

Yup so am I, but the dealer and a local mechanic did say that it could be a bearing gone, from the wobble that has made the ticking noise. Does this make sense ? I had a look under the bonnet and I am looking at what I think is the HB and it has a noticeable wobble. I rather p#$$%d off, it's...

Ahhh shat ! lol Well I'm getting the run around from the dealer, but I think Holden might (fingers crossed) come to the party. I was told I could drive it, is this true ? What sort of damage will it cause ? EDIT: I just find it od that it could be gone with out throwing error codes, I mean if...

Thanks mate, no mods so far besides a CAT BACK, was going got OTRCAI next week before this happened and sent my budget into deficit :(

Ian, its manual so no AFM. It goes to Holden for service so what ever oil they use. I'm pretty p#$$%d off at the moment. I've never had any major problems with a Commodore before. VE's aren't built like they used to be...

So another question, related, everyone says that is only going to be a little more expensive to replace the harmonic balancer with an 'under drive pulley kit' is this true ? Also does anyone know what my power gains will be and if it is really even worth it ?

It was a certified used vehicle owned by the dealer, serviced by the dealer and purchased by my from that dealer. However that dealer isn't legally obligated to pass on the warranty even though there is 'certified used' paper work with the car. How ever it's only gong to be about $550 and Holden...

Yurp lol. No its out of Factory Warranty, but It was a certified used car (used to be Holden car) but my local dealer quoted me $550 (A/C Pulley needs doing as well) and are refusing to do it under warranty, also they only serviced it 4000 kms ago. So asked how did they miss this at the last...

Hey guys, Took my car in for a service today, and asked them to have a look at it as it had a slight tap noise. So they come back and tell me that my Harmonic Balancer and Engine Idler is gone. 1) What sort of symptoms would I be looking at, hearing from the car if this was the case...

Well I went and had a sud today and now I'm trying to decide between all black or black with a machined face....

Well black it is, I was leaning that way. A mate showed me a picture of white and I really liked it. So next question get my stock SS-V's done in black or go the whole hog and buy some nice 20's ?

So I would like some opinions, for lack a photo the car is basically the same as mine and its tyre time, so I figure wheel time as well. One question ... WHITE OR BLACK, this is what mine would look like with black rims, does anyone think white would look good ? Also the back of series...

Don't know roof racks, sometimes they are convenient ... Its alright I got the run around from my local dealer that they don't have any Stereo fascia clip anywhere in the country and have had them on back order for a few weeks, walked in to Commonwealth motors the other day and had 4 handed to...

Well I was at a Holden dealership with my mum the other day as she is cross shopping Cruze and Volt of all things. Anyway I asked when the VF was arriving and expressed some interest. The salesmen then proceeded to ask for my details (as they do) and said that he would call me when he go one in...

I am just praying there is a delete chrome option, wow way to much, makes it look tacky ! I much prefer just a little...

Ok, How about the window lock button ? Because that's the only dark on in my centre console ? Also the rear seat window buttons ? Because mine don't ?

Hi guys and gals, upgrading my speakers today and as I was pulling the passengers tweeter cover off one of the clips stayed on the dash, putting my clumsy fingers in there to grab it I accidently pushed it down the hole and dash had a snack. Now is this little s#@t going to rattle and annoy...

This and Chlorophil are amazing colours, as is Karma (but it is aging now) why get rid of Chlorophil and Sizzle for the VF ? I don't want to buy Karma again .... Holden management must be like wow look at this fantastic colour we have ... lets ditch it !

I'd put money on the fact that now the VF has the touch to open door hands, they are the Cruze door handles so they can save money and get em from a GM bit bin somewhere, but the new Impala has the VE ones ... I personally think it's a backwards step, I had never seen chrome done like that...

I don't like the new chrome door handles, the ones on the VE were much more classy IMHO. These ones are too main stream, the chrome surround, painted face were much better.

Didn't wagons come standard with reversing camera and screen in mirror, would this be simple to fit to a sedan ?

Already done this mate, and was blown away, I have speakers (fusions) that I am going to replace door and tweeters with and I just thought I might do the the subs as well, because everthing sounds a bit loose/raddily when I try to get any serious noise out of the system.

OK guys, First up, I appologise if this information has been asked before but I've spent the better part of my day off looking for my answer and just getting confused by what I read. 2 questions: 1) Can I just swap out my subs with any old 8inch sub and just plug the new ones in or is it...
