hmmm. good point. how unaustralian of them lol

Man that would suck, having to start at the same song every day. I changed my mind and went Phreddy's stealth mod aux in. I wasn't getting any straight answers on steering wheel controls and was quoted all these extra things like paying another $150 on top to bypass the security that switches...

On mine the setting is early/ normal/ late. Played around with all of them but they still seem to stay on till some random moment halfway on the M2 in the mornings when they will automatically switch off. If they are off and I go into an underground carpark, then yes they come on. But rarely are...

Warranty actually covered something for once? Whoa... wonders never cease.

Bloody car manufacturers! Why can't they make it easy to replace light bulbs, the pricks? I guess people would steal them then...

Mate, that sounds like a design fault! Have you asked the thieves (Holden dealer) about it?

Are you saying there is no knob switch to select manual on the VE's? I love the look of the VE SV6, was thinking of upgrading to that in a year or two, but I keep hearing they're all plastic and things like this too.

Dunno. Might give it a wipe over this weekend, but I've cleaned it with some tissues, still seems to keep the lights on in the daytime. That defies the purpose of having the sensor. It's sort of like saying, why use a fork to eat when you can use your foot? P.S. Just trying to be funny, mean...

I was browsing through forum threads, does the front bumper really need to be dismantled to fit some new bulbs in? That's ridiculous! Anything else that can be done instead? I can access the driver side headlight bulb (small hands) but can't see a way to get access to the passenger side bulb...

Thanks guys. Quite puzzling that it's decided to malfunction or something.

Are we sure that's it? Does the sensor need replacing from time to time? It doesn't look like a light sensor at all, unless the black plastic is the film on top. Drove all the way to work today at 8am under a clear blue day with the lights on. Damn it.

That's it? I thought that was just the bare body black plastic?? Wonder how that can malfunction... it's huge.

Ok So finally went and got Phreddy to install my aux-in mod for me over the weekend and then went around to get the damn car washed. Then went out to get some white lights, and my mate opened one of the 'lids' from behind the headlights to show me how I can install my lights. Anyways, got...

VERY INTRIGUING. Does this support divx? and steering wheel controls?

Thanks mate... I just wanted a fascia to go with the factory colour of the commy... was researching all night on it... have seen 2 places that do them... might not get the steering wheel controls done right now. Still tossing up just getting Phreddy's aux in done and replacing the radio button...

There are 2 clarion dvd ones under $500 at Soundmaster Car Audio & Alarms - Best prices on Car Audio, Alarms and Accessories but they are unwilling to move on price for installation otherwise I'd be up for it. They're saying for the $479 one fitted they want $680. They also want $50 for an...

If you've looked at my other threads I'm thinking about replacing the faceplate on the VZ commy's radio/cd player because the 'dark tempest' paint is peeling away. I'm thinking whether it might be better to just go for a double-din mp3 or dvd player instead. What's the cheapest that I can be...

how much did that end up costing ya? plus, I suck at removing and replacing panels

Thank you Ozzie! At least I know I can source a new CD player for the VZ... now, does it bug me enough to spend $145 on it.... hmm. Maybe I can sell my old one for like $50 or somethin.

What the? really? how big is that tank? 450km city driving is crazy on one tank.

I'd go with NRMA, when it comes to accidents and repairs they put brand new parts in, rather than old parts like AAMI. AAMI are also bastards to deal with, well my family and I think so anyway. I pay around $800 with AAMI but that's with the flexi-premium thingie... my excess is $800. NRMA...

Hey guys Trying to save money with fuel, was wondering if the LPG is as good with the alloytec as it was with the old ecotec. Reason I ask is that a lot of people are telling me a lot of different things like an alloytec on lpg will end up costing the same for fuel as not converting it...

You changed all the interior plastics? How? Got any pics?

Thanks Torquative I'm actually waiting on him to get my aux in mod done so I'll go take a look this weekend, might ask him to do that then. Thanks... I dont have his number, just his email.

Paul thank you so much for the feedback champ. I see you're in Castle Hill? Very close by.

hmmm might be worth a shot. Thanks guys... is it simple to replace? Not that good a handyman actually. However will threaten heartland holden this friday before trying it out myself.

so u can replace just the whole plastic faceplate on top of the radio n cd player? Sounds like a goer

Thanks :) I will make sure I will do that now. However, any ideas on how to fix/ replace myself or a person that does it? Getting heartland holden to do something for me is like I asked them for a kidney or something... they run away faster than Usain Bolt.

Hi guys When I bought my car off Heartland Holden last year I noticed that most of their cars had the grey paint peeling on the buttons for the radio... on the AM/FM button etc. Is there any way to fix/ replace this? It really bugs me because my car is otherwise immaculate inside. It's a VZ...
