I guess some more background. When I called the dealer I explicitly mentioned the amount of cases I found experiencing the issue. Along with the drive.com.au article. When I asked about if Holden would cover it, I was told they would need to examine the vehicle first to determine and then lodge...

Has any had this enacted recently? Just had this exact issue and was told by Holden dealer they would no longer honour goodwill as car is too old. Nov 2014 VF R8. 50,000 kms. Quoted $1600 including labour to replace all 8 Injectors.. and there is no guarantee the issue will go away. The...

https://formulatech.com.au/walkinshaw_carplay_android_auto/ $1200. I would expect that such a premium over the "standard" product, would result in superior support, and better integration into the standard system. Use of OE USB and mic etc. I would also expect a better installation rather...

This is interesting.. https://www.walkinshawperformance.com.au/commodore/carplay/

Alrighty, we changed the chains, tensioners, guides and idler sprockets. Everything lined up according to the TechTalk article. Idling smooth no rattles or noises. However, now I'm getting the P0009 error code and doesn't have much grunt as before in 3rd gear, from what i've read it's 99%...

Yeah I've done a bit of research, but I just can't get my head around if you take chains off. And nothing moves.. Why chains don't go straight back on? I can't figure out why crank is rotated for stage two, that would leave the chains misaligned on the rh bank.

Thanks for that wozza. I note that is slightly different with the camshaft chains different to the vz. But anyway.. the most notable thing I found was to rotate to stage 2 before removing the rh side chain. Then rotating to stage 1 and completing the removal and installation of the lh side...

Can someone explain to me, why this is done in two stages. I need to do this, but after reading the guide, why wouldn't you remove everything and then fit the new chains, wouldnt everything line up correctly on the first stage? I don't quite understand how you take chains off, fit one side then...

The second one is for the Sat Nav system.

Put the car into reverse, then hit the "M" button on the side of the sea. You want to hear two beeps. That means the dipping is active, one beep deactivates it. When you hear the two beeps, if the mirror doesnt move. Adjust the mirror the way you want, then put the car into park. Then save the...

My dad and I are in the exact same boat, you can get new ones from Holden, and finding ones without tears in them at the wreckers is proving to be difficult, our plan is to buy some new left hand ones, the ends on them are different which you can just swap. and the holes for the side skirt, may...

The top flip compartment has 4 screws holding it to the dash. Take out he rubber mat and you will see them.

I know of two VDO Daytons that were released with the VY/VZs. The MS5400 and MS5100. The former is the better unit. The best unit is the MS 5200 which came out on VEs and FG Falcons, these units use SD cards compared to discs.

I just installed a reverse camera into the Factory system, no splicing of cables. just an adapter.

Certain specs of the US delivered Pontiac GTOs also had door lock buttons, and also a double hole plate, a double hole at the rear i have a spare one if needed. The Caprice models also had the option of front park assist which i believe only came in black?. And also a hazard button which takes...

I believe that you would need memory seats.

I just had nutserts installed into the boot for the Nav computer, I just went into a fastening place and had them install a couple for me for a small fee. The boot ones are 9 mil M6 hex nutserts. So the ones in the bonnet may be the same.

Answer to question 3, I had the exact same issue and i ended up replacing the entire cluster. 0 issues since.

I just recently got my hands on the factory system, with the molded lower console. The screen has a bracket with three bolts that is held in place beneath the stereo. and the loom snakes down the passenger side of the car into the boot where the computer is located. Mine is out of a caprice (I...

Sent you an email Tazz, your inbox is full..

Ok so ive pulled it apart and checked the clearance of the needles. They seem fine. I've recalibrated the needles as per your guide in your cluster thread. So ill see how it goes. However id like to note that when I was turning the dials to see if there was any rubbing noises. The speed needle...

You wouldn't want to work in 90% of Victoria's public schools then.

hmm, might have to go the General CT then. If the ultimates are going to eat the rotors up, might get something a little less harsh.

How many Kms have you done With the bendix to notice the rotor wear?

I may be making the switch to Bendix Ultimates or CTs this time round as the QFM HPXs were a tad on the noisy side for me. Has anyone had a solid go at both recently? From what I've read the Bendix have come a fair way in terms of wear and dust and just want to know if this is at all true.

I wasn't very clear, I'm talking about distance to destination. Which is set to 500 when ever i reset the trip meter, this doesn't fluctuate depending on fuel like distance left does. The distance to destination decreases in increments of 10, so being 120 kms out.. Is a bit suss to me.

Certainly possible, I wasn't overly impressed with the workmanship of the conversion so i'll take a look at that. However ive had another look. It also seems the Kms traveled don't line up with Distance left. eg Distance left is set to 500 on default. And i traveled over 410 kms and the...

Hi All, i have a strange Speedo issue where the digital speedo is not reading the same speed as the needle. Yes i know they are not 100% accurate, every so often as im driving along the difference can be upto 7km/h and other times <1km/h for the same speed. But as you can see with the...

Someone say green?

The SSV series 2s look like they were made for the vy/vz. They suit so well and look so nice with their 2tone finish.

I currently work in two schools, one with 1200+ the other with ~450. Both are under the same circumstances as I mentioned before, staff don't pay for anything. And the Notebook they are supplied with, the current model is a Lenovo L430 and L420. Both are extremely durable machines, the reason...

This statement couldn't be any further from the truth. Just about everything a teacher would use in schools is supplied by the school.. Their 'IT' equipment they have to pay for, which there is a debate where the gov should pay for it. I am the technician supplied by the Victorian DEECD, the...

There is a Bordello there.. i think your car wants you to pull over mate! I've had the ABS fault go off when i start the car, bought a new battery and it hasn't happened since. The ESP fault I've had once or twice at random times in different circumstances. Have had the car scanned and it...

This is true, however people would still buy an SS and do similar mods and could end up costing just as much.. But by purchasing an HSV you get an engineered product that is guaranteed. Your statement stands true For Audi, BMW and Mercedes. Except you pay more for a "premium" brand.

You need to do what jester never could.. R8 Wheels!

I currently have a WDS setup in place to service ~1500 machines, each machine is prestaged and working exactly how i want it. My only issue is multicasting, the network is a flat network with a single VLAN. The switching gear in place is made up of H3C hardware, 5800 for the core, and 5120s for...

Mind if i ask how much the conversion set you back? Looking good man!

You forgot the one that tops that list.. Signatures.. SSV series 2 i don't see many of tbh only one the car they came with, need some e2 GTS 25th anniversary wheels :P

What is your experience with multicasting and OS deployment? Specifically WDS.

Fuji Xerox and Brother are what i recommend for printer brand. Although all my printing at work because Inkjet printers as they are simply too expensive to run, cartridges are expensive. Canon would be your best bang for buck, yours taking forever to warm up leads me to believe there is...
