thanks, anyone got a rough idea what milage i would get out of the nexen n6000's? I do about 30,000km a year and i dont really care if i have to replace rubber once a year

I'm due for some new tyres on my VE Berlina (V6) soon. I've got 20" Advanti Tourers with 243/35R20 Accelera PH1 tyres (Tech 9 tyres in Perth led me to believe i was getting ATR sports with the rims) which i have put about 20,000 km on them- the two back ones are nearly bold already! now...

Noticed the wheel deal have tyre and wheel packages going for $1990 on the advanti tourers but when i saw that they had Achilles ATR Sport Tyres selling for $160 i just assumed they must be crappy tyres. Last week i pulled into tech nine tyres in O'Connor (near fremantle, perth) and got...

Car: Holden Berlina 2006 v6 3.6l got my 45,000km service in January at the local Holden dealership Serviced according to the ticket in service manual for the 45k service $395. about $80 worth of oil- charged me for 7.5 litres (i doubt they put in 7.5l) about to get my 60,000 km service done...

ripper, that battery sounds good, might have to look at getting one over here. are you able to leave your car stereo running for a while (say an hour while you wash your car) without causing battery to go flat? atm i dont have the stereo going while the engine is off for fear of the...

I was thinking of wiring up a volt meter on the dash so when i saw it starting to get too close to the 12v mark i would be able to charge the battery overnight. I'm not getting any battery low warning or power saving mode- although sometimes i turn my car on and get abs warning up on the lcd...

just had my Holden Berlina 2006 for 12 months. loving it except for the battery going flat on me once every (approx) 3 months which really aggrivates me as i traded up from my old VS commodore for better reliability and the fact that i have a much newer car. The only mod so far i have done...

havent checked this thread since i started it and I have decided im not going to go with that integration kit purely because the stock air con / heater controls are way better adjusting the climate control is easy as turning a knob and all the settings are so easy to get to.... plus trying to...

might help if i posted the link hey, Holden VE Commodore with an aftermarket dash kit and an Alpine GPS Naviagtion unit : Maroochy Car Sound

my local car stereo shop gave me the heads up about a conversion kit that allows the installation of a touch screen stereo that can control heating and air conditioning also. Im not entirely crazy on the look of the buttons that control the heating / air but my desperation for iPhone...

thanks for replies guys. got the VE booked in at the spray painters tomorrow... he reckons he can hand compound most of the scratching out, fix the dent in it and then just respray that corner for $220 he has a pretty good rep round here so I'm pretty optimistic. Holden wanted $390 for an...

yea i think just the v8 model has the dual exaust. will talk to local holden dealer tomorrow.

thanks for the reply when you say insert do you mean just the plastic piece? also my berlina only has 1 exaust outlet its the V6 model although i was sorta thinking of going for the dual exaust look so i might look into it :)

I sorta had an incident with the tow hitch of a trailer, put a bit scratch down the side of the back bumper... looks likes its deformed a bit.. so i was looking on eBay and found a white bumper for about $130 delivered to me in WA.. HOLDEN VE COMMODORE OMEGA OEM REAR BUMPER BAR - WHITE | eBay...

thanks for the replies guys. i have looked thru various threads on the forum but didnt see anyone mentioning an installation of a head unit in the bottom tray until after i posted this thread. anway, what if i were to put one of these 3 options from alpine in? Alpine Electronics of...

sooo im very very interested in a particular ve commodore 2007 berlina. my only dislikes about the berlina are the wood grain trim and the integrated stereo head unit. the latter problem is the biggest headache... it appears that there is a sort of tray right in the bottom of the dash...

so i got an auto vs commodore. the gears have been a bit slow to change when the car is cold. Today i took the car for a 20km drive as per the owners manual and then checked the oil level while car was running in park. found out the oil is a bit on the empty side :s. i have a bottle that...

yea the keys are weather sealed. some of the older keys can be pulled apart such as the early VR keys and we also sell cases (im a locksmith) for the three button commodore keys for the VT-VZ so they can come apart with a bit of prising, however i havent done one so i wouldnt know how easy or...

i just upgraded my sound system over a 1/2 year period. was gonna put splits in the front but the stereo guy showed me these mtx speakers which he showed me he had put in his own car.. so i sort of thought well if the owner of the store has em in his car they must be ok.. they go pretty hard...

i got a gas conversion on my vs executive 95 commodore.. talked to the main mechanic at the local holden shop a few months back, he reckons they found that the valves in the heads get eaten out after about 100k-150k and need replacing. then talked to my uncle who is a mechanic and he talked to...

so a year ago i put a dent in the back of my RED car cracking the back bumper and denting the little panel under the light and a tiny bit of damage to the right quater panel. so finally over a year later i got it fixed i just got so sick of it... scored a bumper for free (wrong colour) which...

an update... talked to a mechanic today and he said that he thinks its highly unlikely the rings are stuffed.. he said the ecotec motors in those commodores normally do 300 thou no problem... pressure test is $100 so i might do it cos to me its probably worth doing the heads again if thats all...

thanks for the reply! no i dont really have mechanical knowledge... i was told i would probably have to do the piston rings as well because of the fact that the car is using oil. thats what my uncle told me... he does gas conversions for a living and has mechanical knowledge.. i went...

hi. so my head gaskets on my car are blown. i can get them fixed for about $1000 but i have been told that i would probably have to redo the piston rings as well so it wouldnt really be worth fixing. so i can probably flog it off for $2000 at a dealer and get a newer car... or im thinking...
