    New Tyres

    I just replaced the Bridgestone RE050As on my Calais V. They are 245/45 18 size. I shopped around a bit on the phone and the price varied from $330 per tyre to $557 per tyre. Including fitting and balancing. The cheapest was K-Mart tyre & auto.

    VE Speedo inaccurate???

    I had the same problem with my VE but not with my VZ. The VZ is spot on with my GPS and with roadside radar displays. The VE speedo shows 3km/h more than the GPS and radar at 60km/h and 5km/h more at 100. The VE has standard wheels and tires as delivered and are inflated to the correct...

    VE Calais Questions

    The V6 Calais has a 5 speed auto (the 6 speed is only in the V8). It has FE2 suspension - same as SV6 and SS. It uses the more powerful V6 - 195kw. Look on the Holden website for more info on the features. But tell your father to go look at each of those cars, take them for a test...

    I can finally afford to get the sat nav installed. Has anyone had it installed yet? If so, what's your opinion?

    New VE Ad on TV

    Years ago the Leyland P76 won the COTY award. That car was the definition of a lemon. So you always need to take these awards (judged by "experts") with a pinch a salt and make up your own mind.

    VZ Fuel Gauge Problem

    I asked the dealer to put the latest patch in at my last service and it has definitely improved to an acceptable level.

    VZ Fuel Gauge Problem

    I reported this problem when my ute was in for 30k service last week. The dealer installed the latest patch and it seems to have fixed the problem. I filled up and did 560km on a tank (70L) at 10.4 L/100km with distance to empty showing 90km. The low fuel light came on at 160KM DTE.

    VE boot

    The VE has the fuel tank relocated in front of the rear axle. This should increase boot space.

    Holden Releases Pricing For 2006 Commodore, WM Statesman and Caprice

    I wonder why Holden don't release their pricing with full size spare included, then offer a discount for those customers who want the space saver instead.

    Genuine Holden Sat Nav

    I used a piece of 6mm timber. I cut it to surround the Navman, painted it matt black and glued it to the back of the bezel (which is flat). The bezel then just clips in to the dash. If you have got the skill the adapter could be made of plastic or fibreglass.

    Genuine Holden Sat Nav

    Capa can supply one, but very expensive: http://www.capa.com.au/ls1_accessories.htm You could try your Holden Dealer, but I think these were only for HSV models in the VT range.

    Genuine Holden Sat Nav

    Phreddy's blue dash looks much better than the green. I'll have to talk to Phreddy about getting mine done!

    Genuine Holden Sat Nav

    Attached is a photo. I needed to make an adapter between the bezel and the Navman.

    Genuine Holden Sat Nav

    I will post some photos over the weekend. The part number for the bezel is 92114770 and suits VZ model (probably VY also). The ash tray or storage compartment needs to be removed to fit the GPS screen in. The Navman 520 does not have AV inputs for DVD players.

    Genuine Holden Sat Nav

    I recently bought a Navman 520 and fitted in the area where the ash tray goes. Had to buy an external arial ($68) and a bezel from Holden ($80) to make it fit properly. Looks good fitted, but it can still be removed easily if I want to put it in my other car.
