So is this something that needs to be done then? My dad is doing the engine oil change in my car tonight, but do I need to worry about this as well? :)

I've put it on normal play & it's fine, will try it tomorrow with another CD. I think it's the random play function though. I've still got warranty on it & there's a couple of other things I want checked out so might just book in a day at the dealer for it ... make the most of warranty!

Hi guys, I've looked through & can't really find anything close to this issue. Apologies if there's already a thread. I was driving today & had a CD on in the car. I flicked it on 'Random Track' & let the album play out. At the end of the album, the CD player turned off. I figured that was...

Sorry mate, no can do - you can get the normal prestige plates brand new for more than that, and these were quite hard to come by.

Hi guys, Really need to sell these, willing to drop the price down to $7,500 neg. Cheers Caitlin

Another bump ...

My car died on Boxing Day - bloody annoying, nothing was open then (a Saturday) then everything closed on the Sunday, then the Boxing Day Public Holiday was Monday so had to wait til the Tuesday to get it looked at - charged at 600cc like nothing was wrong. Strangely enough, the battery was...

10,019. That game is awesome.

How good is Poulet's?!

*bumpity bump-bump*

I'm interested in getting a flip key - bought my '08 SV6 secondhand and one of the keys (used as the primary key) is worn out - the rubbers are peeling off the buttons. Do you think then, going by what vol800 said, that I'd need a new key assembly? Or will they charge me something similar - the...

Just an update, took my car into the dealer under warranty & they replaced the front struts, insulator somethings & another bit. I'll grab the receipt from the car when I have a moment :p but this seems to have fixed it, so thanks everyone for your help :)

I had a similar clunk, got it claimed under warranty, they replaced the struts. Assuming it's the same problem I had, completely safe to drive but I'd get them to fix it as soon as possible just for peace of mind :)

Whoa. I did not understand any of that ^ Took it to the dealer & they checked it over but couldn't find anything wrong with the cruise control, must have been a glitch or something. I think that's what the gist of the above post is? The 'clunk' got fixed also, they replaced the front struts...

I have had no aircon problems, usually have frostbite when I get out of the car but have noticed it alternating between high and low when you first turn it on. Reckon it's worth dropping it in to the dealer? Still under warranty, I'm determined to get as much out of it as I can :p

I normally turn it off, just because I'm a little OCD & hate things flashing at me that don't need to be there :p Anyway, phoned the dealer today & it's booked in for Thursday morning. There was that 'clunk' I mentioned in another thread that needs to be looked at as well, but hadn't got around...

I'd like one, if you've got some - caitlinbwilliams at gmail.com

That brought a bit of a tear to my eye; we lost my dog earlier this year to a paralysis tick & although it's completely different circumstances, the loss of a pet is just horrible. Ziggy was a gorgeous Husky, was only 2 yrs when she died & it was just the most heartbreaking thing. I completely...

I used to live in Katoomba, spent just under a year there. Kinda miss it, especially the weather - Cairns is so hot! I miss Poulet's chicken (is it still there?) and Cafe Josephan's in Leura - I was dreaming of their waffles last night!

I think the main point being missed is you have to give way to people on the roundabout - not wait til the traffic is completely cleared then go. So, you can have more than one vehicle on there, you just need to wait for the traffic to clear & when there is a safe gap, you can go.

On a similar note, I have an iPhone that I use for phone calls with the VE's inbuilt Bluetooth system. I'm looking at getting one of the phone cradles that sit in the bit opposite the handbrake, but not sure if they'd fit an iPhone. Anyone know if this is true? I use my iPhone as an MP3 player...

I get allergies from dust & cats, and used to take all the hayfever stuff. None of it ever worked, so I ended up being referred to an allergist in Brisbane who recommended I get de-sensitisation shots weekly for a year, then monthly. I've been on the monthly for awhile now, and definitely...

I've got an SV6 and the aircon is great - Cairns has horrible heat, and within 1-2 minutes of getting in, the car is cool. So, you definitely have a problem :) get it looked at before summer arrives!

My dad is definitely a hoon - forever telling us stories about when he was a kid & the cars they drove. He had a few panelvans he would enter in car shows, he did up a VB Commodore (then a week later, Mum drove it up a steep gutter & destroyed the skirts on it, it was only a few mm of the...

I did that today, parked in this section of the carpark that was hidden by ramps and walls and things hoping that no one knew it existed & no one would park there. Reversed into the carpark with a pole on one side figuring I'd get out easier when I left. As I'm standing there, about to lock the...

That's nice ^^ A friend of mine bought a brand new Subaru Impreza the week after I got my car so we're both pretty paranoid together. We both make a habit (as much as possible) of parking next to each other - lessens the chance of someone hitting our cars because we sure as hell aren't going to...

Since I bought the new car, I'm very particular where I park. I avoid, at all costs, cars that clearly have had children in them (car seats, toys etc) - kids are terrible with opening doors on other cars. I do my best to park as far away from the doors of the shops as possible (when at a...

I think all the talk about lowering was by the other guy, mine hasn't been lowered at all. Haven't had a chance to take it to the dealer but it also hasn't made the noise in a few days so will see what happens.

Carlton. My mum barracks for Carlton, her mum barracked for Carlton, her mum barracked for Carlton ... etc. My dad & brothers are Essendon supporters - Dad's Dad is an Essendon fan, his dad is an Essendon fan ... etc!

Makes you take a step back & think ... we had something similar come to school in year 12 and I have to say, it's far more effective than the newspaper & TV ads, at least for me. It's reality, staring you in the face.

I think it was great, show the Americans what we can produce :) Pontiac have made them look awesome though, so I think it was a win/win situation all around.

I think this is the first photo I've seen of it, looks good James :) didn't realise Liam was on his L's though? That's frightening ...

Mine is a March '08 model so that would make sense ... I was just talking to Dad, he's concerned they'll charge me heaps for labour - will that come under warranty also?

I'm 19, 20 in about two weeks.

Yeah, that's a good point. "Annoying" is better than "Potentially dangerous" ! Might give them a call through the week, will let you guys know how I go!

That would make sense, something like that. It's an '08 model - is that as early as you're thinking? If that's what it is, do you know if there's any way to fix it?

RE: the clutch post, it's an auto so that rules that out unfortunately :p I took Dad for a drive in it today, and still no clunk - I think he thinks I'm imagining things! I'm kinda determined to find out what I'm doing when it happens so that I at least can give the dealership some kind of...

I'm into mostly Aussie rock so anything along those lines - 'Stumblin' by Powderfinger is a good one, as well as most songs by The Living End. I love the Hilltop Hoods so they're usually in my playlists. Woodstock 2008 by Bliss n Eso is a great one too.

That would kind of make sense ... have you got a VE as well? I've been away all week - Dad drove it on Wednesday but didn't hear it, but then I drove it last night & today, and heard it twice. It's a horrible sound, I feel like the car is going to disintegrate in front of me!
