Seems like they are charging over the roof, can you believe it over $200.00 just for replacing the brake pads.......

Thanks for the tip, I will definitely check with the service repair centre on the oil.

I would like to take on board recommendations from you experienced members. Do's and Don't on the topic. I'am based in Melbourne inner- western suburb, my VE Berlina is due for its 150,000 major service, what I understand so far is I require a transmission service , I would also like the...

Correct.Just charging points.

Does the VE have dual 5V chargers, my VT seemed to have it but cannot find 2 on my VE, step in the backward direction by Holden or am I that dumb that I cannot find it anywhere in the car :)

Wow, I think I will get one of those cheap ebay ones that straps to the bonnet.

Hello Everyone I wanted to buy a bicycle rack, but I think I require a Hitch receiver? Any idea on where I can get a budget one, also what does it cost and lastly, is it easy to install ? Thanks

It is isn't it !, love it specially the price I payed.

I managed to find the wires, green is for red and black for black.Installed the reverse camera successfully. Thanks Guys!

Ohhh Cool, when you say play around with the harness what do you exactly mean? I read the instructions, all I need to know is which cable is the reverse light?, can someone take a picture of their car and highlight the wires I need to cut, can this be done witheout cutting the wires...

I serviced my Berlina much prior to the 36,000 and now it is too early for the next service. When I check the manual,what it says is the warning is reset during service. I wanted to know if there was a way around that and whether I could reset it myself. The warning comes every time I turn...

Could I alter the position of the rear view mirrors while reverse parking, or is it not permitted.

I have a driving test coming up,I'am a bit overwhelmed by using such a huge car for the test, would like to know experiences of others using the VE Commodore for a drive test before. I'am particularly intetrested in specifics like the reverse parking and the 3 point turn,what else should I...

The only reason I'am so suspecious is because everyone here swears by the name of BP Ultimate,and I frankly didn't find much change in my mileage or performance.

Should I be using fuel from United with ethanol, the cheapest fuel in the market.I felt it was cheap and bad for the engine.

I have been using the BP Ultimate on my VE Berlina 2007 model for about 3 fuel fills now, I haven't noticed much change in the fuel average on the screen. I'am getting about 13.5/100 kms average ,the car is mostly driven by my wife to work and back,what sort of averages are most of you...

Thanks everyone for valuable advise,feels like the general concensus is to find out the hard way, that is by trial and error and there is no right answer to my question.I will see if my regular mechanic is up to the job,otherwise get the Burwood Holden Dealer to do the next service.

The car has clocked 128,000 now the next service is due at 135,000

I could, but would appreciate if someone could share there expeiriences aroung the south-east area dealers.

I purchased a 2007 Berlina recently, would be up for routine servicing. I wanted to get some information on whether I should stick to Holden Service Centre or get my local mechanic to service it. Would there be any specific reliablr Holden Dealer Centres you would recommend,i want to make...

what has changed

I would disconnect it,only if I know where to look. Then sound seems to come from around the steering wheel.

The audio is all standard,the distortion is from the centre speaker. I'am not very keen to remove that speaker as I want to keep everything stock. Would there be a matching speaker I could readily replace it with and wouldn't cost much.

I'am sure this topic must have been discussed many times here. What I'am looking for is a simple solution to stop this distortion which starts at about volume level 15,even when the EQ is set flat and all the other DSP is neutral.

I bought the car today. A 2007 Berlina.

I don't see myself buying the car anymore, because of stupid finance companies.

The thing is I won't get my car because finance companies don't want to give me a loan,unless I pay exorbitant interest rates and other admin charges.

Thanks mate,I know there are a few available with attractive price tags,want to make sure I make the right decision.

Thanks everyone for your valuable inputs,I will use BP Ultimate as per the unanimous opinions here.

I'am planning to buy a used VE Berlina, what would be the fuel recommendations for me.

I'am not sure if anyone has heard about a faulty belt which caused some noise between the 2000-3000 rev mark ,I heard it was replaced with a thinner belt.

I did check fowles, but the prices after all taxes and fees made it not worth it.

Would there be any recommendation from the VE models.

I didn't drive your car, did drive the other one. I would say cosmetically yours was definitely better, the SV6 had a cleaner engine. There wasn't much work done on the car during service.The ride was smoother becaue of the stock springs,the cabin was more silent witheout any vibrations.

I went for an inspection of SV8 and an SS today.
