I am planning to do a service on my new (used) Sportwagon 2010 VE S2 and thinking about what other items I should be getting done while its up on the hoist. There is brake shudder when putting foot down so I am thinking about replacing front brakes and rotors. The car has 120,000kms on it...

It is an SIDI

That actually makes a lot of sense to me clubby. I will follow that as it sounds easier to stick to than always checking the kms and month to know when next to service. I think I am going to aim for every six months and checking it doesn't go over 7500kms between services. Hopefully all will be...

I purchased it privately but the guy had it serviced at a local dealer. I may try ring them and see if it was just missed stamp , although I doubt it for some reason. They did sign and stamp both the 75, 000 and 90, 000 services but on the same day, when they did the 90, 000km service.

Yeah it's just had a service done 500kms ago.

Cheers I had a look and it was pretty clean. There was a very fine thin amount of dirt build up in the outer rim of the oil cap, I think it's just a bit of dirt. But nothing on the inner where the oil cap is open to the engine. I will change at 7500 from now on.

Thanks is there anyway I can check for sludge or precautions that I can take now?

I recently purchased a used Commodore VE Sportswagon VE Series 2 and only after purchasing and going through the log books again I have realised that they have not stamped the 75,000kms service. The two services done in between were at 63,000kms and then 88,000kms. Which is about 25,000kms...

Cheers for that guys, maybe I will look into replacing just the shocks as per dabons experience.

Hi guys, I am wondering how can you actually confirm with a 2010 VE Sportswagon Series 2 what the actual transmission is whether it is 4 speed or 6 speed? And which is better? Going to look at one later today. Cheers.

Hi guys, I have recently purchased a used 09 Omega Sportswagon for my wife.it was ex lease and has 130,000kms on it.very well serviced and drives quite nicely. The only issue we have found with it is that the ride quality and Comfort could be improved upon compared to some of the other cars we...

When I purchased this car I wanted to make sure I got the cleanest VY II I could find and I searched high and low. The car was in exceptional condition,both inside and out. I hadnt seen one before in such good overall condition. After I bought it I installed the Advance Headers, got the Duspeed...

Clarion is a very reputable brand and they also make some pretty high end audio products so I wouldnt discount them. I used to work in Strathfield car radios and our manager had 6 JL Audio subs running from a clarion head unit - it kicked the alpine units asses and sounded crystal clear. If I...

I bought a pioneer double din with GPS + Bluetooth for under $499 from JB-HIFI and that was a year ago.. I am sure there are cheaper better units now. I would recommend getting a well known brand - it will be like the face of your car that you see everyday when you are driving it - dont cheap out!

Check your ground and powers to make sure they are not shorting out. Is the amp getting hot?

she has really hit a new low

great "white" up ;)

dont do it!

Minux - what camera would you recommend for under $700?

BJ31OS what type of camera do you use for those shots they are amazing?

Ross, what camera do you use?

beautiful celica

what camera did you use trent?

Take him to the ACCC sounds like a real prick to me should have acted much earlier

Pretty sure they are glued

looks like an ls1

Probably yes with alot of custom work being done

Just cars I have found are the cheapest. THe guys at shannons I have found are a bit rude and have an attitude like they dont need your business.

Nice combo on the speakers. Love the black VYs :beer chug:

You can mount the amp at the back of the rear seat - just make sure its on tight. You could also install it below the front seats.

I think you will need to purchase a ground loop isolator

It wont be wasting time - changing the head unit is a 30 minute job and you will definetely notice a big increase in sound quality over the stock unit. Places like strathfield car radios will charge you pretty close to the same price if you upgrade your head unit separately than if you did it...

You can get them from the dealers or ebay for cheap

Stay away from boss audio if you plan to keep your car long term. Instead of spending $300 on a boss set of speakers/sub/amp - spend the $300 ona good head unit like pioneer and good quality speakers - much better quality sound

If you are going to sell it just put the original holden ones on they are generally quite cheap anyway

There are also some on ebay

I paid about $800 for the extractors and then a decent 3" system should set you back around $500-$600

I like the wing it looks meaner with it on

IF you get a good pair of 6x9s paired up with a good head unit and amp you almost dont need a sub the sound is bassy enough

I left my car parked outside my house for 20 mintues while I ran in to get changed and when I came out there was a scratch about 40cm long along the front of the bonnet :( Anyone know how much I can expect it to cost me to respray the bonnet or recommend any good spray paint shops in the...
