its a company through remserv so i dont know their names just yet, coming thursday ! our car is 5mths old too and in same boat. I am very particular about the car so this guy better be the #### or else :D

no one is reading this are they ? he already bought it :D as for hammered ! we test drove a VE SS and do you think for a minute when they are at the dealers they don't get "tested thoroughly ?" of course they get the boot into them from new ! maybe a month or so of test drives and getting the...

INEQUAL LENGTH HEADERS SHOULD MAKE IT GURGLE A BIT DIFFERENTLY, THAT'S WHAT MAKES A SUBARU SOUND THE WAY THEY DO ! POSSIBLY WORK ON A V6 ? dang caps lock ! :(

got a company coming to do my wifes Fg xr6T next week as some fat cow dinked it trying to get her arse and maccas junk food into her hyundai excel and threw the door open ! apparently these guys can work magic ! 45 bucks for upto 20 dents/scratches ! we have 2 but they annoy the hell out of me !

our car is doing an estimated 30k per year, after 4yrs of 90% highway that will be 120k. now, my XG ute had 400k on it and speedo hadnt worked for 2yrs ! ran perfect..... that car is 4yr old so about 35k per year ? thats not terrible is it ? but the price may be a tad high in respect of the K's...

kinda agree that a big cam at idle in a road car sounds like its fuct :D much prefer the sound of a v8 going at it hard ! :) personal preference but i am getting older so doesnt appeal so much to me !

hehe yeah, the amg stuff is a bit pricey ! :D shot myself in the foot last week as i told the sales manager of the nissan dealer next door (literally 10m to service dept) that i was after a v8 but a wagon but there's been a really nice 2000 vt SS sitting out front of my showroom all week that...

well there's the old chinese proverb....."if its got tits or wheels, its gonna cost ya ! ":D hope it turns out well for you ! :)

i am calm, and sorry, i wasnt having a go neither, you never said what you had done hence me not reading you checked oil and water etc and thats fundamental... i still dont see how it takes for an engine to come apart to see a hole in the sump ? oil would be everywhere on your driveway unless...

lovely car as is. less is more ! ;)

lol.....wagon eutopia to me is a luxury v8 manual wagon. I dont need a sports car, we have an FG xr6t 50th anniversary manual if i want to have loud sporty fun ! I am looking for a powerful cruiser that can take my work gear and myself to customers in comfort ! quietly refined and wafted to...

i never read anywhere about you checking oil levels or anything ? having a baby is no excuse to neglect routine maintenance especially when a problem arises as your baby would be then in an unsafe vehicle ! . the first thing you do is check it over. this is where the problems started. and an...

yeah it seems i may have to re think my plan and possibly wait a bit longer for more cash. my Ef wagon is ok but looking its age now ! plenty of 02-04 wagons for about6k-9k but not luxury or powerful models. See what turns up as i need it to be good nick.

don't think so mate but i really like the big wagons, I carry a lot of blind and awning samples in my car and a couple of fold up ladders (one is 3.7m ) and the ford wagon eats it all up nicely without touching the back seats ! the mondeo isnt as big. we had a v70r and was a hoot ! big box so...

ended up with the FG 50th anniversary XR6 turbo. dealer buggered us about,holden tried to rip us for extras. went to Q ford in springwood and got treated really well. love the car and was almost a VE SS driver. Still looking now for a fast/v8 wagon, ford dont do anything about the 2000 onwards...

good info cheers !

I didn't wade through all the posts but first impressions are ..........why the hell did he do that ??? ....2nd impressions were pretty much the same really.... Not my cup of tea ! I'd rather put that amount of cash into making it stupidly fast ! As for the Chev badges, I actually like them...

proper little bitch fest this isn't it ? :D let people do what they want to their cars , its not hurting anyone ! :)

crewman is a stupid design ! **** tub and **** body size inside. trade in for a hot ute ! :)

they're looking for fairly large $$$ just because it has a v8 stuffed up front arent they ? is a 9yr old wagon worth 11-16k especially with 220k klms on it ? :hmmm: looking realistically to spend about 8-10 grand . any motor issues ? quirks ?

looking at probably 2000-2004 for work ! . prefer something with potential and plenty of go ! whats the pro's and cons with the early 5.7L ls1's mate said bore 7 and 8 issues ? anyway, any help on picking the bad bits would be great ! the good the bad and the common issues. whats best model to...

wife also has tonsillitis.. lots of ill women around :D ... looking forward to see what the cause is ! (clunk, not tonsillitis !)...

mate is head painter at a honda dealer and told me to put the money (PAINT/INTERIOR PROTECTION) in my pocket ! waste of cash ! we took out scratch and dent cover, 45 bucks if we want stuff fixed regardless of cost (through aami)...

manual is not afm ! salesman in the dealers dont know new year from new york ! ( this was series 1 though few weeks ago ! ) the auto in the holden is crapola ! the manual is the same as the ford and thats a good drive ! manual v8 is horn ! if you want fuel economy or for town driving, buy a...

ok, update ! car i viewed was in perfect new condition....here is my new ride.....just please, dont hate me ! :D

hehe ! not bad troops ! was expecting the " hope it shits itself or, ya turncoat mutineer ! :D.... we'll see ! either way, we are both pissed off with the carry on and want it done with ! and if the holden dealer had screwed the nut, we would be in an SS by now ! oh well....we'll see !

well ! its been a **** fight for the dealers as i shopped about and it turns out theres one silver manual in QLD and none more country wide for sale according to CRC ford australia ! the dealer who has it got wind of us by way of 3 other local to us dealers trying to swap it out from them ! :D...

sedan.... its all hanging on a phonecall tomorrow ! finance is all set and just awaiting availability so by tomorrow i'll be the owner of a 50th anniversary xr6t manual in silver (2 in QLD) or a VE SS manual in black.......sick of dealers not stepping up to the plate.. i mean, they dont have to...

hmm i used to have a car that had a coolant smell but no leaks... weird as hell but possible spilt some and heat is making it travel into the cabin.. worth checking levels..

nice pics ! you are obviously very "into" your photography and cars at that... very nice pics and i do prefer the front on shot that isnt lit up as much.... lovely ! keep up the good work and as for doing this for free, i fail to see how anyone couldn't be happy with those ! :)

well well ! the hits just a keep on comin' !!!! remserv bloke just off the phone.. i was telling him about our(my :D) swithering and considering a 50th anny xr6t as well as the SS ! he said and i quote " i can get you a new 2011 manual SS in any colour with touch screen stuff (didnt know...

worth a quick look.... used to work on lots of bmw's and they had this issue.... was caused by weak diff mount rubbers on rear axle...have a look and see if they're similar....

hmmmm forgive me if i sound like an old twat but that behaviour (unless you are on acreage and far from neighbours) is just bloody stupid.... not having a go but what the #### did you expect your neighbour to do ? listen to you melting yer tyres and clouding up the sky with smoke ?? the fact...

yeah i am not 100% ... we'll see what happens ! it will defo make me decide which camp to pitch my tent in so to speak ! just totally unimpressed with the local holden dealership and as i have a ford dealer within 5k's of home too, its gotta be an option to be treated well as a customer post buy !

hmm its gonna be hard but i am getting impatient.... we were going to hold off due to saving for a mortgage but i am sick of driving an old ef wagon ! looks, the VE has it , performance, mate who is a traffic cop and drives both says the xr6t is an absolute hooligan ! so i need to try both...

the one i drove had 40klms on it and had trade plates stuck on it for that run... no rego plates at all... as new ! going to drop a bombshell here though.... after we cancelled our deposit on the VE-SS , i want to take out a XR6T manual for a blast..... i feel its only right to compare the...

we took out an auto SS and did i flog it ? well, not really...sure i planted it from a roundabout to see what the grunt was like but other than that, i just wanted to get a feel for it and see how it drove...can't see the salesman letting you absolutely rape the thing ! but hey, you never know....

was brand new,not demo as no manuals in demo or otherwise , manual SS saloon in black. caboolture holden (beechams) have a black manual SSV for 47K... just too much !
