Heya Murdoch, I'll take you up on the offer Not sure what you mean by the flange join. Im in Adelaide so can get to the Hills no worries.

I've PM'd you

Thanks Cuda shall look into them

Im looking for a set of quad tips for my VF Calais V6. Anyone have any experience with the Rhino 2.5" Bolt on Muffler? or even any straight through pipes for that matter? Im concerned on a V6 they will have a lot of drone and be annoying. Here is a link...

I have the option and still cant get the lines, ive a MY14 Calais

Brenno, When I change from windscreen to head it still clicks. Is this meant to be a fix or confirm the problem?

Thanks, I'll give that a go and report back :) Cheers for the post.

*Bump* Can anyone atleast steer me in the right direction on how to take the top of the dash apart so I can see whats going on in there?

Ive searched other threads and while this seems to be a common problem, I cant seem to find a definitive fix for the issue. Ive got a Calais V and when I start the car up I get around 19 clicks coming from the top of the centre dash. So basically above the head unit and where the vents are...

Im pretty sure Ive sensed a slight burning smell come from under the dash area. How would I take the dash apart to have a look at wiring. Not that I know what to look for as such.

Ive just checked the fuses out, Theres none in the passenger side footwell and looked back at the main fuses under the bonnet. Theres a fuse for left and right low beam light F10 & F12 from memory. They are both fine. I rechecked the Relay, I pulled it out and its not making any sort of rattle...

I had a look today, There's no fuse I take it for the headlights and only the relay? How do I tell if the relay is faulty? There isnt another relay of the same type to swap it with to test.

I'll check that out during the day. Id better familiarise myself with where they all are on the VE lol

Today I had a weird fault occur with my calais. The lights whether they turn on auto or I select it manually. The headlights wont turn on. Every other lighting function works ie Fog/park/beam and tail lights. Both front head lights wont turn on so I imagine its an electrical problem. Im...

Personally as with the majority here that Alpine unit looks crap. That other one, I think llc looks real good. I wonder how it goes intergrating all the controls though, ie forward and rear parking sensors as well. To me having a H/U in the glovebox is a no go. Ive the Calais V and feature wise...

Wow that looks nice, I love the VE's :)

Ive pretty much made up my mind, SSL springs with GT short stroke. I can get the shocks hell cheap direct from factory so cost isnt the issue. As my car has done 100k im looking at replacing the shocks regardless, just wasnt sure which to go for the smoother ride. My lowered VS is shocking for...

Wow that looks nice. I love the red on the rims, really makes it standout

Would standard shocks be firmer or GT short stroke? I read that the GT shocks are designed to be more comfortable and softer when using lowering springs.

Cheers thanks heaps, That looks good. Ive a V6. I'm going to get the GT short stroke shocks rather than keep standard I think. For comfort tho is that the wrong move to make?

Yeah ive just got a VE and moved on from my VS. The VS I had lowered with Pedders springs and that was shocking, go over a lot of bumps and the wipers would turn on. I dont want a super rough ride. Im guessing my VS would be equivalent to SSSL which is why Im looking on the VE to maybe not go...

I wonder if you can just use a cleaning solution to atleast blend it and make it uniform. Ie scrub the whole screen completely. I think there would be another way to fix it however and im only taking a punt at this. With people that scratch windows and totally trash them, you can get a plastic...

I've been trying to find photos of VE's that have been lowered in varying configurations. I cant seem to find any, ie im about to lower my calais and thinking about SSL front and rear but id love to see what it looks like. It currently has FE2's and theres approx a 60mm gap from tyre to...

SSSL Rears I take it you meant? Do you have pics? Id love to see what SSL all round looks like as well as SSSL Rear/SSL Front. Also the difference in handling and ride.

**VEHICLE SOLD** Mods please delete

Ive got a Sedan. To be honest im thinking of going SSL all round with the same model shocks. Im just getting rid of a VS that ive lowered pretty low and although I like to drive it, its not that smooth for passengers. Also the bumpy ride has made steering rack, etc fall apart too frequently.

Oh cool, Are you sure theyre the SSSL and not SSL? As ive heard with SSSL aka Ultra Low, you need to get a shorter stroke shock. Also there is no lower than SSSL from what I understand. Have any pics?

Ive been reading the forums and the listed threads are confusing with all the banter. I have a Calais V which already has the FE2 springs. Im thinking of lowering it with King Springs SL = Super Low (Equivalent lowering to FE2) SSL = Super Super Low SSSL = Ultra Low So im thinking of...

Ok I just got my Calais and loving it :) Ive a couple questions on suspension and audio. Its got the FE2 springs now, if I was to put the King SSL springs on, how much lower would it go? Also how much rougher would the ride be if I keep the same shocks etc. I just want to close the gap between...

Cheers many thanks for the heads up :)

Im travelling interstate to pickup a VE Calais V, (not series 2) and although its got the 6 stacker, does this unit play MP3 files or only CD audio type?? I'd love to know so then I can pack some MP3's on CD. Cheers :)

Wow nice, I take it the car isnt lowered? I plan on getting King SSL's

Cheers, With 19s, I thought I heard somewhere that 20s are cheaper due to being a more common size. Not sure if thats true. What type of catback seems to be the go for a V6? from what ive seen, Xforce seems to be the better and I can only tell from the utube clips.

Hi, Im in the process of finally getting a VE Calais. Picking it up from Vic later this week. Im keen to get some mods on it and straight away I will need to put new tyres on. Whats the cheapest tyre size out of 19" and 20"? At the moment the Calais has 17s but I want to go 19 or 20, 18 if...

Ok, for anyone interested. I changed over the Oxygen sensors yesterday (both). So far so good as far as engine running goes. I havent notice any weird idles like it used to occasionally and also acceleration is normal. However it may be too early to tell as alot of the issues were also...

Damn, we'll see how it goes then. Thanks for the feedback

Ok, I finally feel im making progress. After swapping the O2 sensors over, Ive now got new error codes. Code 44 - RH Oxygen Sensor Lean (O2) Code 76 - Air/Fuel ratio variation between left and right banks So ive just ordered 2 x O2 sensors 2x NEW Holden VS VT VX VY VZ VE LS1/2/3...

Ive just changed over my o2 sensors and by that I mean i swapped left over to right and vice versa. The left hand one (the one indicating the error) was black in colour and the other was white. I went for a test drive for a few k's and the engine light didnt come on. The fuel economy changed...

I wondered about that, This may sound silly, how do I disable it temporarily so as to check if it fixes the issues. ie without cutting the pink wire.

On my VS, Ive been having issues with it running rough and stalling. On checking the codes I originally got a Code 47 (CAS) I replaced the CAS (which was a bitch to do unfortunately) and to my amazement the orange light came on again as soon as I drove the car again. The car is still running...
