Hi. Got a stock standard 2010 VE Berlina with full leather and navigation system. Car is perfect in every way except the navigation system. Very slow to load, pushing buttons sometimes doesn't do anything, and it leaves turning lanes to the very last minute. I've installed a ga.in on the...

Hi, My rear shockers are beginning to weep and need replacing. I am located in Ringwood Nth and was wondering if anyone can recommend a good place. I have seen Pedders and Shockworks but I have never used them. Anyone recommend or not recommend them or anyone else. Roughly what sort of cost...

Hi. VE 2010 Berlina. I find the built in gps slow to load up and also the directions it gives leaves virtually no time to change lanes.

Hi. Regularly forgetting to turn my headlights off and as a result have a flat battery. Getting embarrassing asking the RACV to come not to mention the time delays. What should I look for in a portable pack. So many out there it gets confusing. Would appreciate any help. Battery is in good...

Looking to buy one. Are the specs the same as a SS. Brakes....are they Brembro. Anything I should look for even though it has been properly serviced. Around 130ks on the clock. What should be a fair price. Thanks in advance

Thanks Kim, Got your msg. Might be a couple of months until I sell the MG. Will contact you then. Cheers. Gerry

Thanks, sorry I don't know how to PM you, not really savvy on this site. Where are you located? I'm in Ringwood Nth. Cheers. Gerry

Thanks for your insights. I have to sell my 1969 MGB first to fund it. The MG is only club rego and only goes out on good weather, but it is getting harder to get in with my two artificial knees and my VY Berlina is getting long in the tooth, so doing some research first. Thanks once again...

Hi, Considering changing from my VY Berlina, ( a bit long in the tooth now) to either a VE or VF SV6 or Calais..(I don't think they came in a Berlina) Anyway, besides the obvious and service history, anything in particular that I should be looking for. Ideally a car around 100K's on the clock or...

Having problem with the direction sensor for the AC/Heater. They both work fine BUT it ALWAYS directs it to the windscreen no matter which one I push. Holden dealer said they would have to remove the whole dash to fix it...$800- plus. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Try BERTLEX in Bayswater, that's where I got mine done and it works perfectly now

Will be looking at replacing my VY in the next few months. Not sure what to get as I also drive a 1969 MGB, which will also be sold. Back and knee issues make it difficult to get in and out of the MGB. Wanted something a bit sporty but not modified. Pretty much stock standard. Would like a...

Thanks, will do

yes, the same code existed. Then put in a new DFI module as that was the second possibility, he did say they were on the same "circuit". Still appeared after the new DFI module went in. Now to check the wiring loom......any other suggestions. Any help appreciated, THANKS in advance for any...

Sorry, I may have forgotten to mention, he did check for fault codes via a scanner and it did suggest a CAS. However he did suggest while in all probability it was a CAS it could also be a DFI module as they were on the same circuit. However it is neither, hence the question. Thanks

Approx 2 weeks ago had problems starting the car. Intermittent only. Cranks several times, then fires up after 2-3 mins, car runs on both petrol & gas and tried both options. "Check Engine" light comes on. Mechanic scans it and says Cranks Angle sensor, which he says is quite common in...
