Yes sorry, replacing the factory fitted Potenza 245/40/19

ITEM: I am regretfully having to sell my much loved SSV ute with 'Sandman' canopy. I have had it since new and have taken excellent care of it both cosmetically and mechanically. I spent over $7000 on extras through the dealer on this one making it rather unique vehicle. It's essential the...

Hi, I am selling my SSV sandman van and I need to get 4 new tyres. I am debating how much to spend on a set as I am selling and dont really want to put top of the line tyres on it. I'f i was keeping it I would pay about $280 a wheel but I've had some quotes for a heap of brands I havent heard...

Thanks guys, I am waiting on a reply from a Holden Engineer mate who is asking the IQ guys. Will keep you posted

Oh, it turns out that the IQ head units in sedans and utes are the same with the utes fader being disabled in the security settings. One Holden dealer service manager tells me that as the IQ unit is configured to the VIN and the VIN contains details that its a ute they could not enable this...

Can anyone recommend a car audio mob that can activate my Series II IQ rear fader and wire in my rear 6x9s in Melb?

Yeah ring around for sure. I got a quote for $360 for my SS 15000k service then rang a closer dealer who quoted me $420! I asked why so much and they said the oil alone is around $200! -they matched my initial $360 quote though.

Sandman Canopy Hey man, the Sandman styled ones are made by AMCAT in Melbourne and are only fitted in Melbourne unfortunately. So you will only find second hand ones kicking about in car yards or carsales.com.au etc unless you bring one in from interstate. I think they are trying to...

Must need the chip in the proper key to turn off the alarm. Makes sense I guess but a pain in the butt for your situation.

Hi, I'd like to add some of the nice little extras that the top end Caprice's have. Can anyone who owns one tell me what you get on the V series? I.e puddle lights under the doors etc...

I don't think i have LSD on my auto SSV ute. - well It says standard on manual only and no one can tell me if its fitted on my auto.

My dealer fitted my lower springs. Can I put it back on them as they didn't say anything?!

Hi tried my local dealer for this too. They said its not listed in their parts database yet and to try next month as it should be in soon. I guess that makes sense since its only just come out.

I bought an auto (SSV ute) because I sit in peak hour traffic for an hour or so a day and didn't want the clutch in clutch out repeat all the way in etc. Still about twice a week I wish i had of got the manual - for the fun.

I need a cat back system on mine also as you can barely hear it running until you boot it. I was just going to go to JHP and get a Xforce 2.5" in mild steel as its under $1k installed. The guy said unless you planning on towing a boat you shouldn't need stainless as the salt water will kill the...

Dont know why those idiots even bother! I sold my brand new VE tonneau on ebay and got like $100 for it! Hardly seems worth the trouble

Went to the Victorian State Panel Van Titles and got 10th top Van 2011. Score! haha

thats mate. There is two Ns in Millennium. I checked the dictionary before I registered the domain name :)

Nothing yet, been trying to catch up with other owners for ideas for the back. Def will put in 6x9s in the rear and take the window out. I HAVE to upgrade the exhaust and/or add a power pack or something, can't even hear it idling haha

Does the IQ play DVD standard or did you need to upgrade when ordering?

I looked at this for my 2011 S2 ute with canopy. cheapest option I found was go to a boat window mob that make custom sized windows. they do sliding glass panels and fold out/up ones too. Cheapest was about $350 to have the window made. Also looked at the 'dream' fit out of a power window with...

I think you can adjust the output of the subs down on the amp. I believe it is down behind the seat near the battery.

Haha yeah sure, too bad its bonded on the the car otherwise you might have had me there! Yeah, I plan to pop out the window or get a custom made sliding window so I can reach/crawl thru from the back to the front etc. Since the subs behind the seats pack enough bottom end for me with the...

Taken from my website http://www.millenniumvans.com

Hey, no shots of the inside as yet, will have to get onto that. The Canopy comes carpet lined and I plan to either carpet line the tubliner or take it out, add sound proofing to the floor and carpet the tray. I am also getting some 6x9s put in the back which will be hooked up to the IQ unit...

I'm actually starting a site for these V series Sandmans. www.millenniumvans.com Will make a post when I launch the site next month.

I also realize the irony that I added a non-factory canopy on my ute and comment that I like the stock look haha

They should make a small 'powered by Chevrolet' badge or something. That's kinda a compromise. Personally, I still wouldn't get one. I like the stock look.

So the schematics are in, only the Calais and Caprice loom is ready for plug and play... You would need to run a wire from the BCM (Body Control Module) connector location J5-5 to each of the mirrors (I think difficult part is getting from body into door and up to mirror). I have confirmed...

Yeah I guess they didnt really help with that answer, I will call around at Holden and see if i can get an answer on the loom.

Hi, anyone know if the SSV ute wiring loom will support side mirrors with a clearance light? Would like to add these to my ute as i assume the illuminate with they approach lights etc. VE MIRROR ASEMBELY RH (WITH CLEARANCE LIGHT)

No performance mods planned as such, have pre-wired under the tub liner for a full van deck out though.

Yeah was a bit of a chance with the colour, since there are only a few around (I've never seen a VE one on the road) and Karma is a bit of an old man colour on the Calais and stuff. Very happy how it turned out though, think the subtle colour tones it down a little. Thanks for all your...

Hey all, just upgraded my 2009 SV6 Sportwagon to this SSV SII beast the other day. I wanted the extra space in the back for carting gear and camping etc, also miss having a real panel van but am way to used to modern cars with all the mod cons. Specs: Stock 2011 VE SII SSV ute in Karma...
