    VE Berlina 2100kg Tow Package Question - URGENT

    According to the quote from Airstrike, the 2100kg kit contains an "Equaliser Hitch" that must be used if the weight to be towed is more than 1600kg. Based on that, i'm guessing that the equaliser hitch is removeable and that the only difference between the two kits is that the 2100kg kit...

    VE Berlina 2100kg Tow Package Question - URGENT

    Yep, my thoughts exactly. I'm not overly worried about that as I am still pretty happy with the car, and think the price is not too bad. All I want from the dealer is that the correct tow hitch they have promised be installed when I go to pick up the car. So what you are saying is that on the...

    VE Berlina 2100kg Tow Package Question - URGENT

    Hi All, Sorry for this being a bit of a novel, but I really appreciate everyone's time for reading and advice they can give. If your in a rush skip to the second last paragraph. I have just signed to the purchase of a new 06 VE Berlina and I am getting screwed around by the dealership...

    Blaupunkt finally listen!

    Just reading up on some info of the new VE (personally I think holden have done a great job) and it seems that the stereo manufacturer, Blaupunkt, have finally listened to the general public and included an AUX input on the VE. The pic below is from the SS-V so i'm not sure if this inclusion...

    Reverse parking sensors

    Yes and BMW's. I believe the BMW's (not sure about the calais) use a push button to activate the front ones.

    Reverse parking sensors

    Will holden fit them, for a price? EDIT: To a ute that is.

    New 2006 VZ SS 6.0Lt or VE SS - which would you buy?

    A bit OT, but does anyone know if the "extra's" (i.e. the brakes, exhaust and wheels) are on the Ute as well, or just the sedan? Also if DoD and VVT mean that much, i'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to do an upgrade later on down the track.

    HBD Brakes

    My thought's too. I'm sure there are plently of SV6, S and probably some normal V6 drivers who would like to stop quicker as well. But at the end of the day, i'm sure the kit isn't anything that you couldn't do with aftermarket parts (probably for cheaper too), but the obvious downside is the...

    HBD Brakes

    Just having a bit of a flick around the holden site and noticed HBD have a "performance brake" package (by PBR) available now. Anyone know what this package consists of, how much is it and would it be worth fitting as a factory option or would you be better off spending money afermarket?

    VZ Series 2

    On the way to work today I saw what looked to me, a VZ Series 2 Berlina Sedan. From the quick glance I had as it went past, it seemed exactly the same as a series 1 VZ, yet had the little "Series 2" badge below the "Berlina" badge on the bootlid. Can anyone confirm that Holden has in fact...

    Anyone wand to get rid of a VY/VZ Headunit

    Stripping the cuts out leaving the shell and installing parts of the car pc in the shell. Basically so it can be removed with ease and still look stock (well as stock is a can with a touchscreen in the dash).

    New HOLDEN 6.0L V8 from 1 Jan 2006!

    Unfortunately I want a Ute, and I don't really feel like waiting upto an aditional 2 years AFTER the release of VE! Hell If I buy one now it'll probably be ready to sell by the time the VE ute hits the market.

    Black SS with blue leather

    Hmmm, does sound like a good deal, I can see why you thought it would be too good to be true. Unfortunately I'm in Perth, so I need something in WA at least.

    After market VZ SS Sunroof

    They "shouldn't" just give you random overinflated price as they will have set pricing for each component and it will be the same price (bar the general market fluctuations which will be minimal) when you purchase your car new or take it back 6 months later. Obviously you will need to pay for...

    New HOLDEN 6.0L V8 from 1 Jan 2006!

    Sorry for digging up an old thread, but I didn't really think this warranted a new one. What will holden be doing with the current gen 3 V8's come Jan 1? Due to the Euro 3 emissions will it be illegal for them to be sold as new vehicles (highly unlikely) or are they still allowed to clear the...

    Black SS with blue leather

    So were these on new astra's, or do you own two? I just read your post on the employee pricing deal that's on at the moment, after reading that i'm guessing you work for holden? I'm curious as I will be purchasing a Black SS ute in jan/feb next year and wondered if it would be possible to...

    Black SS with blue leather

    Black SS with Blue Leather/Interior HI All, I was thinking earlier today that black and blue is such a great combination, but when you buy a black SS and you want a colour leather, you get lumped with red! Has anyone asked the dealer if they could get a black car with the blue...

    Anyone wand to get rid of a VY/VZ Headunit

    Thanks for the reply kmbattle. I'm not in any rush at the moment, it would probably actually suit me to wait about a month as don't really need it until feb 06. So yeah, pm me if you want to get rid of it in a month or so.

    ... And now, Blaupunkt Aux Input! (VY/VZ)

    OK, sign me up then Phreddy... How hard are the components to obtain or are you selling complete assembled/unassembled kits? My preferred way would just be to purchase the pcb layout diagrams, the schematics and component lists then I get the fun of building it :yeah:

    Anyone wand to get rid of a VY/VZ Headunit

    Hi All, I'm chasing a stock VY/VZ headunit for a car PC mod. Does anyone have one of these they want to get rid of. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work as the internals will be binned anyway, but the only pre-req I have is that the face is in good condition as I want to cast a mould of it.

    ... And now, Blaupunkt Aux Input! (VY/VZ)

    I'm very interested in this. Just out of curiousity, how have you done it? I originally did the phone input trick, worked ok but sounded **** so I binned that idea. Then i went to the audio injection trick from the ls1gto forums (http://www.thelug.com/radio/gtoradio.html) which works a...

    Chasing a stock VY/VZ headunit

    Hi All, I'm chasing a VY/VZ head unit to butcher for a car PC project. I want it cheap and as it is going to be stripped, I don't really care if it works (electronically) or not. The face plate must be in good condition thou as I want to cast a mould off it. Anyone have an idea what a...

    Redbook....?

    How many times have you spoken to a dealer about the value of a car and all they do is log into redbook. That alone tell's you it's 100% dealer/insurance focused and IMHO, it's a right crock of **** for the average joe.

    VZ Series 2 or not?

    And there is also word that the VE won't appear in Ute or Station wagon form until over 12 months after the release of the sedan (not sure how acurate the info is thou). I can't see that holden would just forget about those model's during the period of the VE release and the station wagon/ute...

    VZ Series 2 or not?

    With the talk of the VE floating around, release nearing closer, and holden all but saying that the ute/wagon will be a fair while after the launch of the sedan, will we see the LS2 in a VZ SS series 2 Ute? I'm guessing Holden have something up their sleeve's that will make the current VZ...

    25% Off Entire Range

    It's been advertised on TV a few times. Holden_Mechanic has said that it's only available on base model's. So does that mean only the Exec from the Commodore range? I'm guessing that wouldn't cover an SS ute as it's not a base model. But it is good to know that it is a 21% discount, so...
