    Your VE- What problems have you had

    Lucky me, just received a call saying it will be sorted under warranty, 2nd one with similar problems in the last couple of years and they said they could see that the car has not been flogged. Better buy a lottery ticket. :)

    Your VE- What problems have you had

    Had the door switch problem as well, had to trip it manually until fixed, problem there is sometimes couldn't close the door due to switch locking it, took some fiddling.

    VE Throttle Body : Warning Codes?

    Yeah, it was an air flow meter that was the problem, should have it back tomorrow. I'm a Holden man thru and thru so I wont be losing any confidence over it. When I bought my first new car in 1990, an Atlas Grey VN SS, it too spent many a trip on the back of a truck to the dealer. The engine...
