    That Front End Clunk

    yeah i used to get some kinda clunk/creaking noise in the front when turning sharply to the right (05 VZ ute) then a week ago i tried to get a wheel alignment done but the bushes were buggered, so i took it to holden and they said the bushes were buggered coz the control arm was bent, and...

    hi all, did anyone take some snaps from the VE ute launches goin around the country. I went to the brissy one last night but i dont have a camera. oh, and any pics of VE maloo's will be greatly drooled over. My bank balance is hoping that they dont put a sandman canopy on the VE ute...

    XBOX 360 freezing up mid-game

    mine used to do that. Its a cooling issue. Xbox 360s run really hot. The new black 360s have a different chip in them so they're not so bad, but the white ones do have this issue. Go to JB HIFI and pick yourself up one of those fan things that sit on the back of the xbox. it has 3 fans in...

    VE Ute Pics

    i haven't seen these pics on j/c yet. i got them from utez.com.au who i'm sure got them from somewhere else before you say it, the fuel filler isn't on the left. Look closer, its the RH panel, viewed from the inside. ;)

    VE Ute Pics

    :D can't wait to see the finished product. how bad did the sedan look in camo, it got a tad better when the finished product was released, but the next upgrade should finish it off nicely. (remember the VT/VU... how much better was the VY...) I rekon it just looks like the tray is small...

    Clunk from diff or tranny on slow take off

    i get it in mine, taken it in to 2 different dealers on a few occasions, they keep saying that its normal. But sometimes when decelerating it would bang pretty loudly, but only on long trips. its a kind of a clunk when drive is engaged, like you can be idling along at 40k's and when you touch...

    strut brace

    yep i got one. I like it. with the weight i carry around in the back (and the drivers seat) she tended to get a bit of body roll around tight corners and occasionally a front wheel would loose a bit of traction when playing silly buggers coming through small roundabouts. with the strut...

    calias chrome mould

    ok i got mine yesterday and fitted it last night. Cost was just shy of $150 all up using those part codes supplied. Was a little tricky installing it. Its got this little bump thing that pokes into the bonnet. Freaked me out that it'd damage my bonnet so I filed it back flat with the...

    vz ute traction problems

    ya mum's got axle tramp! haha yeah sorry i know i've got a problem, i'm trying to cut back. Anyways on topic; I think the bushes idea is a good one, but a cheaper one is to not hammer it so hard so often, your not only killin tyres but you'll blow yer diff soon enough. But on the flip...

    calias chrome mould

    mate you gotta get the lower grill fitted to that. Mine didn't have one either, i went into holden and ordered one from an SV6. it fits straight in. There's a thread or 2 explaining how to fit it yourself, or you can be lazy like me and get holden to do it for they're ridiculously...

    Removal of centre Grille

    how did you go with this Ronaldw? I've thought about removing this grill and just having the mesh and a silver bar going accross, no Holden symbol, its freaking huge anyway.

    Funny rattles...and an exhaust

    i think you should ask to pay the difference to get a v8 zorst bolted on! :D have you got an alloytech S pack, or an ecotech? coz i've heard the v8 zorsts will bolt straight onto an alloytech. i dunno about the eco's

    Brakes! Not happy with em'

    I haven't done alot of dirt/gravel driving, but not long after I picked up my VZ ute i found a straight bit of fairly new bitument and bottomed out the brake pedal at about 70km/h and the ABS didn't even seem to kick in. She just stopped, no questions asked. I'll let you (or my insurance...

    missing engine bolt?

    yeh mate, i stressed about it at first. But the alloytechs seem to only have 5 bolts where it looks like 6 should be. Looks weird, but they all look weird. at the end of the day they still look better than the old alloytech 6's. hehehe

    Reverse camera /monitor

    Hey thanks Dover they're some good links. i'm now considering throwing a 7 inch LCD touch-screen onto one of those mounts between the dials and the centre air con. it might cover up one of the vents, but she'll be right.

    VE Ute!

    *JOY* true an option of a split tub or tray would be nice (like the 1-tonner) and they did look real good, but i suppose they cannot support another variant of ute when the powers that be see the rodeo as holden's tray-back ute. a VE one-tonner with a wooden flat tray would look HOT!:w00t:

    VE Ute!

    hrm... i'd be surprised and dissapointed if they did this. This is one reason why alot of people buy a holden ute instead of a ford. I rekon the split trays spoilt alot of ford utez that would otherwise look good. Like this yellow one, looks pretty good i rekon, but would look better...

    VE Ute!

    yeah i've seen photos of VZ Utez where on just the right angle the tray looks heaps small like that. And they've already said that the tray is only going to be a tiny bit smaller to allow for more room behind the seats. Can't wait for some official photos to come out. Might have to consider...

    VZ Ute Exhaust (V6)

    I dunno about fuel economy... but does it make it sound better? less like a 4cyc? And how many $$'s are we talking here?

    Ask The Copper

    Hi, In Brisbane (i'm sure they're all over the country) we've got a few of those T3 lanes getting around where you can only drive in it if you've got 3 or more people in your car. Well what if you've got 2 people in a 2 seater vehicle. Then can you legally drive in a T3?
