Holden Commodore Limited Edition models

Hey Monstar, The only Company selling E85 on the Sunshine Coast is United. Caltex does not support the product up here sadly. If we could buy E85 for $0.60c a litre we would all use it.
Cheers Mate.

No mention of E85 on their website.

 

E85 is an American term, been shot down and bastardised by big oil. Here United chose to call their high ethanol blend same as US, but their blend is always 85%. Caltex chose a more appropriate name, eFlex, blend is 70%-85% according to season (some other cars won’t start near 85% in winter).
Is at Alexandra Hills, Mackenzie just over the gateway Old Cleveland Road, at Miramac on Pacific Highway Gold Coast. Also a couple near Ipswich, Redbank Plains, Goodna, A couple of others along the way to the Gold Coast ..

 

For caltex Eflex fuel locations use this site and put your postcose and make sure you tick the eflex box

Thanks, no Eflex sites north of Capalaba sadly.

 

Today after driving down the Macquarie Pass my MSE displayed an MRC error code. I even did not have the opportunity to use the MRC as I was behind a bl**dy caravan and we went down the Pass slowly. I popped into the local Holden dealer service dept who advised me that as the error code disappeared when I restarted the car, it was not a hard code and nothing to worry about. I rang my dealer who I bought the MSE and who service my other VF and they advised that they had not seen this error not even on an HSV. Has anyone seen this error. I note that the car seems to operate as per normal.

 

My Magnum came up with 'service ESP' message while I was parked in the driveway. Cycled the ignition, and it disappeared.

Mentioned it to the dealer when it had the 1000k check, they scanned it, but couldn't find any problems.

 

Hi zappaboy, I had the exact same message come up two weeks ago. Coincidentally, i was also at the 3,000km mark. It went away when I restarted the car and I have done a few trips since and yet to see it appear again. Having a quick read it seems to be discussed a lot on American forums with chevs but unless it comes up again, i won't waste my time at the dealer.

 

Not had this one, but had my seat memory function fail to work (kept moving to fully back and down when trying to set a position). The dealer gave it go, and it worked for him, of course. But, it's been working for me too, ever since! (Same procedure pre and post...I didn't misread the manual etc).
Regarding engine warnings etc, my FGX Falcon has thrown up a few alerts and limps, only to be cured by an engine restart....clearly a software issue. Dealer scanned it, no problem found, of course; one suspects the Commodores are going to do similar things. How I long for the days when you could buy a new HQ 350 off the floor - no electronics, no computers, no worries.

 

I noticed an ad in Carsales for a "very very rare" black Motorsport. Now that production is complete, does anyone have or heard of the actual production figures and options breakdown?
Super Coach, if you're out there, I'll bet if anyone knows it's you, mate.

 

Hi did you end up getting the car cover ?
I got one $880 they charged and I thought they were suppose to be embroided with your choice of lettering but just got mine and it's a cheap looking iron on lettering ???
Not happy !!!

 

Hi ProfMopar,
These numbers are off the Motorsport Facebook page without options. I'd be equally as interested on how many SS's and Redlines were made this year.


634 Manuals/715 Autos



White 160 manuals / 204 autos

Black 63 manuals / 86 autos

Silver 27 manuals / 43 autos

Grey 84 manuals / 109 autos

Green 77 manuals / 62 autos

Red 223 manuals / 211 autos


And the 2 extra cars are the red and white media launch cars.

 

.

I think that the numbers include the NZ deliveries

 

Found 2 directors at local dealer, thought they were sold out????

spoke to a dealer today that has a director for $79k and motor sports, main reason he said for extra stock , people got tired of waiting for there cars, overtime things changed money matters ect so they have left over stock

 

Thanks for that, gla. So the black MSEs are uncommon, but not "very very rare". Just like with the FGX XR8s, the silver manuals are the rarest.
Of course, in the old days, the Holden General Manager would have ordered for himself a LMF manual MSE with factory-fitted 340kW....

 

Are you sure these were two extra cars?
