Holden Commodore Limited Edition models

Makes sense , must have big fingers like me to do it twice , feeling really stupid tonight , what’s a qwerty keyboard ?

 

Look down at your keyboard. Top line of alphabetic keys from left to right. There are different layouts but the most common is a qwerty.

 

Gotcha , thanks for that

 

Very clever , that’s what my iPad says

 

I have noticed that the HUD in my MSE shakes and wobbles as I drive and so does the bonnet which has been reported in other posts. Does anyone else's LE experience the HUD issues and how was the shaky bonnet issue solved. I have checked my series 1 Calais V wagon does not experience the wobbly HUD or shaky bonnet. Also in the same conditions I have noticed that the MSE skips and literally jumps sideways a fraction on some corners even in touring mode on the MRC where the calais V just goes around the same wide gentle sweeping bend which is pot holed and patched. In this regard I find the MSE in these conditions disconcerting and a little unsafe. The road conditions I am using vary from a country A grade to a B grade road in country NSW and the road at all times has the white lines at the road edge so it is a relatively high standard all the way.

 

Fat fingers or auto correct sog

 

Check the tire pressures, maybe too high at rear. If normal, check or have checked the MRC system; in my MSE the touring setting is very compliant (soft).

 

Received the dreaded Holden letter today re potentially faulty inlet rocker arms. So far no failures on my engine. Nonetheless, I'm booked in for the free fix (and the free 15,000km service that Holden are throwing in in goodwill).
Someone here mentioned the faulty rocker arms some time back, and I pooh poohed the idea. To the author: I apologise for my prejudicial comment; you were right.

 

On an unrelated, and happier, topic, my kids (and I) are convinced the exhaust note on the MSE is louder and better when the MRC is set to "Performance" or "Track" than "Touring" or "Sport" even though the owners manual implies that the the exhaust setting is the same in all the settings except "Touring".
Has anyone else noticed this?

 

G'day Hemi-son and Mr Norris. I've been away for a while. I look forward to hearing about the results of any modifications you chaps (and all the other folks here) may perform. There is a strong chance I will be hotting up the MSE once we have about 10 megametres on the clock, and after the (now free) 9-month service. Induction, exhaust, valve timing, ignition timing, and fuel/air ratio are the areas likely to receive attention. I'll be sure to provide detailed data, both subjective and objective, once the "hotting up" is completed. I'd love to increase the displacement too.....maybe later. I figure the LE MY17 Holdens should have come out with enough ponies to pull mid-twelves, thereby taking the crown from Ford re the quickest factory, regular production line (non-HSV/FPV) Australian cars ever built. For the record, the title holder seems to be a manual FGX XR8 (12.7sec 0-400m in Motor magazine), a better time than either of the Sprints could muster, and clearly way ahead of any factory Holdens.

 

Sounds best when you remove the relay!

 

They now have 31 redlines WTF..

And 1 director

 

6 MSEs at one dealer

Yep I've noticed this. I don't think its louder but it seems to give more pops and crackles in performance vs sport.

 

and the dealerships are still charging over $70k for the MSE's...when they should sell for no more the $67k drive away.

 

Holden said it couldn't be done.

I now have a full sized spare under the Magnum's big arse.

 

Hey, that's cool! Well done, son.

 

Details on how you did it mate? My brother is wanting to do the same on his Redline.

 

I just swapped everything over from my Maloo to the Magnum.
Had to make 5 rubber bumper pads to glue to the underfloor of the Magnum, where the spare wheel seats against.
Once that was done, it only takes 15 minutes to swap everything between utes.
With the Magnum at standard height, the spare can be slid out from underneath, where the Maloo needs to be jacked up to slide the spare out.

If anyone else wants to do this, I can confirm that an E3 Maloo wheel tub, winch and jack pack will work.

 

Cheers
