Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
Hey, thanks for that 3rspecB. As an owner of a Nitrate MSE with the big spoiler, I ordered one of these for the mantlepiece.
Only option on motorsport was a choice of manual or auto and a factory fit spoiler. There was also an option of an embroidered car cover (with your name and build number on it). Other than these things, there was a RPO code that dealers used to remind them not to prepare the car (keep stickers, plastic covering etc on the vehicle but the buggers still charge you dealer delivery
) All other things were simply accessories you could get from the dealer post purchase.Presumably you have gone back to the selling dealer as they have primary responsability with respect to your statutory warranty under ACL.
thanks very much for your reply, very helpful and now have a bit more info I can use to try and get these issues fixed. I was definitely not happy with the initial answers I was getting and that's why I have taken up with Holden directly. If Im lucky enough to get this all sorted I will definitely let you all know what the outcome was. Thanks very much for your helpPresumably you have gone back to the selling dealer as they have primary responsability with respect to your statutory warranty under ACL.
No doubt the 20" rims, low profile tyres and stiffened up MRC shocks in Sports mode combine to make the ride less than compliant but the car shouldn't rattle, squeek or grind. Having such noises would be a concern to me. Does it make such noise in touring mode?
Sadly, it could simply be an example of poor quality build or possibly an MRC shock issue or any one of the issues outlined in the threads on the VF forum. 1st thing I'd do is try some silicon under the exterior windscreen top seal and on the door seals, maybe wrap the striker in a turn or two of electricians tape, read this thread for details. Then go for a drive and see what noises are made, if any, hopefully it will be quiet and that should be the end of it.
But whatever you do don't accept such a poor answer from the dealer. They must sort out your concerns.
Do note that if you didn't take a MSE for a test drive prior to purchase, they can't state it's normal unless they can provide a representative example to demonsrate the case. But if you took out a SSV Redline as a close approximation to the MSE prior to purchase, and it didn't make such noises, then the the only conclusion can be the supplied MSE is not representative of the quality of the vehcile you test drove and as such you'd be in your right to return it and get a full refund under ACL which should get them focusing on solving your concerns
It maybe worth checking if any local dealer has a motorsport 'demonstrator' available. Consider taking that for a test drive as a comparison to your example. Record the drive on your phone and then do the same drive on the same road in your MSE again recording the event. That should give you good back to back comparison and evidence. If there is a big difference in noise, the selling dealer can't claim they are all like that. If that dealer with the MSE demonstrator is not accomodating call HCC and outline your problems.
Thanks Blue Calais, will have a look at this as possible source of problem, the more advice I get the better so I can try and get the issues sorted. Appreciate the reply
