My Holden Ute SSV Redline 2011

SO, it´s a 2011 Series 2 Ute SSV Redline...
Black.
HSV 20" wheels
Tein coilovers
OTR intake
Holden hardlid
Rear cam.
Cat back 2,5" Xforce exhaust.

This was how i bought it.

What did i changed already:
Front cam (we drive on the right side of the road, so intake on a 2way road isn´t always easy), so now i can check it more easy on oncomming traffic.
Upgrade the music install, fase 1.
Changed the headlights (same reason as the cam).
Removed read exhaust dampers (for a bit more grunt).
Added a EDI module, mirror function (on HU), movie function,...
Tinted the back lights (blacked them out).
Made a tow hook replacement when not mounted.

What´s on the planning:
Ad some vinyl graphics (since it´s our company car).
Add more power: extractors, better cat´s, engine update´s (still looking what are the best options), a compressor is for sure something i would like.
Hope to learn more here and get good tips.

How did you get one of these in Belgium ?

Couldn't be too many of them over there ?

S2 VE UTE
Hi, we have a 2011 VE Ute and have just been told that the engine cover is leaking and needs to be replaced... massive 8 hour job costing $2000.00. Has anyone had to do this and what happens if we don't? it's only done 111k. If it definitely needs to happen is the cost excessive?

the engine cover is leaking and needs to be replaced

The engine cover is merely a piece of plastic that covers the unsightly components of the engine. There is nothing to leak from the engine cover.

You might want to confirm what the real, claimed issue is.
