    Not sure how it would go on old badges where the adhesive has hardened up - but makes light work of relatively fresh badges.

    That's often the case. Filled up this morning next to a new Merc SLS - never thought much of them - but christ they look good in the flesh! Even with the stupid doors!

    Nice Ute Rusty!

    Just wondering how your fuel consumtion is?
    Mine just seems to be drinking too much... it can be between 14-15L/100km...

    I had a series 1 SS Ute for about 2 weeks that seemed awesome on fuel!
    Using about 12L/100km and I wasnt driving it softly at all.

    I was thinking that maybe Holden run them a bit rich until you have your 3000km service and then re-map?
    Any help on this subject?

    Mine is a manual, but I didnt think that it would make a massive difference to the fuel consumption?

    Very nice mate, finally got it hey.
    I love Phantom, makes me miss my old SV6 :p

    How do the rear parking sensors go? I didn't realise they were a factory option.

    Ps - you posted your thread in the wrong topic area lol.

    Got the sensors on my ute, they are handy, I'm starting to have more faith in them but it takes time to trust them when you are reversing blindly.

    Try the key for the lid and turn the lock, then the central locking should lock it.
    If its not shutting properly you can adjust the upside down "U" shaped bits of metal on inside of tray with the nuts to raise or lower it to suit the lid latch (sorry cant seem to find words to explain).
    I've got mine so that when I close lid, I have to lightly push down and I can hear a click when the lid latch catches, just to keep a tight seal.
