VEs are much superior to VFs. Discus.

The average life of things like the HT Holden’s we’ve been talking about would be lucky to be 10 years ... a VF buyer would be Royally Shitted if it only lasted 10 years!

Love my VE but couldn’t imagine how it would be superior to a VF in any way shape or form, model for model (I.e. ssv to ssv)

VE was more expensive to build, the stuff they saved money on for VF was kinda hidden ... things like the underbody aero panels were deleted from VE. As the driver, the VF will always be the winner; maybe the person doing the servicing thinks VE is better?

My techie said back in April servicing the VF was 'very straightforward, just like the VZ' (he had previously serviced my VZ in transit 2 years back). The one quirk he talked about was the lack of a transmission dipstick, with nary a porthole window to check fluid level until the 150,000km scheduled auto transmission service. Funny that, as I spent almost a full day looking for the auto trans dipstick back in November...

Some VFs came out with those aero panels have seen them on Calais and even SAPOL patrol cars funny enough

I'm gonna guess a leak from the coolant over flow.

There was a thread the other day about someone else with a split coolant overflow tank.

it is dex-cool leaking from a split in the seam of the plastic tank on the radiator and it is pooling at the bottom of the radiator around the fins and seam on the left hand side of the vehicle.
basically if you start to see pink crap around your radiator you need to take a good look to locate the source before there is no pink crap left in the radiator lol.
