    Drove it, contemplated driving over a cliff (without me in it) and calling RACV... apparently thats illegal. Oh well..... maybe the missus will accidentally fill it up with diesel one day?

    then replaced with new mufflers etc,i know it is redback and some don't like them much but I was told by exhaust bloke the quality has improved a lot so thought I would give it a try
    only time will tell

    Took it to holden to get the computer plugged in to tell me why it was beeping the Service vehicle soon alarm all the time.
    he said 9 times out of ten its the oil pressure switch, and after paying him $50 he then confirmed that yes it was the OPS.

    So can someone please reply with the link to how to change it on a v6 VZ please. I assume you all have talked about them before..


    they wanted $250 to change it or $125 to supply me with one.

    I have found the adeco? for $50 delivered.

    Its located directly under the oil filter canister on the passenger side engine bay. Its literally unscrew it and screw new one in. The dash warning will disappear on its own once you drive it a few times. You do however need a special socket for it which you should be able to get from repco or so.
