VE Omega , HQ GTS Coupe.
Not long after I got my duel fuel Omega it stalled while going round a roundabout.
I think it was going through the transition phase of changing between petrol and gas.
It totally died.

I pulled over, flicked the switch back to petrol and it restarted.
Hasn't happened since but it sure was unnerving.
Sometimes now I manually change between petrol and gas when I'm going in a straight line, instead of leaving it to do it automatically.

I'll be sure to mention it to the dealer when the 25k service comes up.

VE SERIES II SV6 SIDI
I have had brake squeals, rattles all over the place, noisy seat, noisy auto trans (in my earlier Series 1) and a few minor things replaced under warranty. Quality and well built do not go together with the word "Holden".

- Air box thing in the dash got a crack and leaked water throughout the floor of the car... Lovely mouldy smell for a while.

Did it drip from under the dash on the passenger side of the car?? Mine does this when it rains and the car is stationary but when I am driving it does not drip.





Also unrelated note guys I need help and didn't want to start a new thread about it.... I have an Omega and this pathetic single disc CD player, not only is it crap but it scratches my CDs, I'd get less damage if I opened the door while I was driving and dragged my CDs on the road. Anyway rant over. I am lining up to buy the black 6 stacker and I am wondering if it will just plug right in the same and will it work correctly on my ugly little green screen at the top?

VE Calais, VR Wagon
Had the centre console storage bin door replaced because it wouldn't close. The passenger side vanity mirror lights were flickering whenever they were on so I got that replaced, and I had to get the harmonic balancer replaced as well. This is on my 2006 calais V8 sedan.

ssv ute , Range Rover Vogue
I'm driving around now with the ABS, esp, check engine alarms coming up every time i start it, this is the 4th time in less than 20,000 kilometres, no doubt just a sensor, so i just reset 'em and keep driving until i get the time to get 'em looked at.
A rattle in the dash somewhere on the drivers side as well, not much, but yea, i have less hassles with my 24 year old Landcruiser Ute.
