[The 10th Doctor]

It went into Holden today to have a few things fixed:

- Squeaky drive belt
- Squeaky brakes
- Headlights always on (ex-Telstra car)
- Passenger sub not working

After 6 hours they only fixed the headlights. Waiting on parts for everything else

Looks good mate, even though you bought it in the wrong city :banstick:

I found the name plate installed by Holden in my car, and they called her "Shazza". I guess a V8 ute is bound to have a bogan name.

Nice vehicle you got there 10th Doc. Do the S2 SSV's not have voltage/oil temp & pressure gauges or am I just missing something? That interior is very purdy either way.

Watch out for the fuel bill I think I'm enjoying mine a lot judging by the juice it's going through!

Thanks! I think they got rid of them in the S2's due to looking 'outdated'. It would be nice to be able to see them via the iQ or something, but, eh.

Yeah the sh*tty electronic display is a bit tacky looking in my S1, I would much rather proper analogue dials like the HSV's. But I definitely use the oil temp. gauge, or as I like to call it the "can now put foot down hard" gauge.
