You just contracdicted your own post soop the "specification" from GM says it lasts 5 years or 240,000 so that's what one has to assume is the life by the "SPECIFICATION".........by that reckoning how can Holden service schedule "SPECIFICATION" say change it after 12 months or 15000 kms. Try...

sorry Kikki I was typing my last post while you posted your last one.......point taken.....not much point debating this on your thread glad your car is sorted

OK I dont really want to drag this out as we obviously have different opinions from different sides of the fence and my 19 year old ape remark obviously offended some people. Sorry if that is the case. but, being factual, why if "supervised" was a trainee allowed to remove my starter motor with...

This was the point I was making......Ricey, just coz you havent heard of it, doesnt mean it doesnt happen mate. These are tha facts but hey dont let that ruin your chance to make smug remarks huh?

Kikki, this is very weird as the steering wheel cannot be installed "crooked" as it has a locater in the spline and will only fit on in one exact position. I just changed my steering wheel which is how I found this. I hope your holden mechanic hasnt forced the new wheel on and damaged the column...

Yes I would, there used to be a time when service meant service and if something needed tightening, a small bulb needed chanfging etc etc it was included for free as a good will gesture.....not like today where your $300-500 pays for nothing more than a part trained 19 year old ape to drop the...

I managed to get the diagrams via email so no longer require them. If anyone else wants them, shout

Hi Kikki I am prepared to bet I know which dealer you are refering to from your expression "service department dick". Re the harmonic balancer, I would think the only damage, if any, would potentially be the woodruff key slot in the end of the crank but I am basing that on experience with...

Hi Does anyone have an exploded parts diagram of the front and rear strut assemblies for the VE? I have just bought King Springs, Whiteline shock mounts and Monroe GT Sports shocks and would like to assemble these as complete ready to fit units before jacking up the car, so I will need to...

OK so it took me ages but here are some pics of the wheels fitted. I am really happy with them for the money and have just bought some Monroe GT Sports shocks and King Spring SSL's as my next addition. The pics mnake the arches look high for some reason......looks better in person. Thanks again

Thanks for the pic in daylight, I have been struggling to chose between the black or chrome ones to go on a Morpheus Purple SS. The black ones look great in a real picture....pity the pics that the ebay store use to advertise them appear to have had the lamps badly photoshopped on to another...

and the price for four 20 inch rims fitted with Triangie tyres, balanced and fitted on car........1500 bucks.........my local supplier 400 bucks cheaper before we even get into shipping costs, thanks again guys, appreciate the effort

Havoc and Tinsnips.......well done to you both, thanks so much, you found them, seems they are branded as both the oxwheels OX815 and CSA Stinger, now I can go get some prices......thanks again EDIT: correction to my comment, the wheels pictured are OX Wheels OX-815, the CSA Stingers are...

Tinsnips, thanks I checked out the CSA Amp and it is similar but slighly different as the spokes run into the outside of the rim. uwishn, I will lookup lenso and see Thanks to you both

Hi All Can anyone identify the wheels here (Brand/Model). I want to put a set on my VE SS but I also want to compare prices from a local supplier. The interstate supplier who used this pic has photoshopped out the centre cap and doesnt use a brand description oin his adverts (deliberately I...
