Thanks for coming back to me so quickly. I agree that it takes longer to fill the phone options menu now. With the text messages I assume you mean it comes and goes via the iPhone updates?

Strange problem - MyLink is no longer receiving text messages from my iPhone 12 mini. It was working fine until about a month or so ago. It still works for phone calls, playing music and even the phone voice commands. But the txt message feature has gone. I am assuming it coincided with an...

@RevNev My Dads VH is sitting in my garage awaiting a freshen up. His name was Nev. When my son was a youngster he christened the VH “the Nevrolet”.

My VFII SV6 does the same downhill

I must have them all here in Sydney. Drive me nuts, yep love to **** on the SV6 as do the bloody Cockatoo’s

My service dealer also sells and services the GMSV range - wouldn’t those maps be available/compatible with my VFII SV6 ? Probably ‘too hard’. TBH they don’t seem motivated to do even a half arsed job for Holdens anymore.

The last batch/s of SV6 had the HUD. I love mine but it took a little while to get used to. About 10 mins.

Agree.

Coincidentally I saw a HJ Statesman today. Antelope, 308 but with a bench seat and column auto. My dream combination! I had a nice chat with the owners for 5 or so minutes. (Photos too large to upload)

Yep, the top level of the standard size Holdens. Calais/V was the equivalent in Commodores. In both cases Statesman DeVille & Caprice were the larger luxury/prestige Holdens (or ‘by GMH’)

I had a HJ Premier 202 Tbar in Antelope. Beaut colour, beaut car. Very comfy seats, it seemed that the Prem had bigger buckets that the Kingy - I know that’s not likely true but that was the impression. Had compliments from passengers on the comfort of the car when giving lifts.

To the OP, I bought my ‘17 VFII SV6 Sportswagon new in 2018 in Son of a Gun Grey and it has been trouble free so far. I’m at 93k now with the Covid years reducing my annual kms. At this time I think I’ll just keep it. I would say that it has been quite handy, and there is plenty of room. I’ve...

My 15 VF Calais sedan with a lip spoiler opened just enough to be convenient and easy to lift from there. I don’t remember it ever opening fully, if it did it was rare.

Just that I see plenty on other cars from my wife’s Astra and various Foresters and Outback’s. Think they look pretty good. I still spend plenty of time waiting around to pick up my kids from various places and it would be nice to have rather than essential to be able to open the windows a crack...

Now for the next random question. (This seems to be my default setting these days). Anyone got a Sportswagon with all 4 slimline window windows deflectors on it? How does it look? I’m think of getting them on but I think I’ve only seen one wagon with them and it went past too quickly to get a...
