    Low beam Indicator error message

    the module they are referring to would be the bcm. a sparkie would have checked the fuses and relays and i guess he tested for output to the relays and fuses which is why he suspects the bcm. it could be a software issue or it could need the bcm replaced, you will need to take it to a dealer...

    Blindspot Monitoring Evoke

    while i dont know about this specific feature i can say typically with gm things like this are usually switched off programmatically in the bcm and require programming to make them work.

    Horn stopped working

    yeah i drive with them, wait until you are moving 40t and see them pull out thinking you can stop on a dime lol i just dont use the horn, its pointless imo.

    Fuses & Relay - Low Beam

    yeah vehicles have a history of fuses and relays popping out while you drive, that must be why the fuse box has a lid, to contain them lol. one of the workers probably stole them for their own vehicle :mad:

    Fuses & Relay - Low Beam

    they wouldnt, someone has pillaged them for some reason. the only possible reason i could think is they had the vehicle ignition on for an extended period and they could not work out how to disable the auto headlight function so they pulled the lowbeam fuses/relays to stop the battery going flat.

    VF randomly kicks over with key in Ignition

    Probably a dodgy ignition switch in the barrel. Definitely get that checked out as it can cause issues especially if it kills the engine while driving and you are not ready for it.

    i use this little bit of kit to scan things, works in both turntable and handheld modes and if you were really keen you could scan an entire vehicle lol

    Roof Mounted DVD Player

    the message will go away once the correct vin is received. the mylink, dash cluster and other vehicle modules have the same security check and it is just your vehicles vin needing to match the one stored in the module. it cant hurt to try asking the dealer but dont be surprised if they have no...

    Roof Mounted DVD Player

    typical gm lol they have vin locked that module which means it needs to read the vin from the vehicle for it to work. try that little box but it is probably the main module that needs attention. i have never worked with the dvd module but the process will be the same and that will be...

    Mr Bodykit front lip FYI - fitment issues VF

    Good stuff, by finding a defect in the product they know they are screwed when it comes to acl. For them to tell you to cut it shows they acknowledge the fault and if you have that in writing(email) from them they are double screwed lol.

    Mr Bodykit front lip FYI - fitment issues VF

    It does make you wonder what the thought process was when the person designing it on the computer looked at it and said yeah 15mm short both sides looks good lol. If ya squint its mint!

    Roof Mounted DVD Player

    The remote should work on both but yes you should be able to swap bits around, they both look the same so i doubt the parts are different between the two.

    Mr Bodykit front lip FYI - fitment issues VF

    You dont know the intention of the design so you are speculating based on how you think it should be and for the op it is not a valid argument for a refund. I agree the design they have looks wrong falling short but that is not a defect it was a design choice just like the design choice to fall...

    Mr Bodykit front lip FYI - fitment issues VF

    of course there is an "argument" but that does not mean you are going to win. again a consumer cannot force expectations on a product design, if the product is designed to be like that then that is how it is. you cannot compare a different product to the one in question, that is not how it...

    Calling on the Shannons (or similar) insured V8 crew, can I have a price check please.

    the prices should all jump up next year, they got to cover the cost of dubai now.

    Mr Bodykit front lip FYI - fitment issues VF

    the mission statement is not going to help in the ops case because it is not product specific and the company if asked will say the product has been designed that way for "insert reason here". a consumer cant impose expectations on a companies design, if they could you would all be driving a...

    Chinese Android Head Unit Review - $595

    he got it from me. the mylink used in the vf is actually older than the vf and was used in other gm global vehicles while the ve was still being sold and the vf was in development ;) when the vf2 dropped the cd mech from the silverbox they just removed it and did not actually update anything...

    Chinese Android Head Unit Review - $595

    not sure if the aftermarket heated seats would work well, you need to be mindful that if you wire something wrong it can damage things beyond the module that controls the heated seats. with the stuttering over bluetooth was the phone anywhere near the mylink screen? the reason i ask this is...

    Mr Bodykit front lip FYI - fitment issues VF

    that is going to be an interesting argument because they dont specifically state perfect end to end fitment, the pictures do show the short fitment and they will claim that they said to trial fit it before painting or wrapping. it is hard to argue a case based on customer expectations when the...

    VF S2 SSV Redline Key Replacement Experience

    If the fob gets damaged or goes flat while the vehicle is locked you need the blade to unlock the door to access the console to start the vehicle. Not an issue if you are at home with the spare handy but can be problematic if you are out.

    Causes of poorer economy of ZB 4 cyl 2 litre petrol turbo

    If i remember correctly in some places the lgt engine did have an issue mainly pertaining to a loose unit behind the righthand front wheel. It might impact economy readings and it was not addressable with a recall.

    strange, you would not think the best car ever built with nitrogen in the tyres would have that issue.

    Customization

    they did sell a "black" variant of the zb with some of the chrome trim replaced with black. https://www.drivencarguide.co.nz/news/holden-commodore-black-edition-revealed-as-zb-celebrates-birthday/ you could try and find one in a wrecker and scavenge the parts or try and find a holden parts...

    Wireless CarPlay / android auto

    it uses bluetooth and the original mylink still operates as normal so you wont lose factory audible alerts from the vehicle.

    Fault code P129D, causing remote start problem

    fault codes will stop remote start, its a built in safety function so it does not really matter what the fault is the remote start function will be disabled if a code is present. you could try the battery but you may need to look at what is causing that error, dont focus on the remote start not...

    VF S2 SSV Redline Key Replacement Experience

    oem keys are better quality and more durable over time but at double/triple the price they are not worth it. you can mash oem parts into aftermarket keys but you will need a dremel to get them to operate smoothly, i have done this a few times swapping blades into aftermarket shells.

    B.C.M. Problems

    dodgy power is all it takes to screw with it all. glad it was not the bcm being faulty or needing to be "reprogrammed"

    VF 2015 V8 Storm loss of power steering 158K, SERVICE POWER STEERING FAULT

    Contact holden customer care and ask if they have had the recall for the steering done on your vin, if it has been done it will be logged and if its not one of the affected vin range they will tell you. Dont go by the vinlist on a website. Checking the voltage while the vehicle is running is...

    VF S2 or ZB, what to buy

    i think the reason they run it through the calibration process after the replacement is just to make sure everything is operating correctly and i guess it will also depend on the manufacturer and system they have designed and what they recommend but as you see its not some sort of crazy thing...
