I'll try the neutral idea if it happens again. Thanks for that - let me know how it goes when the new dealer looks at it.

Agree - must be just a glitch that fixes itself. Thanks for that. Reminds me of the Foxtel response you get when you have a problem - "Turn it off at the power point for 5 minutes - then back on". Always works. :) One thing I do notice - my engine is still so quiet - at times when I'm idling...

Touch wood - hasn't occurred again. I have had a "service keyless entry" message. Seems like a computer generated thing. Might need a new (key) battery.

I was also wondering if a reset/restart would work - ie unhook the battery then re attach ? It seems as if the brake is locked on - then slowly "relaxes". The "hand brake" doesn't work - I must add (or doesn't seem to).

I've got a 2014 VF Calais V - it did this same thing to me yesterday - at the petrol station - I ended up blocking a bay which annoyed them :). The car is basically "frozen" - can't move - brake feels full on. Message telling me to push the brake pedal to start but the green start button was...

Yeah - you may be right. I don't usually listen to them - just on a trip.

Yes and no. I doubt that statistic. I don't remember 8 tracks in cars ... :) And a CD is hardly a lot of space. They are merely pandering to the big-Tech companies like apple.

A lot of trouble though. You'd think someone would have a CD/Radio set-up that would slip in ... :)

Is this the best spot for this question ?

No-one seems to answer these questions. I asked about having a CD/Radio in the latest Holden but no-one seems to know.

I didn't think of Facebook ... :) No - Holden. It wasn't that powerful - but was solid.

Funny how some stick in your mind. My VL was a favourite. But I still remember my first - an FB - when I was quite young.

Bit scary in buying a "new" one today - still with "warranty".

Any tips on this wagon would also be appreciated - ie issues / problems / recalls etc ?

Hi. First post so go easy on me. I'm thinking of getting one of these (used of course) - I currently have the VF Calais V Sedan which I really like. BUT ... call me an old fart - I like having a Radio/CD. I've searched everywhere - maybe using wrong words ... - to see if I can have one...
