My cars juddery between 1500 and 2500 in most gears and after a bit of searching I'm thinking its a dirty throttle body. If I take the elbow off to clean inside will I need to replace any gaskets?

I wouldn't even swap them for my VE SV6 wheels, I'm presuming whoever designed the wheels for the VE range has since left Holden and they just Employed a 6 year old to save money.

I didn't say all of them lol, I do agree. Those 3 spokey type ones, the pentagon and the sort of pentagon on the angle ones were a bit ugly. But the R8, GTS, W427, Senator and the SV Black Edition wheels really work and look great and I'd be happy to have any of them on my car (especially the...

How did HSV manage to make so many desirable wheels for the VE models, yet for the VF they seem to have tried to make the ugliest wheels possible :hmmm: And I don't know why but the rear end reminds me of evil Johnny 5

I wonder why no-one goes for the Vauxhall badge (other than it being ugly) or Opel as the R8 is sold in Europe? Why has no-one produced yet, after all the years the VE has been out no-one has produce a factory look badgeless grill. In Europe a car as popular as the VE is down here would...

Love it, so nice to see something different.

Our old Renault Megane you had to take the front wheel off to replace the bulbs :hmmm::confused: Silly Frenchies

Bumping an old thread as I've just changed my headlight bulbs to better ones, but I read this thread and expected it to be hard, but 5 minutes later and they're both changed. A tiny bit of contortionism (sp) is required on the drivers side, but on the Passenger side I just unclipped the top...

Found the info I needed though, backs fit but the front of the skirts on the HSVs have a notch out of them

I grew up in Southampton, but originally from Winchester.

Yep, standard mail, but 2 weeks tops for delivery. I'm a Pomme so have sent a fair few parcels for Nephews and Nieces and they've never taken more than 2 weeks and prices have never been that bad for my folks sending stuff over. Possible could be because it's Aus as it's been cheaper for me to...

Nah postage is about 15GBP which is probably about the same cost as a Happy meal over there. Yep, some of the things put on Commodores over here make me cringe. But everyones tastes are different. At least he's not putting Chev badges on like some poor taste individuals on here

lol I don't. I had them on my car when I got it and promptly removed them (just wish I could get rid of the tow bar too). Anyhoo, on a UK forum I'm a member on a guy has just bought a VX(R8) and was going to put some aftermarket ones on, so as I had mine sitting around I offered them to him if...

bump for any help?

Just wondering if the Mudflaps I took off my SV6 would fit onto a Clubsport (R8)? Looking at pictures it looks like the fronts will, but I know the rear bumper sits lower on the Clubbies. Thanks in advance :)
