    Has IOS 14.4 broken Bluetooth audio streaming?

    Anyone else having issues since the upgrade? When I play music from either youtube or Spotify it has a very noticible stutter making it useless. Never had any problems on previous versions. I'm using a 12 Pro Max. Phone calls seem ok. No issue with my Bluetooth Bose headphones.

    Measuring Oil Temperature

    Does the VF Redline measure Oil temperature from factory? I have been led to believe that the instrument cluster temperature gauge is measured based on coolant temp rather than oil. Is there a way for me to see the oil temp without having to fit an aftermarket gauge?

    GM Magnetic Ride Control - Is it any good?

    For those who have actually driven a vehicle fitted with Mag Ride, what do you think? My wifes BMW has Adaptive Ride Suspension and although the difference is settings is not huge, you can tell the difference between comfort mode and performance. It's also supposed to adjust based on road...

    Water dripping on exhaust mid section. Is this normal?

    I parked on the side of the road today and as I walked away from the car I could hear a hissing sound coming from the car. Upon looking under the car from the passenger side, I could see droplets of water dripping from under the car onto the exhaust midsection. This was in the middle of the...

    Thinking of putting the stock springs back in my VFII Redline

    It's been well over a year since I lowered my VFII Redline. I did this because the stock VFII Redline looks like it's quite high with large gaps in the guards. For some reason, I don't notice it so much on VE's and earlier model VF's, in fact, I would have left it stock if it looked like many of...

    Petrol Fuel age concerns - Not driving my SS as much...

    Hi All I recently changed jobs which means I no longer drive to work. I only use my SS on weekends now for short trips or the occasional day out with the family so my estimated yearly KMs will be around 5000km. My concern is about fuel (98 RON) that is sitting in the tank for extended amounts...

    Very concerning sound upon startup...

    I own a 2016 VFII Redline in Manual. It's been virtually trouble free for the two years I have owned her. This Christmas I had my Uncle start the car in my garage and the sound upon startup was a loud mechanical clanking noise which lasted a couple seconds and then went to normal idling sound. I...

    Hi All Keen to get some opinions on what is some of the best sounding V8 machines that Holden or HSV have released? Modded does not count, this is purely based on factory spec all the way from VB to VFII/GenF2

    Hi All I'm looking to buy a set of black door and gutter moulds to replace the factory chrome ones whilst eBay is offering 10% off. Does anyone have any advice on doing this DIY? Is it a one man job and do I need any speciality tools? Just want to know the best way to do this without causing...

    Scraped Bottom of SS. What to do?!?!

    I thought I would do the right thing last weekend by surprising my wife at her work to give her a lift home. Drove the SS down into her underground car park without an issue. Problem was getting back out. Tried all different angles but due to the long length of the car I could hear some...

    Replacing Chrome Outer Door Belt Weatherstrips & Gutter Drip Rail Mouldings

    Im thinking about completing my blackout on my MY16 Redline. I had the dealer add the full blackout kit before delivery however there was no option to blackout all the chrome around the doors.

    VF Sunroof Wind deflector

    Hi All, I noticed that my sunroof has a wind deflector that pops up when the roof is open. The deflector seems to rise a little bit too high leaving a gap between the roof and the deflector which causes unnecessary wind noise even if travelling at 60kmH. Is there a known fix to lower it slightly...

    Are all W375 packs the same?

    Been thinking of the W375 or W407 for my MY16 Redline. Main reasons are to get some more V8 sound from the car and to extract some more HP from what is a vey mild stock tune IMO. I would love a blower but can't get the funds nor do I want the hassle with limited insurance options, engineers...

    VFII SSV Redline Sedan Prussian Steel Blacked out

    Before buying mine late last year I found it almost impossible to find pics online of a Prussian Steel Redline with full Blackout pack so I thought I would share photos of my car for those who are also curious. Personally I like the full blackout on the VFII as it matches the black wheels and...

    VFII LS3 mods and tune on stock exhaust

    So one of the benefits of the LS3 VFII is its exhaust system which has that nice V8 sound. So my question is, if I was to spend the money on mods such as OTR intake, extractors, high flow cats and tune, would it be necessary to change the rest of the exhaust system to a 2.5" or 3" system? Has...
