Ok well I couldn't find any clips, so gave the casing I marked earlier a bit of a tug and broke the front pin (circled in the photo) that mounts it to the rocker cover, it looked like a Christmas tree clip, but anyway it gave me just enough access to get the last 2 bolts out. Bit of a stupid...

Yes that holds that part of the harness but there is also a harness that runs over the rocker cover that's inside this plastic casing, this casing is somehow attached to the rocker cover. I took a photo and marked it, that's the piece I'm trying to remove

V6 alloytec

Hey, so I'm trying to remove the drivers side rocker cover on my alloytec VZ Calais, how do you remove the square shaped casing that's around the wiring loom that's running along the bottom/outside edge of the rocker cover? It's covering 2 of the bolts I need to remove the rocker cover...

Ok after another go at it last night, its fixed. I pulled out everything that might have been rubbing on the glass around the back of the door, still noisy, put it all back then lubed the rear door guide again but put more on the part of the guide closest to the inside of the car, thats where...

Yes the door trim has been removed (it's been off for the last week or so) and I've been looking and lubing everywhere I can possibly find. Another thing I've noticed is if I push on the glass towards the outside of the door while it's going up or down the noise doesn't happen.

I should have mentioned all the plastic sliders on the mech are fine and plenty lubed. Also the sound is coming from the back of the door near the locking mechanism. All the felt I can find feels ok and I've silicone sprayed it all. Thanks for thingo so far.

Hey, I have a VZ Calais and it's front passenger side window makes some weird noises. It works perfectly all the way up and down, but when it gets 3/4 of the way down it makes this horrible metallic sort of scraping noise which goes away before it gets to the bottom. When you move it back up...

This is how I connected mine.. (picture stolen from carmodder, thats the guide i used)

I connected the 6 pin plug up to the 6 connections around the steering column. There was a seperate wire on its own which I haven't connected anywhere, the guides I used didn't mention it. Are you saying that separate wire needs to be connected also? Yes I have the auto sensing lights but...

Yeah thats the thing, I'm not sure where to wire this illumition wire to properly.. I've tried a couple of places now but neither work but seem to work for others that have used the same guides as me. Thanks for the info, i'll keep looking!

Hi all, a couple of years ago I installed the tripe HSV binnacle guage pod in my ute (2008 VE SSV). The install went fine, all gauges work perfect. The issue I've had since then is the backlight for the guages, it doesn't quite match the dash guages backlight. Basically the binnacles...

Thanks for the tip guys, I'll pick up a bottle of pro gear at lunchtime. Cheers!

Thanks for the info! I'll certainly change the oil in it as a first step, if it gets rid of the whine then I owe you a beer or 3!

Really? I looked through the recalls sticky already but nothing in there. I'll keep looking but do you happen to know any more info on the thread? Thanks!

Hi all, I have a 2008 Holden VE SSV ute (manual, 97,000k's on clock) that has developed a whine while travelling between 95 and 97k/h. Trying to work out if its a rear wheel bearing or diff. The front wheel bearings were replaced a little while ago and this whine developed a fair while after...

Thanks for the info. So just so I have this right, the RFA needs to be programmed via a tech2 and the tis2web also needs a tech2 right? Are these cheap tech2's the ones that people are using to do the TPMS modding? Thanks!

What kind/brand of tech2 tool are you guys using? I've seen a few on ebay etc but just wondering if there are better ones than others out there? They are pretty exxy so I would want to get one that does the job! Thanks!

Thanks for this, I'll use this as a start to try and enable TPMS in my cluster. My cluster is a home made HSV cluster I made using a Berlina cluster, a bunch of white SMD LED's, a HSV facia and my old SSV needles :) Looks exactly like a factory HSV cluster and works the same. My cluster is a...

Excellent work! I'm keen to get this up and running in my SSV ute now! I put a HSV cluster (a series 1, white casing cluster) in my ute, to get this working I dumped the contents of my old cluster eeprom, modified it then flashed it into the HSV cluter eeprom. Has anyone managed to enable...

Hi all, I've recently picked up an excellent condition HSV steering wheel airbag cheap. Just wondering if there are any issues swapping my standard one with the HSV unit? Neither have been deployed and physically fit the same. Just not sure if there are any VIN's or serial numbers coded into...
