  1. IMO, ULP will be fine, you probably won't even notice the difference.
  2. I got the call today. Westpoint have my car, cant be long now :D :D
  3. fun bags??? If you mean side airbags $500.00 RRP so not expensive IMO.
  4. Yeah, delivery slipped a week but I'm not too fussed, it's still at least 2 months ahead of my original dealers time frame. ETA 18th Feb WOOHOO...think I'll get the missus to ring in sick for me on the day :lol: :lol:
  5. I agree with ninka. I got my dealer to arrange it for about the same price.
  6. Nah..can't do that 'cause she knows that the insurance will cover ANYONE as long as they have a licence and are not drunk/on drugs. She read the contract that came with the lease papers
  7. Doesn't sound good at all. Production quality can vary but surely the QA should have picked up these faults....and what about the pre delivery??? Aren't they supposed to pick up these things that the factory may have missed? Good luck, I hope Big Geoff reads your letter and sorts things out for you
  8. sorry to hear about your accident, thankfully doesn't look too serious though. change the tyre, better safe than sorry.
  9. OK the forum has spoken...(imagine the music from Survivor tribal council :lol: ) with 67% voting for leave the keys, I'll do just that....
  10. Yep, most modern headlight lenses are made of high impact resistant polycarbonate so the protectors are IMO useless. The bonet protectors are UGLY so I'll take the risk. I am interested in the clear plastic film though, instead of mud spats.
  11. Subject: TURNING TFT COLOUR SCREEN INTO NIGHT MODE Models: All BA Falcons fitted TFT colour screen Summary: TFT colour screen fitted to vehicle has a night mode, enabled by the volume/power button. Information: Any vehicle fitted with either Satellite Navigation or Premium audio system has a TFT colour screen fitted to the Interior Command Centre (ICC). The colour TFT screen has a built in night mode. In this mode, the screen will turn off if the ICC is untouched for 5 seconds. With the night mode enabled the ICC continues to function once the TFT colour screen has gone off. Any adjustment of the ICC's functions will cause the TFT colour screen to illuminate. Night mode is enabled/disabled by holding down the volume/power button for 3 seconds until a chime is heard.
  12. Good 'ol Geoff frequents FF....leave a message there. Or perhaps ADMIN should invite him to join us here once in a while.
  13. So here I am patiently awaiting the arrival of my new car.....today I am asked to go to the US for training for 2 - 3 weeks starting 25th March. The wife is already planning to take the car away while I'm gone. It'll only be 4 odd weeks old, barely run in. She's a real lead foot too. I'll have to fit the baby seat, and the booster seat in it.....man I can just see the baby puke stains and the food/drink spilled all over the place.....She'll probably park it at the safeway and christen it with a trolley or something too...
  14. no need for you to apologise...GMH should be :lol: :lol:
  15. that's unfortunate for those waiting....thankfully mine is/was at FPV yesterday and there no options to fit there.
  16. No, got the call Monday .......a few more days, probably mid next week so that makes it the 19th. Still smiling though, I was kept up to date and fully informed about progress so that's something I guess.
  17. Theres nothing "Super" about and extra 19kw above the standard V6, especially when its only 171kw @ 5200 rpm (PULP) 375Nm @ 3000 rpm (PULP) Sounds like a piston/belt driven hairdryer to me :lol:
  18. Thanks Dagabond....pity, I wont have THE car by then
  19. Unless I have missed something, we have time and place but what date is it??
  20. Thanks XR8Chic, Just what I wanted to know :D
  21. Only a few more days (I hope) and I'll be able to vote......
  22. Anyone remember HR Puffinstuff and little Jimmy....
  23. Correct tolerance......replace rubbers...on a NEW Diff OMG! Surely that can't be the solution in this case

    Brake Lights

    Thanks Cam for the detailed explanation.....being in electronics myself all that theory sounds familiar in a distant (oh say 15 years ago) sort of way... I suspect that it is really just an illusion though....
