rockafellqeinstien Member 325 Member For: 16y 4m 4d Posted 13/07/09 11:21 PM Share Posted 13/07/09 11:21 PM so whats next, VE SS ute? In all serious I looked into Holdens service to see how they compare to ford (I love fords car but service/warrenty really disapoints).Try looking up the sticking clutch issue on VE V8 commodores. Basically a know problem for 3 years and only just getting a fix now. I think they are upgrading the clutch slave to the old VZ one as the new (cheaper) one couldnt handle sustained high RPM. Imagine haveing a problem for three years and getting nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford can't fix the effin base of my drivers seat though, they have had it four times and it's still f##ked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
