This was probably back in 2019 or so. I just figured genuine Holden parts from the dealer would be ridiculously expensive, turns out they are not. I also got the outside A pillar mouldings and they were around 7 or 8 dollars each. I haven't bought any genuine Holden parts for a long time now...

And also cheaper new parts than wreckers 2nd hand parts I've found. I bought a 2nd hand vf windscreen cowl panel for $100 from a wrecker and then found new genuine from the dealer was $42! I now have a 2nd hand windscreen cowl ornament hanging in the shed.

I've always been too scared to use the auto parking feature thing in my manual ute. Never used it, probably never will. The parking sensors I use all the time. I'd also put in what the fuel label says, I've only ever put BP ultimate 98 in mine.

Great to hear so many people have held onto them!

Just curious about who's held onto their vf2 ss since buying new 7-8yrs ago? I've still got my May (I think) 2017 built redline ute with just under 17,000kms. Just started driving it again after being parked up for 12-18 months, toyed with the idea of selling it while the market is good but my...

And one of my favourite old ones, bought it from a mate and sold it back to him. Wouldn'tmind buying it back again one day.

This is my current one

Nice mate, the early gen 1 liberties are a decent thing. I've had about 7 of them, mostly the rs versions, still got a 93 rs wagon in ruby mica.

I'm quite happy with the TPMS in my redline ute. I picked up a screw in one of the rear tyres at ~800kms on the clock, low pressure warning went off as I pulled in the driveway, got out and couldn't really tell the difference between the two 35 profile tyres. Took it off and a quick trip to the...

Sorry to get your hopes up! But you never know, they might be cheaper than you expect.

Na mate, the trims down the side of the windscreen/a pillars. These ones.

Yeah a decent cover is on the cards after this. Think I might hang my old trims from a tree as a sacrifice to the crow gods.

Yeah will be sussing out a few online and making more enquiries while I'm away at work. Hopefully have it sorted out so I can fix it when I get back next week.

Spoke with Holden, the side trims are cheap at $17ea but apparently the windscreen cowl trim rubber and side rubber are not available separately, only with glass... side trim and glass is 155ish and trim and windscreen is 1150ish. The hunt continues.

Haha that's all I own, after my mate who got me into firearms passed away I couldn't justify increasing my collection to anything larger as access to the properties I used to use went with him and I lost the passion for it a bit.
