I've heard that "rattling" problem has been fixed in late models (VY-SS II) and mine has done only 18000 km by one "timid" owner. Anyway, plenty of warranty time ahead and I'll keep an eye on it.<br /><br />Clutch on VY-SS is a bit weak (in my humble oppinion) but we'll see how long it'll last in my hands (legs) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/default/grin.gif" /> <br /><br />I didn't know that you had that problem with CV8 but at least it's all good now. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" /> <br />I've heard a lot of good comments about Zapps Aspley mechanics and your story is another + for them.<br /><br />That's were I'll go for Holden service.
