1981 Holden Commodore VH review from Australia and New Zealand
"Overall bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My VH (186) was running fine, until the other day when I rewired the interior light, and there is now no power to any part of the car at all.
I looked under the bonnet seeing that the battery terminals were in very bad condition. So I replaced them with new ones, and it seems that it has done nothing to solve the problem. So then I tried to jump start it, thinking that the battery was dead, even though it is brand new, and still had nothing.
Has this happened to anyone? Can anyone tell me how to fix it please? I need it on the road ASAP.
