1983 Holden Commodore VH SL/E review from Australia and New Zealand
"SL/E's are the best cars, I'm never gonna sell mine I reckon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ignition module broke.
Petrol gauge and temperature gauge don't work on the dash.
Radiator leak.
Needed new brake discs.
Steering is rather heavy.
General comments?
Very comfortable seats/interior.
Fully optioned (cruise etc).
4.2 on gas a bit gutless, but sounds great.
Parts always being stolen from it so watch out.
