1987 Holden Commodore VL Executive review from Australia and New Zealand
"Filth first car!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air conditioning switch is screwed.
Indicator switch thing is broken, high beam doesn't work.
Crank angle sensor starting to pack it in at 168000.
Boot leaks a bit.
Automatic gear lever has broken.
General comments?
Everything else on the car is sweet, for 2 grand it's a bargain, it cuts sick acceleration wise considering it's age, the engine's mad.
With power steering it's a bit sensitive from the front end.
Mine's lowered, stock standard executive, white with black tint, pursuit rims, 2.5 inch exhaust, that's about it and all up it's only set me back about 2500... pulls the chicks.
If anyone knows anything basic about power gains with the standard 6, preferably DIY, vl_turbo_boy@hotmail.com.
