1978 Holden Kingswood HZ review from Australia and New Zealand

"Excellent car, the old Holdens are built real tough"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

* Water pump broken.

* Power steering unit keeps leaking.

* Hand brake is dumb, always rely on the gear.

General comments?

Everyone needs to realize that the old Holdens are the toughest cars on the Aussie roads. If they were as fuel efficient as the cars these days I think most people would have one.
