1991 Holden Commodore Executive review from Australia and New Zealand
"A quick car at a reasonable price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Has got a water leak in the boot, not managed to get around to finding where this is coming from, anyone help with this?
Developed a vibration at the rear (like running over cats eyes), when travelling at 80+ KPH. This is intermittent but also takes hold when turning too. Difficult to locate due to the intermittent nature of this fault.
Heater/Air Con doesn't work well on speeds 1 + 2 (known problem with the VN Commodore).
Gets an overwhelming smell of fuel int he car sometimes when the heater/fan is on.
Nothing else yet.
General comments?
Fuel economy has been good when not thrashed.
Plenty of room for a family.
Parts readily available for the car.
Great fun in the wet :-)
