1987 Holden Commodore VL Executive review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great hoons car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Recently the car seems to want to die just as you start it, then snaps out of it.
It has some trouble starting when the temperature is just comfortable outside. It starts first click when it is really freezing in the morning and when it is warm. Could it be the crank angle sensor or the alternator?
Blew its head at 90,000km.
Boot leaks.
Rust around the front windscreen.
General comments?
The VL Commodore is a fantastic car, especially when you're on your P's and considering it has been in the family since brand new.
