1984 Holden Commodore Berlina review from Australia and New Zealand
"I don't regret buying it, coulden`t get better value for money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This is my first car and I believe it's a excellent learner.
It's a easy vehicle to fix for the home mechanic, parts are easy to source from wreckers, but getting some parts new can be difficult.
Problems include a leaky water pump.
Ceased air pump.
A few started motors.
I had to rebuild the motor due to lack of oil changes previously, oil pick up got clogged and eventually dislodged and chewed up the bearings, total rebuild cost about $250.
It can be very expensive to run with very high fuel consumption (super grade fuel).
It's a great cruiser and very comfortable.
General comments?
A mechanically strong reliable car.
