1985 Holden Commodore VK Berlina review from Australia and New Zealand
"I love my car, it goes like a rocket"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A few months after buying it the electric fuel pump died - fairly expensive to replace ($180).
Radiator needs replacing (it is a 17 year old radiator so it's not doing too bad). Radiator stop leak does the job for now.
General comments?
The car is beautiful to drive, some people prefer the new car feeling where you don't really feel like you're driving the car. Where as with the older cars you know that you're in control.
Please note 70,000km is not a typing error.
