1978 Holden Commodore vb review from Australia and New Zealand
"If you are looking for a cheap on fuel car holden commodores are not for you"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Indicator arm replaced, they were badly designed.
Always having problems with keys. to long and thin and break easy.
Had to replace gear-box switch which stops the car start in any gear other than park.
Wiring problems e.g. earths, fuses blowing etc.
Burnt out a window wiper motor and replaced.
General comments?
Love my holdens more than any other car. had a vh which had a lot of the same problems.
