1981 Holden Commodore VH review from Australia and New Zealand

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Had problems with heater core, alternator, tailshaft, starter motor, front suspension, petrol hose tank leaks, fuel pump, water pump and small electrical problems.

General comments?

Although I have had many problems with my particular VH Commodore, it has never left me anywhere and always taken me to my destination. Compared to problems with other cars, VH parts are the cheapest. I would recommend this car to buyers that are willing to spend money on the car remembering it is nearly 20 years old.
