1979 Holden Commodore SL review from Australia and New Zealand
"A reliable car that never gives up"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I blew the diff from burnouts.
Steering rack went on it.
Manifold gasket blew on red engine.
Leaks water.
General comments?
The 3.3 red engine is nothing but trouble. After replacing the engine with a 3.3 blue engine, I have got a increase of power and it's smoother when sitting at 100 km/h.
After taking my car on a 4WD tracks, it just shows how tough a Commodore is. I am really happy with the car.
