1988 Holden Camira JE review from Australia and New Zealand
"My pride and joy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ignition barrel tumblers needed replacing.
Left hand rear tyre brake cylinder needed replacing.
Fuel pump wiring faulty.
"jerks" after being driven for a while, have to stop, kill engine, then re-start, build up revs, before it will drive properly again.
General comments?
Even though a lot has gone wrong with this car, it is a joy to drive. It handles easy, and the bonus for me, because I happen to be only 5ft 2, is I can easily adjust the seats, so I drive in comfort.
I have had other cars, including 2 commodores, before I brought this one, I swore I would never buy another holden, but this car has definitely changed my mind.
