1986 Holden Camira SL review from Australia and New Zealand
"A cheap car for the handyman"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Starter motor died.
Throttle position sensor.
Front wheel hub.
Broken piston.
Broken seat frame.
Rusted out tailgate support in roof.
General comments?
I've yet to set up my home made throttle position sensor properly, but it was very economical before that.
Very comfortable highway cruiser, but also quite unreliable. I've been lucky enough to fix all the problems myself except for the starter which died 1000Km from home.
