1985 Holden Jackaroo LX review from Australia and New Zealand
"Fun and reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water Pump.
CV joints.
Wheel hub needed replacing.
Vinyl and cloth seats had begun to wear.
General comments?
Good reliable car. I had the 2 door version, which was a bit of a pain getting kids in and out of car seats.
Rear seats not too comfortable for adults on a long trip, a bit on the thin side, padding wise.
Good on petrol especially on open road.
Unfortunately I got arthritis while I had this car and being a manual with no power steering, I had to give it up, otherwise I would still be driving around in my bright red Jackaroo.
