Faults:

Power steering rack leaked, I let it get too low and stuffed the power steering pump too. Fixed it with new ones from wreckers. rear power windows don't work, I will fix them eventually. tyres keep going bald on the back. I think I have a pretty good idea of what the problem is. ;)

General Comments:

Awesome car, I absolutely love the V8 VN/VP's, reliable heaps of grunt, T700's are good transmissions, firm shifts (chirps second with stock trans and 15 inch wheels) very economical for a V8, more economical than my previous car (EB I6 4.0L falcon). cruise control helps. nothing sounds better than a 5.0L commodore. I don't know what top speed it has because the speedo only goes up to 220km/h. IRS gives decent handling and traction when needed. if you want a cheap, fast and reliable machine you can't beat a V8 VN/VP, they will take abuse all day long.

Faults:

No problems until well over the 100,000 km mark.

Problems included a hole in the exhaust manifold (was replaced).

Leak in the power steering, this had to be repaired twice within a year, the garage insisted that it was a different part that went wrong the second time.

Replaced the brake-disks then six months later they had to be re-surfaced.

General Comments:

I bought this car in 1994 and still have it after 11 years, what more can I say?

I'm ready to sell it now, as I'm about to retire.

In spite of the Problems, I have loved this car, it's got all the power and comfort that one could ask for.

This car has never let me down.
