Infact they are experts at it and actualy got away with it for a long time. oley. > for tearing fuel hoses on v8 models I haven't heard of any actually doing so, just the potential exists for it to happen under certain circumstances. > a recall already but then again holden does stand for lemon Nothing screams lemon as much as three-eight-zero.

Hypothetically speaking, this might have been an issue on a previous model as well. I don't have the 'dirt' a friend was actually badly burned when he was trapped in his garage when it lit up the puddle that ended up on the ground. I don't know the full story, but his burns were very real, and he _did_ get a new f.cking car and some decent dough, so something was 'up'  SignatureJohn McKenzie tosspam@aol.com abuse@aol.com abuse@yahoo.com abuse@hotmail.com abuse@msn.com abuse@sprint.com abuse@earthlink.com fraudinfo@psinet.com sweep.day@accc.gov.au uce@ftc.gov vive le resistance - 6ohms at least admin@loopback $LOGIN@localhost $LOGNAME@localhost $USER@localhost $USER@$HOST -h1024@localhost root@mailloop.com president@whitehouse.gov vice.president@whitehouse.gov abuse@iprimus.com.au abuse@cia.gov abuse@fbi.gov abuse@asio.gov.au abuse@federalpolice.gov.au >> > for tearing fuel hoses on v8 models >> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > very real, and he _did_ get a new f.cking car and some decent dough, so > something was 'up' What exactly was he doing with the fuel hose for it to tear and light up? > What exactly was he doing with the fuel hose for it to tear and light up? It went something along the lines of, open garage door, start car, car stalls, and fire erupts from underneath car. he turned it off, and then was stuck.

They're all as bad as each other, and there doesn't seem to be a stand-out performer in this area, but some of the faults previously gotten away with and taken care of as "silent" recalls done at service time have been f.cking amazing. Two that spring immediately to mind are the Ford DA LTD and the first of the Supercharged V6 SS Commy's. The LTD had a fault with it's ABS in that under certain conditions the brakes would work fine until it decelerated to around 20km/h or so, then it would lose hydraulic pressure completely and just ram into whatever was in front of it. Apparently it was some bug in the coding that caused it to throw it's arms up in the air if it met a certain condition, and it was hushed up nicely after a few got bent. The Commy had the opposite problem. It had a weird problem with it's cruise control in that if it was enabled in a certain way, it nailed the throttle wide open and just took off until you sh.t yourself and stood hard on the brakes. Given that the things were all auto's and quite torquey, I'll bet that caused a lump or two in the odd pair of trousers on a wet road :) That one was kept quiet too. -- Regards, Noddy. >> Hypothetically speaking, this might have been an issue on a previous >> model as well.

It was on the very first of the supercharged 6 cylinders. > Must have been kept very quiet since I've never heard of that one. There was a fix for it out pretty quickly, and they got on it right away. Still, that never stopped a few getting damaged, and I know of one personally that was rammed into the back of a parked car with Holden paying for all the damage. -- Regards, Noddy. >> What model was that? > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > personally that was rammed into the back of a parked car with Holden > paying for all the damage. Ah, I wasn't working for Holden when the first Supercharged V6's came out come to think of it, so that would explain it. I believe they named the 380 after working out how many cars they would sell during the model's production life.

Its funny how the mitsu nazti trolls thinks its going to save MMAL by posting their bullshit here. If I wanted to hear about bullshit I would put on CH2 and watch the politicians make fresh steamy mounds of bullshit. :-) SignatureRegards Dan Wot a dipstick!

Try and brag yourself out of that one dickface! SignatureRegards Dan I think the first of the supercharged V6s was the series 2 or 3 VS. SignatureVYBerlinaV8 |
