@ micks-sandman...Hi Mick, I sold that ute in october 81 as I was getting married. It was a great ute and I never had a moment's drama with it, and it was driven all over NSW, in all weather and road condition's.

The ute I have now is an 07 VZ commodore,and am very happy to say I have never had any drama's with it either. It is no "Sandman HZ", but it still has a "Z" in the name.

Cheers.
