Maybe it is a lemon. Plenty of people have had problem plagued Holden lemons just as in any other make. I know one particular white Holden ute that has bailed its owner up a few times, but the previous ute never gave any dramas. Also know of some other Sandman owners on this site who were put off ever buying another Holden after buying a lemon HZ station wagon lol........(they now have a few Holdens again now though).
