Rip the LPG out of it. The gas turns the engine into a slug plus they blow the air intake box all the time. I hate LPG unless it's tuned to run on LPG only, not dual fuel ⛽
we had this car but it went out with a bang on the highway about 3 hours away from home thank god no fire we now have a 2008 holden omega but great review!
Replying to an old comment here, but is it true the Buick V6 in Commodores has a weak bottom end? Some even say alloytecs are stronger in that regard. i Love the buick though
@@Anthony-fq9ct no, that myth stems from the fact that people that own these neglect them never service and treat them like shit. No shit you are going to throw rods or develop bottom end knock if you never service or sit on the rev limiter. Neglect an alloytec and a buick and see which one lasts longer.
@@TheWretchedWorld Cheers mate. So many Buicks are neglected I agree. I had an Alloytec in the past but now have a Commodore with the Buick V6. But basically, the Buick stand a lot more abuse than alloytec when driven hard correct? Mate of mine with an Alloytec preaches he has never blown his alloy, but I tell him to "buy a lottery ticket" because it is a miracle that thing is alive lol
3:24 Not quite what that switch does on the VR. The VL 4-speed auto did just that because its shift layout was “PRND21”, the orange switch when in “D” was the selector for 3rd gear or overdrive. Given the VR’s setup is “PRND321”, the lever locks out the overdrive when you shift it to 3. The switch simply changes the shift patterns and the parameters regarding when to upshift or downshift. I used to drive a VY which was still using the 4L60E just like this VR and in Power mode, it never changed up to overdrive until I hit 100km/h, but in Economy mode it upshifted at 80. According to Wheels magazine in 1993 if Holden’s engineers had their way, there would have been no switch at all. They argued that the VR’s ECU had the ability to pick up on how the car was being driven and change itself from Power to Economy or vice versa accordingly. The marketing team on the other hand argued that the punters buying the car wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between the 4L60E and the previous TH700 if there was no switch. The rest of course is history.
Yeah the previous VN-VP TH7OO Commodores had PRNDD21.When I had my VN with TH7OO around town I would put it in Drive, the D above 2nd gear and only put it into the top D with blue circle around it when I was on the highway doing 1OOkmh
Series 2 from September 1994. Most of the changes were mainly cosmetic and interior - new LH exterior mirror (wide angle), 2x twin jet windscreen washers, Series II badges beneath the indicators and the Executive sedan got a new boot garnish in red. Interior changes included new interior mirror attached to the windscreen rather than screwed into the roof, new rear seat belts that matched the front, front passenger seat lumbar support in all models except Executive, vanity mirror in front passenger sunvisor on all models except Executive, and new trim patterns for Executive and Acclaim.
