Significant Technical Input
'Tis true I haven't much experience with Holden. One thing I do know is that their 'Family II' 4cylinder engine is probably the worst engine I have ever worked on. They were/are built for Chevrolet (India), Daewoo, Suzuki and Isuzu Rodeo. Not sure if they had enough faith to put them in anything wearing a Holden badge. Isuzu can't get away from them fast enough. If I had a customer come in with one that had overheated I didn't even have to open the hood. One call to the zone manager and I had instant authorzation for a replacement engine. Nobody cared if it had a leaking hose, stuck thermostat, whatever. Just dump a new one in and happy trails.
