Default Whats the fault with the new Holdens???

A friend drove down to Melbourne the other day from Albury, he saw 6 new Holdens on the road with the bonnets up, he then drove back to Albury 2 nights ago and saw 2 more on the side of the road.

Has anybody heard any thing about whats wrong with them??
(Apart from being a **** box Holden)

The cars might have been being tested by engineers for all you know.

The only known recall issues I have heard of have been seat belts and the V8's with a small bit of fuel hose, other then that who knows.

Also they are a Holden, lets not go slanging them for no real reason please, just pointless.

I was speaking to some holden technicians and they were saying the alloytec has got an engine whine going on it. Think it was something to do with the fans. They said it seemed pretty common
