We all love our Commodores to death, but i thought i would start a thread about some things about your Commodore that really piss you off.
I'll start by saying that in my VS when im driving at night, i go to go around a roundabout or turn a corner, i put my blinker on and the high beams flick on! That happens all the time, i wish the blinker lever was stronger, it flicks back and forwards too easily, i always end up blinding some poor bugger when i put my blinker on.
The other thing that annoy's me is i can never get a comfortable temperature in the cab. Im either always too cold or too hot, the thing is, if the dial is on the C (cold) it does'nt matter if you turn it up to the end of the blue, it is still just as cold. To take the chill off, you need to turn it into the middle of the blue and red, then i get too hot. Anyone else have this problem?

i hate:
the look
that way it handles
the way it changes gear
the lack of power
the fact it overheats at really stupid times, then at others when it should over heat it doesnt
umm, thats about it really.
For my VY, the most annoying things would be the diff clunk I get every now and then, a piece of plastic on my dash somewhere that vibrates which sends me though the roof and also the ugly green dash lights.
EDIT: Ahh I just remembered, another annoying factor is that the car won't start if its not in drive! heaps gooood
with the cab temps i set mine to in the middle of blue and red but i crack the window open half an inch
Never enough traction in my VN V8...![]()

anoyying as hell rattels when driving along!
In my VY the little stash dpartment in front of the gear stick doesnt function propperly, wont open when i want it to, only when it wants too.
as previously said. god damn water when wipers goin and window down.
also a rattle comin from the rear shelf somewhere. and the fact that i know its a repairable writeoff!
gotta be water in window, pia, Cheers Bob.
what do i hate the most? the metal on metal click in the front suspension i can't locate to fix. either that or the fact that every time i fix an exhaust leak another one pops up. methinks these headers are fkd

In my vy,
1) Its the A piller thats in they way when turning right. Dread to see how bad it is in the VE's.
2) The diff clunk from driveline slack.
3) The fact that god damn stereo doesnt have fast forward or reverse. if i listen to any trance or whatnot where its one 80min long song. FAAARRRKKK!!!!!.
4) The headlights that might as well be candles for the good they do at night. Even with the brighest bulbs i could find its pathetic. High beam is awesome though. go figure.
5) Not coming stock with LSD, stupid single spinner shit. Its an S pac. For sports My previous 9 year old AU XR6 had an lsd as standard for heavens sake.
/rant
Oh yeah
6) the new and annoying squeak coming from the front passenger suspension.
i forgot.......cheap arsed swaybar links!!!!!
Thing has been a long battle since i bought the car, got to the point where i nearly burnt it to the ground for f**king up, but I,ve put to much money and efford into it im not willing to get rid of it and with big things planned for the future, im sticking with it for a longtime yet
