Ones I have found
1. Fuel gaudge up the creek is not accurate
2. Boot dumps water on your head
3. A lot of parts not zink coated or even painted and start to rust at an early stage
4. Boot stop rubbers hold water under neath and rust starts
5. Dirt and water sit in the wells in the engine bay
6. Plastic bumper on VX Berlinas continue to pop out dont line up grrrrr
7. Painted sufaces (excepting outside body) are a very thinly coated and will not be long before corrosion takes affect
just a few that I have found

Dash Bin - Replacing a Broken Latch
Ok after a few PM's asking me how this is done, thought I might place a few pics and steps up of how to replace
this latch. Sorry for the limited pics, was running out of battery power, but hopefully you get the general idea.
Pic1.
Open up the dash bin, and in the left hand corner you will see a pin. Remove this pin, it simply just slides
out of place.
Pic2.
Once the pin has been removed, apply pressure in the direction the arrow is pointing, and at the same time
pull towards your body. Dont apply too much pressure tho as the compartment will slide out easy enough to
gain access to the Latch.
Pic3.
Once the compartment is out, this is where the latch sits, push the latch out of position and replace with
a new latch (Can buy them at Holden $12).
Pic4.
Latch been removed from the dash bin assembly.
Now just reverse the procedure, push the compartment back in to place until you hear it clicking back in to
place and push the pin back in to location, and you're done.

Damn Dashes
There wasnt a section in there under electrical about dashes
By dashes im talkin bout the instrument cluster ive been havin problems with it for a while usually it goes within seconds but has been stayin on longer lately and the holden dealership have no idea what it is.
In relation to the boot and emptying water.
Im assuming you all have spoilers??
If this is correct change the gaskets for the spoiler thats what i had to do to stop mine from leaking.
By memory they were $17 from the dealership.
