Things are not going well in terms of my Calais V engine failure situation.
Very late and unhappy. There have been some very dark days where I wonder what to do and wonder why as a Kiwi I should have to make do with a puny 3 year 100,000 km warranty despite having suffered the profoundly shocking engine failure at 800 km's when everyone in Australia gets a 5 year unlimited mileage warranty. It doesn't seem fair or reasonable...and really isn't good enough.
If Holden are serious about selling their vehicles in N.Z. they need to give Kiwi's the same warranty as Australians get. There are many marque's over here already giving a 5 year warranty such as Ford, Toyota (provided you get your vehicle serviced with them), Kia, BMW, and Mazda to name a few.
