Ron you've had some rotten luck with that car.

You should leave the keys and rego papers on the passenger's seat and abandon it in a street far from you.

Just walk away and never turn back.

I can PM you my address if you need help to remove your personal belongings from it and I'll give you a lift to the train station free of charge.

Rotten luck is an understatement ;)

Here is list of issues prior to this :

-Rocker cover oil leak
-Crossover pipe coolant leak
-Rocker cover leak again
-Engine replaced due to piston slap
-Leaking muffler replaced
-Harmonic balancer replaced

I hope it's not complicated issue.

On positive note, the car is under warranty until Oct 2021...

I still love this pos weirdly

That could turn out to be a costly item - could be canbus/ harness or the TCM itself. Good that you are still under warranty. Let’s see if Holden tries to pull a fast one on you.

Certainly glad it's under warranty

Definitely sound like your car was built on a Monday following a long weekend boozer... :eek:

Interesting that reverse camera also does not work. Could be shifter mechanism/switch or however they put it together....

Do the reverse lights work? I suspect not?

Check the transmission fuse. May need replacing?
