I have fixed the problem. :drink:

I have just replaced my fan belt and I got it installed all by a mechanic all for $60.

The old fan belt pretty worn out and this apparantly made the electrical current not as strong as it should be, that it why sometimes I had a problem with the car starting, and running a bit ruff.

I kid you not, now that I have replaced the fan belt, it revs out heaps better, the sound is long gone, my car is running sweet.

Took her for a drive down Mandurah on the weekend, not a single prob!

I am now once again one Holden owning happy chappy!

Funny thing out of the three mechanics I went to, only one was close to what it could be, I know which mechanic I'll be going to next time theres a prob.

That should have been an easy pick up for a mechanic as the belt tensioner has a mark on it to show when the belt is due for replacemant.
