Ranter Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 This weekend out by the airport, I think you need to print the catalogue to enter but I'm not sure on that. Plenty of minters by the looks and you can get a tour while you are there. Wouldn't think there would be any bargains but might be worth checking out. This place is usually only open for car clubs I think so a good chance to have a nosey. http://www.watsonsauctions.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazy_rich Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 oh really? must have been a common fault, I found that if the tripmeter was reset it'd start counting again until a certain point, usually around 160km, then it would jam again. I can remember back in the late 90's the peugeot dealer in town got done for fitting tripmeter jamming devices to new cars they sold to skimp on servicing. Christ knows how they thought they would get away with it, maybe holden dabbled in a similar scheme? still cracks me up that that heap made it into some dudes car collection... i mean wtf... seriously.... vk's freakin rule. is yours injected? that thing did some sweet top gear one wheel burnouts.

fuel Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 a friend of mine has a VK which the odometer is jammed also - it must be a common fault indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzsubbie Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 That leone only had 50,000km on the clock.. I was kean but I had checked it out a few weeks before the auction. It had been left out side for to long tho.. rust bubbling around the windscreen and a few other places. Its a pitty the NZ assembled subs of the time werent rust proofed proply. They just sprayed by hand the places where they could reach. They installed a propper rust proofing plant about 18 months before the closed the assembly plant.
