Holden Problems

It would just be guessing to try and diagnose it from what you have told us, so I would suggest you have an auto electrician check the trailer wiring, and once that’s eliminated, which I’m sure it will be, run another diagnostic check. It’s more likely to be a faulty sensor sending an erroneous message to the car’s computer.

Holden updated the Colorado for the 2017 model year so it will likely be a few years before the current generation is updated with large scale improvements.

As a private sale it would be worth $2000-$3000, but the trade would value it at $500-$2000.

First, pull the radiator overflow hose out of the side of the coolant reservoir fill neck and turn the steering wheel to the hard left to get room to get tools in. Laying on the ground undo the two screws on the front of the reservoir and screw on the frame rail, and you can then remove the reservoir.

Like any car, there is potential for Holden Captivas to have mechanical or electrical problems. Modern cars are full of delicate electrical sensors and complex mechanical components, and if not properly serviced or maintained, even generally reliable cars can suffer breakdowns. You can help protect yourself by having a professional pre-purchase inspection carried out, and buying a vehicle with low mileage and a full service history.

Sales of the Equinox have been slow, even Holden admits that. Just 364 were sold in February, which left the Equinox trailing the class-leading Mazda CX-5 by a huge 1817 and leaving it in 11th place for the month.

Of those you list I would go for the Mitsubishi ASX. You could also try the Kia Sorento or Mazda CX-5.

Holden's Captiva wasn't a locally produced vehicle. Instead it was made by the Korean General Motors brand Daewoo in their home country and imported as a complete vehicle.

Removing the grille from an RG-series Holden Colorado is fairly simple. First, get hold of a T20 Torx bit and a 10mm socket. There are seven fasteners on top of the grille, which you can remove by opening the bonnet. To remove the entire front bumper assembly, you need to remove the T20 Torx bits holding the bumper to the inner guards on the left and right (in front of the wheels). There are also three 10mm bolts holding the bottom of the bumper to the undertray which need to be removed, before slowly prying the bumper away from the car. Take note of a clip under the outside edge of each headlight, prying those clips away slowly.

Since its introduction in 2006 Holden has sold the Daewoo-designed and built Captiva crossover SUV in both front-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. Although they have sold a range of different engine and transmission options there has never been a rear-wheel drive layout offered.
