Holden Statesman 2000 Problems

YOURS is not the only car that has failed to respond to the fix. Others have been rebuilt more than once. I would recommend you reject the area manager's assessment and pursue a fix, probably another rebuild. I would doubt that the rattle will get any worse and it's unlikely to cause any major problem in the long term, but it sure will be an annoyance now that you hear it. I wouldn't be so concerned about the rattle, but I would be careful about high oil consumption. I would certainly get it fixed.

THE Statesman International was a special-edition model released on the regular Statesman and included several features not on the normal car. As Holden has told you, I don't believe they were individually numbered, but you can readily identify which car yours is by the VIN number.
