This Holden Commodore Sat Parked for a Year — Here’s What It Took to Run Right Again (Part 1)

This Holden Commodore VF had been parked up for about a year before the owner wanted to get it sorted and back on the road. It was running rough and had a few known issues, so I went through it properly — addressing things like servicing, valve cover leaks, engine mounts, spark plugs, and giving the car a full once-over to get it running right again. This video shows what can happen when a car sits unused for a long period, and what it actually takes to bring it back to a reliable, drivable state.
