G’day – I have a 2005 VZ Crewman Storm, 45,000km and been well cared for (I recently purchased 2nd hand).

I have a problem regarding a “backlash” come “rattle” type noise that happens when changing between gears 1-3. It’s a 6spd.

It ONLY happens once the car warms up, for the first 10-15min or so it’s perfect…. no noise at all. The warmer it gets, the worse it gets.

I’ve had the diff replaced under warranty – made no difference.

Any suggestions?

Hey Blokes,
I have owned an 06 Crewman for over a year now. I have read lots of bad things bout the early ones on Complaints Corner and am getting a bit worried. Mine has been good so far except for wobbly front discs (fixed under warranty) and a noise at the back on bumps which can not be found. Any other probs, will post.

I’m thinking about buying a 2007 Crewman and putting LPG on it. Would appreciate advice.

I owned a VR ute. I traded it in on a Kia.
Worst thing I ever did.
Yes, groaning power steering pump..so did my Dad’s HQ Premier.
Plastic fuel filler flap didn’t fit and used to sag but the crappy Kia I’ve got sometimes the door doesn’t open, remote release, pull toggle, nothing happens!
Misaligned glove box lid…you could post a letter in my Kia…
And you know what, my Kia was built 9 years after my 93 Holden!

I also have the same problem with my Glove Box in the Crewman S. I also placed in a complaint about the fuel cap cover, and that it has two problems:-
1. That it did not align properly and moved around.
2. Did not seal properly and if closed too hard, it would actually over close, going past the seal and I have to use my key or something simliar to open it.
Also I have had a problem with the bushes, in the rear suspension. They squeak constantly.
Let me know what you think
Cheers

I just took delivery of my new 08/07 built Crewman S. I noticed on some occations when turning I hear a clunk. And my glove box isn’t alligned properly.
When I asked the dealer they told me that they thats the way they are!
Could anyone else that own a VZ crewman tell me any different?

I have a 97′ VS Series II berlina & yep, had to have the rear main seals replaced recently, also yep the power steering makes a groaning sound when you turn the wheel allthough this is greatly reduced when you smother the thing in grease however that only lasts for a few weeks before you have to do it again.

Have you tried disconecting the ( – ) termanal over night to see if the battery is still flat? There is alot of complants about the Holden battery drain.
