1995 Vauxhall Calibra SE review from UK and Ireland
"Sexy looking coupe!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I got the car cheaper than market value as I knew it needed a lot of work.
So far...
Reconditioned Cylinder Head, Head Gasket, 2 x Cam Shafts, Cam belt, alternator belt, cam belt rollers and tensioner, Valve Seals, New Cat, Back box, Air-Con switch, Radiator, Water Pump, Plugs, Leads, Coolant temp sender unit.
But I still love it.
General comments?
I haven't had the car very long only a few months, but it's running a lot better than when I first got it.
Still a bit of work to do - the engine management warning light is on every now and then. It's going into Vauxhall to be tested on TECH.
The car is really quick. Handling could be better, but hey, the car turns heads.
Chicks love the leather. + heated seats.
