1998 Vauxhall Vectra CD review from UK and Ireland
"Keeps the AA in business"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In the three months that I have had this car I have had a new steering rack, wiper motor, 'cam valve'!? and washer return valve replaced.
Both headlights have blown, side light, dashboard illumination replaced.
Countless brake and rear side lamps have gone.
Remote control central locking serviced.
Alarm serviced.
The engine has in the last month, developed an alarming knocking sound. Thank the stars that this is a company car!!!
General comments?
Why are Vauxhalls so bad when it comes to the electrics? The only good thing I can think of with Vauxhalls are their engines. Usually they're pretty good. I just must have a Friday afternoon car.
I am getting shot of it now.
