2000 Opel Astra review from France
"I thought it was a high performance bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The alternator needs to be replaced after just 55,000K
There has been a problem with the injector since I bought the car which no one can trace.
General comments?
I find it amazing that when the alternator breaks you lose power steering. Very dangerous feature.
