1995 Opel Astra GL review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?

Blanket interference on the radio.
Camshaft oil seal.
Paint peeled off wheel trims.
Thermostat failed twice.
Both rear brake cylinders leaked.
Contamination of the brake fluid by water.
Oil pump gasket failed twice.
Bottom timing pulley came loose and damaged crank shaft.
Battery failure.
Indicater switch failed.
Loud drumming noise which can not be found and baffles blown in rear silencer.
General comments?
This is a Monday morning car. I have had several Opels before and they were excellent. The quality seems to have gone down since they started building them at the Vauxhall factories in England.
