1986 Opel Kadett GL review from UK and Ireland
"Best money I every spent"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump went at 90000 miles or so.
Front brake disks eventually had to be replaced around the same time as the water pump.
General comments?
What a great car.
She did age a bit and things had to be replaced, but overall she was a great car.
She got oil and plugs every 6000miles and a new set of points every 12000miles.
This seemed to keep her happy.
Good acceleration, but at the end of the day only a 1.2 under the hood!
