1999 Vauxhall Astra LS review from UK and Ireland
"Anything you make it do, it will do it and put a smile on your face"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front shock absorber leaked.
Needed new cam tensioner.
Needed new alternator tensioner.
Two wheel bearings worn on rear.
General comments?
All the things what went wrong is understandable because its done a lot of miles how ever the engine still sounds like new.
If you can't afford a new shape Astra just do what I did and go for the high mileage, just as good, but a lot cheaper.
I was surprised how fast this car is for a 1.6 estate, I'm not proud of my self, but I have had this car up to 130mph on the motorway.
This car has room for the family and has a huge boot (on the estate).
Two things that I like most about this car is the anti-lock-brakes because it has saved me many of times and the air conditioning in the summer.
