1993 Vauxhall Calibra 16v review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cylinder head became "porous" after 32k, Vauxhall don't want to know about problem! New head £2000 plus fitting.
Beware of emulsion in expansion tank. It can be reworked by re-sleeving the oil galleries.
General comments?
Excellent car despite head problem!
