1996 Vauxhall Monterey Diamond review from UK and Ireland
"Very reliable and a pleasure to drive; 10/10"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New shockers all round.
New tyres all round.
Changed the auto transmission fluid and the power steering fluid as well.
Also changed the CV gators on both sides inner and outer.
General comments?
The leather in the 4x4 is very good.
The ride is brilliant.
Put the 4x4 in power drive and it's quick; very quick.
I also had an LPG multi valve system fitted at a cost of £2000, with the 70 litre tank fitted under the back of the 4x4; the LPG is 40p a litre.
