1996 Vauxhall Monterey LTD review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent towing vehicle and family bus"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
ABS warning light came on once whilst driving in heavy rain. Sensor had got wet. Once dried, worked OK, no problems since.
Motor on electric sunroof packed up.
Electric aerial stopped working.
General comments?
Huge amounts of initial torque and sprints up to cruising speed.
Pulls my caravan with ease and very stable.
Loads of cabin space, but no lumbar adjustment on front seats.
Split loading rear door brilliant.
Lots of brake dust on front wheels after long trips so suspect car uses pads quite quickly.
