1998 Vauxhall Monterey Diamond review from UK and Ireland
"Great car, crap badge (Vauxhall)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing really. I am stuck on how to change the gear box oil. I have a drain plug, but cannot find a filler point. Some people in the motor industry say it should have a gear box dip stick, but there definitely is not one. It is an auto box.
General comments?
This car starts fine and runs well.
It has not broke-down in the 4 yrs I have had it.
I have not yet changed the plugs at all yet.
I had it converted to gas 4 yrs ago and this makes a great car economical to run at 30p per litre.
Starts every time and being an auto is really easy and comfortable to drive.
