1993 Vauxhall Senator CD 24V review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent value and easy to service"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver's heated seat not working.
General comments?
The senator is a car which has all the right ingredients for a powerful cruiser, and the 24v variant is really potent. Although horses are not crammed under the bonnet, there is a hell of a lot of torque, which means that the car just goes on up to 150mph easily.
Just make sure the engine oil, transmission fluid and final drive fluid are checked every 10,000 miles and you're laughing.
If the car seems to surge forward when accelerating, check that the suspension is not on C (comfort) as this makes the car rock back and forth, giving the sensation to the driver that the car is surging forward.
