1988 Vauxhall Senator review from UK and Ireland
"Elephant's dangleys.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The exhaust was full of holes, but luckily I work for a tyre company, and brought a new one for 120 quid.
Fuel tank leak. When its costs 50 quid to fill up, you don't want a fuel leak. 80 quid.
Interior light won't turn off.
N/S rear electric window inoperative.
Fuel gauge very tempremental.
General comments?
Although it has its problems, it is a great motor, that doesn't hang around when stuck behind Sunday drivers.
It handles like a boat, but woops ass wherever you go.
I want a 24 valve next.
