1992 Vauxhall Senator 24V Police Special review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator £30 replacement from breaker.
Front elec windows on both sides rattle, aggravated due to brake in plus lots of slamming by the Bill.
'Hunting on Acceleration' - suspect Lambda Sensor or distributor drive (arcing on replacement cap/rotor arm). Rust damage on rear wheel arches.
However at 215,000 miles these faults are extremely minor. Engine otherwise amazingly clean and smooth for this mileage, no oil leaks, no pas or brake fluid leaks. Down to maintainance regardless of cost by Police.
General comments?
Vauxhall will not make a better car, ever.
From the other entries, glad this model has not got cruise control/air-con/cd-player/heated seats etc..etc..
Economy not bad for the performance.
Would like a CD after a thorough investigation that all toys are working/mileage is genuine.
Vauxhall dealers do more damage than good. Bad attitude, mechanics have intellect of single celled lifeforms, if you want anything doing on your Senator, Do it yourself! Or get someone with a brain to do it.
