1992 Vauxhall Senator 24 valve review from UK and Ireland
"An executive fully kitted out express train"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Electric ariel failed to retract fully.
Warning light came on showing a suspension problem.Found out there was a problem with the front nearside suspension. the car was under warranty and the dealer replaced all four units.
Cracked sump at 88500 miles. apparently very expensive to replace so I have had the sump plug and the crack from it sealed with a chemical metal compound. this will mean have to suck the oil out at servicing.
General comments?
I have been extremely pleased with the car from all aspects with the exception of the dealers. The mechanics do not seem to know how to service the car properly. I have got over this problem by employing an ex Police mechanic who dealt with Senators all the time.
Average fuel consumption since 1992 has worked out at 24.6 mpg!!!
