Cylinder head block cracked at 47,000 miles. Dealer took 1 month to fix.
Connecting rod fracture, blowing a hole in the side of the engine at 55,000 miles.
2 new rear window wiper motors, still affecting the radio when in operation.
Cost of cylinder head repair - £2400.
Cost of the blown engine is more than the car is worth!
Vauxhall dealer and company offer no service.
I would never advise anybody to buy a Vauxhall.
I've had my first Tigra (1.4 97 P 40,000) for 9 months, it's been great until 2 weeks ago where I have had really bad heating problems and now the cylinder head is all warped and the gasket has blown. Looks like I'm in for some fun! Apparently stemmed from a faulty radiator fan.
