2000 Vauxhall Tigra review from UK and Ireland
"Gorgeous but problems!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought this car 3 weeks ago, and it was running perfect. It was £2790, which is dear enough for a W reg.
It only has 40,000 miles on it, but when I have been driving it, the engine light keeps coming on and it keeps juddering.
I have taken it back to the garage today, and they sent it to get fixed. They changed a seal on it and said that I wouldn't have any more problems; 2 hours later the engine light was back on and the temperature gauge was in the RED!! Dangerous!!
It will be going back tomorrow... no doubt I will get fobbed off and told there is no problem... until my warranty is finished next week.
Can anyone tell me what the problem might be, and if it is easy to repair? I don't have the money to be splashing out on new engines. If it carries on I'm hoping I have a case with Trading Standards.
