1998 Vauxhall Tigra Chequers review from UK and Ireland
"Not great! Not impressed!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Speed sensor has been replaced through fault.
Top half of engine re-built due to sticking valves.
Recurrent engine management light.
General comments?
This seems to be a common fault running through the Vauxhall range. The main dealer who fixed it, has admitted that there have been a number of Tigras who have had the same fault. Why is it that Vauxhall have still not rectified this fault, and yes I agree with the other people that it is extremely dangerous and scarey whilst driving by yourself.
