1999 Vauxhall Tigra review from UK and Ireland
"I find the car very reliable and I do not regret buying it one bit"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My head gasket blew recently.
Why is everything such a big secret at vauxhall? They wanted £500 to do the head gasket, and there is no Haines manual on it. If you can fix engines, get your hands on an auto data book and do it yourself for a fraction of the price.
Got a few scratches on the doors. Found it hard to get the paint as all of the shops i went to said the colour wasn't out yet. I managed to get some mixed for me.
Air con is not working. Sounds like the fan is chaffing, will have to get this checked out. Im not too bothered about this though as i dont wish to use it.
Bulb blown in temperature control dial. Not a big problem, can easily be fixed.
General comments?
A very nippy little car, i probably think this as my previous car was a diesel Corsa.
Great to drive, nice smooth ride and comfortable - unless you are sitting in the back, but if you don't like it, its too bad because I bought the car for me and I love it!
Looks great.
