1996 Vauxhall Vectra GLS review from UK and Ireland
"Gutted about the electrical problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering pump fell off.
Alarm faulty.
Central locking faulty.
Battery drainage.
Cam shaft sensor gone.
General comments?
Gutted by the faults and the repair prices are a bit high. I've been told of many electrical faults on the earlier models.
When cold, the lights seem to dip, and the indicators when used some times knock all the power of the dash, causing loss of instruments and radio.
A set of leads are around £120.00 from Vauxhall, and a set from Halfords didn't fit tidy.
Does anyone know anything about the electrical problems the Vectra has faced?
