2000 Vauxhall Vectra LS review from UK and Ireland
"A fine all round family vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front wipers stopped on the screen between normal to high speed wipe.
Rear tyres wearing unevenly on the inner edges.
Rear screen misted heavily in damp weather.
When I start the car without touching the throttle the engine idles at 1250 RPM until the throttle is pressed and then RPM drops to normal.
General comments?
Generally happy with the vehicle and it's an improvement on the previous model.
The condensation problem was traced to a loose rear wiper arm which also happened on my 1996 model and the wiper motor was replaced to solve that problem.
The engine over-rev remains untraced without fault codes showing.
The uneven wear I have traced to the wheel trims not staying secure.
