1998 Vauxhall Vectra SRi 140 review from UK and Ireland
"A bargain, but you only get what you pay for"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My car has had two new exhausts.
The camshaft sensor has failed.
The crankshaft sensor has failed.
The idle control valve has failed.
The car also goes through bulbs like nothing on earth.
General comments?
The performance of the car is actually not too bad.
It does handle quite well.
But the car just lacks any excitement.
I bought the car after owning a Cavalier Gsi, I was vrey impressed with the Cavalier and thought the Vectra would be a worthy upgrade, but I should've waited, and saved for a Vectra Gsi instead.
