1997 Vauxhall Vectra dl review from UK and Ireland
"OK if you have a large bank balance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
3 gearbox's
2 airmass meters. before 100.000 miles
2 power steering racks by 120.000 miles.
6 pairs anti roll bar bushes.
2 power steering pumps
2 air return systems on front manifold.
Passenger door hanging off, weld poor.
Oil leaks are normal.
4 air pumps very poor service and many other problems to write here
2 master clutch cylinders.
General comments?
The older Cavalier was a better car.
The Vectra is just a load of rubbish. It is a car well worth giving to Jeremy Clarkson.
I cannot understand why Vauxhall wouldwant to change a good car for this load of useless junk.
I did have two Vectras and in the space of 18 months my accountant showed me the cost in repair bills. Just over 7.000 pounds.
