1998 Vauxhall Vectra LS review from UK and Ireland
"Built by a Ford Spy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Both Camshaft & Crankshaft Sensors need to be replaced twice.
Petrol Leak.
Exhaust Manifold Gas kit and many more things.
General comments?
My first car was a Vauxhall Cavalier and I've owned another three since, I loved them, they were full of character. Then I made a BIG mistake and bought a Vectra, the car has been nothing but trouble, Its unreliable, uncomfortable and very, very thirsty.
I would have taken on Jeremy Clarkson any time to defend Vauxhall, but after owning a Vectra I'm on his side. The car is a Shed and not even worth talking about.
