1997 Vauxhall Vectra LS review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Steering rack replaced.
Throttle body replaced.
Steering coupling replaced.
Crankshaft speed sensor replaced.
Handbrake linkage replaced.
General comments?
Most problems arose and were quickly sorted under warranty.
Only the Speed sensor failure caused a complete breakdown.
Fuel consumption has averaged 42mpg but there is a question mark against reliability.
Don't intend to buy Vauxhall next time.
