1997 Vauxhall Vectra LS review from UK and Ireland
"Nice try Vauxhall, try again!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1. Steering rack leak (had to be replaced).
2. Tacometer failed.
3. Both headlights failed at the same time.
4. Turbo pipe blew.
5. Indicator stalk failed.
6. Interior light comes on while driving and stays on when the car is locked.
7. Reversing switch on the gearbox failed.
8. Handbrake has to be constantly adjusted.
9. Uneven tyre wear.
10. On going !!!!
General comments?
What a lemon of a car, it's a money pit.
Underpowered, full of niggly little faults - none very bad on their own, but put them all together and it's a pile of very expensive rubbish.
Will be dumping the car very shortly.
