1996 Vauxhall Vectra LS review from UK and Ireland
"Smooth fast cheap and reliable and good looking"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought this car with out an engine as the owner be for me had the timing belt snap on him witch was more than likely his own fault due to not having this replaced at the correct times through the cars life.
But I bought a new engine for it installed it and couldn't get it started due to a bad earth on the (ECU) I took it to bits and cleaned and done all the earth points and it started first time after that.
I don't as such have any bad points to write about this car apart from it has a lot of sensors on witch I don't like, but if we didn't have this modern tecnology with electrics the cars today wouldn't be as good in every way.
General comments?
I will be honest with everyone about this car I love this car to bits.
Iv had it now for 6 months OK its 1.8 its not got the best fuel consumption, but I don't personal think it is that bad for the comfort and power of the car.
The handling of this car is unreal it sticks to the road well as did my cavvy.
I do think it is an improvment on the cavvy by far its generally a nice car I feel on top of the rest when I'm driving round in this car.
