2001 Vauxhall Vectra LS review from UK and Ireland
"Good, cheap to run, reliable family car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 55,000 miles the Air bag warning light came on - it was the wiring in the switch under the passenger seat. Fixed under warranty.
At 72,000 miles the Diesel Pump Leak-off pipes perished and had to be replaced. Sourced pipes from a dealer for £10.
Struts that hold the boot open wore and didn't hold very well at 120,000 miles.
Air con needs re-gassing at 147,000 miles.
General comments?
Fairly quick for a Diesel.
Excellent on long motorway journeys.
Good fuel economy.
Not the best handling car in the world, but it's not a sports car!!!
