Re: Vectra C
Yes what engine? I hope you'll keep us posted here on the misery or otherwise of running the thing.
Re: Vectra C
1.9 8v 120 version.
Filled it as well as no onboard trip display. Not that I trust any of them for mpg fully.
2nd C, 7th Vectra overall. I like them, does what it says on the tin. They have their foibles as do all, but I've never had to fit 12,737,484 injectors and code them, which stops me buying a Mondane.

Re: Vectra C
Kyle (number one son/annoying useless bastard) scrapped the one I won on AS in a raffle I didn't even enter! I didn't want it plus it was in the midlands so far, far away. However, it came at just the right time for him as the Jag had just done its coolant pipes in the middle of the Vee and the MR2 was in bits, yet again. He drove it for 18 months until the Boris ran out, spent nothing on it, never cleaned it or serviced it did thousands of miles in it and hated it from day one the ungrateful little fucker!
He scrapped it last month after it sitting unloved.untaxed/unmoted on his driveway for a moth or two and got a couple of hundred quid from Cartakeback! I thought it was a decent car and worthy of saving but the Jag is fixed and due to working from home...
They seem like decent cars to me but then, I have no taste.

Re: Vectra C
GM made one ride and handle like a mk3 Mondeo but they backed away from the dynamics. A good buy. The Insignia fucked us over at launch. This was a good, solid car.
