Opening the Vectra bonnet is like opening Pandora's box.


All that is left is hope.

We had a V6 3.0CDti Veccy for 18 months, great car.  Vauxhall just doesn't do it for me though, first car I had was a Vauxhall proper cool though didn't run very well

They sell well so can't be half bad.

To be fair it's only the second thing that's gone wrong  :lipsrsealed:

And driving it for 40 miles with the battery light on just helped finish the alternator off  :evil:

After losing the heater, radio, abs warning light, soon followed by the power steering I knew the end was nigh so detoured into the petrol station for that very reason mikey

You do well when its a Costa! Made the right choice to hang on with no ABS or power steering. Although i am partial to the Wild Bean cafe's at BP. Do come across a lot of service stations on my day to day. lol

Well I hope it can be refurbed for you mate, I think they're the same engine/alternator as the Zafira and that went at 90k and cost £850 to sort  :lipsrsealed:

We have an estate Vectra at work and it's absolutley terrible in every way.

I took an Astra out in the spring and that was quite good though.
