Hi Ssom. If you, or anyone else, is looking at buying a Vectra (and there are some very good qualities about them) PM me and I can let you know what to look for. I know I have been harsh on the Vectra but I let my parents buy one but did make sure that the car had all the reworks available and that the module programming was up to date. They had it for 18 months with no problems and then bought a brand new VVTi Astra 5 door for my mum .

BTW - I don't know why the yanks get so up tight about the 1.8 Astra. It goes plenty well enough for a run-about. The 2.0l T goes much better though .
