You have my sympathy mate buying a Vectra. I've suffered with mine and was glad to get rid of it after only 10 months on the road as a Taxi. They aren't built for Taxi driving. |

I've been running mine, plated, for more than 3 years now. Sensible driving and regular servicing helps. Every car will develop faults of one kind or another. Live with it, get it fixed and get on with the job. Confidence in the car is such that daughter and son-in-law are buying it when I'm fit enough to go to look for a replacement. |

You have my deepest sympathies, this engine is known to eat dual mass flywheels, worse if its an estate. Biggest pile of poo I ever owned. A real money pit. |
