How reliable have yours been? Anything in particular to look out for if I'm going to view one? Thanks again.
No worries mate. Main things to watch out for:
Electrics: Check it revs smooth all the way through to the redline, the DIS packs can become faulty if the car has had a hard life.
Dont worry if it sounds "Tappety"(Valve Clatter) when it first starts, it goes once the engine has warmed up. Ive never found one that doesnt do it, and according to VX its normal (meh who am i to judge). Magnatec oil stops it =].
Other than that, they have been really reliable, not a major problem while owning either of them, apart from the front of other peoples cars being attracted to the boot =P
Will add anything else if i think of it , but as far as im aware just those bits, and the normal things you would look out for on a car =]
If theres anything else you want to know, just ask away, email is in trust. I am a self confessed Vectra fanboi =] Also if you want any interior pictures, or specifics , i have a folder full of them.
