Do you have to post pictures of this, I've been wanting an Astra for a few months but I can't see me buying one due to all the common problems with them, don't wanna spend 6k on a car and for ever fixing it
Looks a lovely car and still think there the best looking diesels you can buy for about 6k

Easy but expensive if they break
What you mean early ones? Throw another spanner in the works make it harder for me to decide

I had little look round your's last weekend. Really very nice!
I also worry about the inlet manifold, and EGR buggering up all the time. Who at GM thought, ''I know lets get some engines from Fiat''
