its fun and games i know, but once serviced, timing gear etc, its had a clutch, rest of car is sound. bar the air con. itll be reliable i can count on it as the major stuff has all been covered
i still have the corsa's unless somone offers the right money for them, ultimatly i want a s14a still, but that will come when the corsa or both have gone, this vectra is to punt about it, collect car bits in, etc etc and it wont matter if i get it dirty etc

got it back clutch still feels gay, but it drives so thats a plus.
next up on the invoice it suggests the headgasket is poorly? i-e misfire when cold then it goes when warm ??

if not ill be changin the headgasket and timing gear pretty soon
