Off to look at one for the mrs this afternoon for shipping the dog about and the work run. I had a brief look at it earlier and it seems immaculate, 03 plate with 50k on it at a very good price. Its got loads of extra's and was very comfy inside.
What I need to know is if there is anything in particular I need to look out for, I know they are crap on fuel from my Astra Coupe days but is there much else to worry about with them?(apart from the fact its a vectra... )
Cheers.

i beleive its the same engine thats in mine, so check for the timing chain rattle and the exhaust manifold rattle, (exhaust rattle goes after about 5 mins)
other than that they are pretty sound i think.

There is something about an injector recall for one of the chains.
