1996 vauxhall vectra :sad:

 

bigest pice of junk ever made paid 5k for it and then spent 4k trying to keep it on the road what ever could go wrong did :roll:

 

final straw drove 2 miles to local B & Q parked up went shopping came out started it oil light stayed on turned it off checked oil full

 

got it towed home turned out the oil pump drive had snaped ( good job I wasnt doing 70 on the motorway )

 

new oil pump £700 fitted

 

sold it 10 days later for a grand :sad:

 

I had a '99 Vauxhall Astra was also a sack of crap - was reliable for about 11 months then the rad popped, then the oil pump went (dumped the contents of the sump on the road...... :oops: )

 

Steam cleaned the engine bay and traded it in for my Focus, got £3k trade in which was £2,999 more than it was worth - that was a good day :D
