Cavcraft Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 Oh yes. Not sure (as haven't checked yet) but think it's the 120, rather than 150. There's a creak when steering, hoping that's just a broken spring. Spare set of (17") SRi alloys came with, but the treads are shot or they'd have gone onto the 150 hatch and I'd have kep the horrible ones on the estate for spares as they have new tyres. rantingYoof 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rantingYoof Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Spring snapping is definitely a Vauxhall thing. SnrYoof's Signum decided to snap its off-side front spring while parked up between a commute home and the next morning. The list it had was quite spectacular.

Dave_Q Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 That's a weird sticker - anyone know why it would have such a thing? Vectra estates are handy things when they work - got to be getting on for the biggest available estate bootRE the sticker, ex-plod maybe? Perhaps a warning when sold off that it has gun cabinets that are normally only fitted to Elite trim, despite being a Design or whatever?

twosmoke300 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Our ex fire service vectra c had one of those stickers . The only extra equipment / features I found were 1 - rock hard ride2 - quick break springs3 - different warning light every day pack AMC Rebel, Lacquer Peel, The Moog and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bren Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I looked at the bootspace in the mondeo - vectra has far more - the mondeo looked only marginally bigger in the back than a focus. Ours has the " what fault code this week?"pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendry Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Going to hazard a guess here at it being like most Vectras, ex daily rental/fleet cars, which if anything like the "Energy" spec one my old man had from 7 months old had a graphic info display with multi function trip computer and warning messages and check control with buttons on the wiper stalk which was never even an option on the Energy spec, but all the ones in that batch supplied to the fleet hire company had them, no other ones did, they just had the basic TID display. Also none of the ones in that batch even had a 12v socket next to the ashtray, some Vectras had the cig lighter, others the 12v under the flap, this just a blanking plate but you still got 2 Ashtrays weirdly.

Cavcraft Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 And...the 406 has moved on. I'll miss that car, it's been brilliant and pulled me out of all kinds of trouble. It's jump started other cars, towed them back and hauled my fat arse all over the shop without complaint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 Just checked on the MOT thing online and the 406 went straight through a test this morning with no advisories. I sold it to a local trader who needed a motor with a tow bar for a couple of weeks, I bet he's a happy bunny now!

Dave_Q Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I imagine Billy is as likely to swap his Vectra for a Passat as he is to do anything with this other than rob the battery and fuel and weigh it immediately. Cavcraft and DeeJay 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share Posted May 16, 2017 I reckon so, you can usually tell by the amount of people offering the 'best price' for scrappers. I weighed some odd bits of metal (old hospital type beds) the other day and got £38 or something. KruJoe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share Posted May 16, 2017 All legit, was asked to clear them from a special needs school. *Edit: scrap less than I thought, been offered £115 Anyhow, drove the Focus home before. Impressive sweep at rear seat roulette, I marked it down five points for not having a single item of cutlery, and lost two more for it only having a pen, not a crayon. Late points save though due to the amount of McDonald's chips, some Lego and a couple of broken Happy Meal toys. Pretty impressive haul of £3.18 in sticky money too...
