Vectra rebuild thread. ive started so ill finish

[bub2006]

It is a properly lovely car as well .. only thing is insurance was a pig for me

My insurance company are wankers to be fair.

[bub2006]

I've had 2 214 rovers,1 414 and 1 600. Loved them all.

[oldcars]

Ken's rover looks class in the photos i have seen. All for £350 buy it.

[bub2006]

I do like it if I'm honest

[purplebargeken]

It is a lovely car and it would be even better if a replacement drivers door card could be obtained

 

It runs beautifully and despite it 'only' being the 1.4 it is a flyer

[bub2006]

I know the engines in these are sound if maintained right.

[bub2006]

Any photos please?

[purplebargeken]

No probs mate.

The meet up photos are the most recent. No McD wrappers to be soon now :)

[bub2006]

Is it ex cav rover? If so I seen it up close at sf last year.

[bub2006]

Bollocks no pas. I would struggle with my bad left side parking etc I think

[bub2006]

Bit gutted now!

[Bobthebeard]

Thanks Tom but I'm going to see what's occuring with a scrap yard local to me. Right. I'm in need. Has anyone a medium sized car really cheap? I've considered my options and after being stuck in today I can't tolerate it and with weather being shite it's when I can get to get things together for car. I've considered tons fiesta but it's too small and also ken's mondeo but due to it being a second car I don't need something as big for a temporary measure. Really pissed off i can't insure the bx as that would have been ideal!

Owing to a temporary decreasing space at Beard Towers my Honda Prelude is available for short term borrowing use if needed? Max length of borrowing 3 months... Promise to look after it and not sit it on a wall etc...

[bub2006]

I think insurance company will not be happy at that bob,large engine isn't it? Tanks for the offer though

[purplebargeken]

It isn't that bad really. I have arthritis of the spine and I can manage it. PAS does make it easier though. 

[bub2006]

Ok. It's my grip with my left side being weaker than right mate.

[purplebargeken]

Ah, ok mate. Yes, PAS would be best then

[bub2006]

I use palm of my right hand a lot when parking etc. Lot easier for me

[beko1987]

Cheap 1.4 zx is what you need!

[bub2006]

Something cheap until I can get vectra parts sourced mate. I'd love a diesel though. The one outside is awesome. It honestly is. Just wish I could use it!

Have you tried a knob?

 

[bub2006]

It's in the veccy boot with a screw missing

[JohnK]

Have you tried a knob?

 

You dirty bastard.

[Cheggers]

If you can park a car with your knob you should join the circus, not Autoshite.

I just proper LOLed at that and - on explaining - got THE LOOK from Domestic Management! 

[bub2006]

Don't even tempt me with the proton! Always likevthem since my aunt had a k plate 1.5 se. None about now though. Just really need to get sorted. My mood not great today being stuck in.

[nacho man]

Bub your Derby way ain't you? Have you tried autovaux in sandiacre for the vectra bits, ten mins from Albert looms straight down the 52, I find them a bit pricey sometimes but as the name suggests have shed loads of Vauxhall stuff on the shelfs off breakers.

Not tried them. I know allvox in Somercotes are pricey. Megavaux in long Eaton not so bad. Trouble I have now is I can't get anywhere to get bits,can't get tools to do job either. I'm kippered all roads!

[Dave_Q]

Yo, try footman james for insurance, they will do anything over 20 years as a classic so should be quite cheap on the BX.

[bub2006]

Tried them all dink
