Looking quite likely that I’ll do this but will need some prep first. Shite Ron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 It's a shame the same can't be said of the current range , we didn't bring any onto the fleet last year , still got Grandlands and Crossland off the road for engines and gearboxes , the amount of times I've seen " Low oil pressure " on a Vauxhall dashs in the last few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All down hill since unfortunately, although @AnnoyingPentium’s Vectra should probably be allowed into this club too but only just🙂 as the Mondeo was better.

The Mondeo was more appealing inside, but the Vectra had those mirrors, and does the "an car" thing quite well for me. danthecapriman and Wibble 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a brand new Mondeo Mk3 at the time and was given a new Vectra as a loan car when the Mondeo went in for accident repair (not my doing!), so could compare them directly. I have to admit, the Vectra felt more “solid” and better built but the Mondeo was a far better drive. I was disappointed, as I had the Senator even then and had hoped for better from the Vectra. Still, great to see yours still going strong! AnnoyingPentium 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wibble Posted April 15 Author Share Posted April 15 Have this evening moved the illegally parked Bini to safety, I hope. Battery on charge all weekend and 10 litres of fresh fuel. Even getting the battery in and out is a pain in the arse on these ffs! To be fair though, after what must be 18 months at least, it did start first push of the button. Didn’t want to move though, much smoke from the clutch due to stuck brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
