Not sure if that's the new engine or not, but two of my mates had Vectra diesels when they came out and will never have them again. :sad:

Heavy hit for new tyres £110 plus. Clutch gone at 70k £650 plus time off road. New brakes every 20k. Nice wee badge in the middle of steering wheel though :wink:
