Ever since the water pump went and mullerd the engine the Maintenance light has been on, I've had it checked on the diagnostic machine and it's coming up with the Oxygen sensor. Changed that at a cost of £145 but the light is still on.

Another check revealed injection sensor had gone. Replaced that at a cost of £150 but the light is still on.

Anyone out there "don't buy a Vectra" they are sh1te.

The Superb is looking good at the moment. I like the adverts saying "from" £63.00 a week. When you add on alloy wheels, aircon, cd player etc etc it soon jumps to £80.00+ a week.
