Facelift cars only have three diesel options... 1.9 120 8v, 1.9 150 16v and 3.0 190 v6

Not going to get into an argument about specs etc, but I know that I am right for 2006 on as I was looking at new Vectras at the time and the Signum was bundled in with the Vectra in the brochures... Which I binned when I cleared my room out last year.

My experience of the 1.9 150 16v lump in both manual (30k) and auto (15k) guises was less than positive, hence all the Vectra Cs I have subsequently owned were deliberately 1.8 petrols which I will defend to the end of days.

The Signum is a Vectra C estate with a funky rear seat and slightly smaller boot.

For the needs you suggest, facelift will be perfect, especially in Design or Elite specs and with whichever engine you can find looks best in Moonstone grey metallic or Reubens Red 8)

Shop around and buy on condition regardless of engine  :y

Incidentally all have 100k cambelt, except the V6* which are  chain driven

*I know the 3.2 is belt driven, but early cars only, and I have nowhere suggested buying a preface lift Vectra C of any shape ::)

Cool, thanks for that  :y

Think we are looking for a facelift around 56/06 upwards, with the 150BHP Engine in Design or Elite trim (I really need to get a brochure to get a grip on the specs.

Cambelt is easy to do, you change the water pump as a matter of course with the cambelt kit (as you should do) then you don't get issues.

If you got a 150 I may well have a pile of spares you are welcome to (I expect it includes a clean spare EGR to)

Half a chain and half a belt? That sounds dodgy.  ;D

Can your Opelscanner do Signums, being CAN?  As decent diags equipment is worthwhile :)

My wife had a 1.9 cdti Signum Elite 2007 from almost new to 85000 miles in 5 years. Problems were the clutch damper which is a 2 part thing. We had 2 of these under warranty. It had spring and shock absorber issues (like Vectra) but was a great car.
