The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

Haven't a clue mate... If I get it and lasts me a year I'll be happy as it'll be a complete change of motor by then.

Just followed a 51 plate diesel vectra, looked very tidy (in the dark) and no smoke from the exhaust.

Nope.

I'm not big fan of derv drinkers / soot chuckers. Especially the new breed with DPF.

I've just text him now asking when it will be available... Cheaper to get this and run it for a year than put issues with my miggy right....

Yours is a Vectra C, chain driven and the bonus liability of a troublesome, fragile high pressure fuel pump ::)

OPs potential car is a Vectra B facelift, with essentially the same belt driven 2.2 donkey as the Omega :y
