Anyone know about vectras
« on: 11 August 2008, 21:03:58 »
My brother in law has just got a vectra with a 1.8 engine, it has a bad oil leek and looks like its coming from the rocker cover top left as you look from the bonnet close to the timing belt cover. Do these suffer from the same problems as my omega.
