A friend of mine had that happen to him TWICE on his Vectra several years back, and both times while the car was still under 3 years old!!!! He had bought it new and in the end they finally replaced his Vectra with a new Astra. He sold that and has never owned a Vauxhall again since. I too made a mental note to myself to never buy a Vauxhall.drakey said:Timing chain also - hopefully better lubricated than my old Vectra 2.2 - chain guides dried and fractured, chain jumped two teeth, engine went bang and cost me £1300 for a rebuild![]()
