  1. Agreed. The maximum number of bars that may be shown is 8. The highest number I saw was 5 or maybe 6, whereas the typical lowest number was 3.
  2. A mixture of ATF and acetone in a 50/50 ratio is quite effective for loosening glow plugs and injectors before they are taken out.
  3. We had a same problem with one of our Fiat Ducato vehicles. The diagnostic tool indicated that all four glow plugs were defective after 130,000 km. It was a challenging task to access and replace them. It was discovered to be the control unit.
  4. Indeed, it seems as if the manufacturer intentionally designs their products to malfunction shortly after the guarantee period expires.
  5. It consistently malfunctions shortly after the warranty period ends.
  6. I completely concur, my friend. None of the new cars available appeal to me. I have never been interested in large, luxurious, fuel-inefficient supercars. I have always purchased used automobiles, mostly due to the same reason you said before - I have never been in a position to afford a brand new one. Indeed, I might potentially get a brand new automobile and incur a significant debt for a duration of around 5 years. However, such a decision would need making certain sacrifices in many aspects of my life. However, we were never equipped or ready to do that task. The pre-owned vehicle of excellent quality that we consistently purchased was consistently cared for and well maintained. Our Vectra C provided us with 7.5 years of trouble-free driving, and our Insignia has given us about 6 years of the same. The manner in which they are cared for and handled, as you said, is significant. However, I will always prefer the older automobile. If anybody is aware of an excellent Mk1 Vauxhall Carlton, please inform me. We are now encountering significant difficulties in our search.
  7. I've always been into vauxhalls. The first vehicle I had was a Magnum 2300. I have had several models of cars, including vivas, chevettes, vx2300s, 5-speed VX490s, mk1 Carltons, mk3 Carltons, a Carlton GSI, Vectra B's, Vectra C's, and now, the Insignia. Currently, we own the following vehicles: the insignia, a 1995 calibra 2.5 V6, a 1999 vectra b gsi, a 1994 astra 1.4 merit, a 1993 cavalier colorado 1.8, a 2009 astra vxr, a 2008 vectra c xp1, and a Ford transit custom. It is consistently a bustling period at this location.
  8. The Insignia is an exceptional automobile. I have had mine for about 6 years and I still have a strong affection for it, continuously engaging in activities to enhance its functionality. However, we have a few older Vauxhalls that need a significant amount of effort and attention. much more straightforward to work on
  9. The Vectra C 1800 exhibited insufficient power, although Vauxhall made the decision to use nearly the same engine for the somewhat weightier Insignia. The engine is very reliable and has little issues with the variable valve timing (VVT) power system. However, it lacks the performance capabilities to excel in racing competitions. Furthermore, as you said, the gearbox. I is unable to comprehend the rationale behind the decision to install the M32 gearbox instead of the F17 gearbox, which was more durable, in the Vectra C. Who is responsible for making these decisions? I will continue to use my unclean vehicle.
