Once you get used to them, they are brilliant!

They are fine in most situations. I keep indicating in the opposite direction when I have to cancel manually.

Like I said, you get used to it.....and the 3 flash setup gets used a lot (can be increased to 5 with T2) or the half press and hold.

I hated them at first but, now they are just second nature

Same here with the van, like them a lot now, only use the 3 flashes one makes it much easier

"2.2 16v petrol engine has been known to snap its timing chain due to the lubrication jet becoming blocked, possibly as a result of running on dirty oil due to extended oil change intervals. Vauxhall Z22SE 2.2 litre engine was modified from March 2002, engine number 11065400, to overcome the timing chain lubrication problem. The problem was caused by an undersized oil spray nozzle which got blocked, starving the timing chain of oil. If the timing chain problem has been subsequently rectified, a modified `bolt' is fitted, with `nicks' on the corners of the hexagon.

Ignition control unit of 2.2 petrol engine is prone to burning out. "

and I'm sure there are also electrical niggles ..

galeries around my job area sell them for comparingly low prices ..personally they wont be my choice..

Meaning not many with that issue and most were very early cars too.

Lol, well neither the Toyota or the Honda fit that category.....although its fair to say that the SXi will have a harder suspension setup.

Not a massive fan of Vectra-C - quite a firm ride, which plays my back up a bit, but not uncomfortable (if you avoid the sporty ones).  Its fine with smaller engines, but the more powerful ones show how horribly bad the setup is.  I have frequently toyed with buying (a small engined) one though.

As MDTM says, its a million times better than the horrific Vectra-B.


Myself, if I wanted a large family boring car, I'd probably get (and it pains me to say this) the Mundaneo - I find it more comfortable, certain handles better, and the engines are mostly better.

Fords always were comfy, we used Addison Lee for cars in London. The VW Sharans where feking crap, rock hard seats.

The Galaxy was much, MUCH better. I do like the new Mondeo, but not cheap enough yet
