Selling my Vauxhall vectra. It has been sat inside my workshop for almost a year and I haven't done anything with it.
The car will need trailoring away or can deliver for extra cost.
The car is an 02 plate with 70ish k on the clock. the interior is immaculate and the body is awesome too! it just has to be revved like mad to make it go.
the car will fly through an mot once that's done, tyres are good too!
will be a very good cheap car for somebody!
I've got the logbook here in my name too!
£375 takes it

im not sure mate, i think it might be timing is out but not sure im not a mechanic
What's wrong with it? :p
Firstly, on the bonnet it has this black and silver "Griffin badge"
Secondly, it has Vauxhall Vectra written on the bootlid.
Apart from those two important things you don't really need to know any thing about it.

its an o2 reg 1.8 with about 70k on the clock. I will get pics when im up my workshop next.
basically it starts and runs but you have to rev the **** out of it to keep it going, that's all I know, there's no knocking or anything like that when it runs and head gasket hasn't gone so not entirely sure. the mechanic a couple of doors down said it might be something simple like the timing but I'm not too sure

if you know the engine code it would help as the z18xe or x18xe. if it is fly by wire might need a new throttle body if not try cleaning the Idle control valve on the throttle body. Google it and it will probably come up with a website called vvoc.com they have a guide on it.
only saying as probably get a few more quid if it runs sweet
