John,

just don''get one, pile of poo just like Simple told me   [whistle]

It's full of sensors and just a pain in the arse, it's also mostly plastic (roof and wings are  :shock:) and manages just about 30mpg. It's a 1.8 petrol and has the power of a moped, just the overall quality is really poor

The MOT is due in 3 weeks and one of the ABS sensors has failed again  [wall]

The cambelt needs replacing but on these it costs more as it's a cambelt kit apparently


Looks like I've just struck a deal trading it in for a Passat so hopefully it'll be gone on Saturday

Jon, don't get a laguna albeit the older model ie prior to 2000 was a good car

Sometimes I just HATE being right all the time  [whistle] [whistle]

Glad you got sorted Andy  :icon_thumright:

woooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooo  ish.

All sorted and got the car this morning, a super (no) performance Vectra diesel tractor thing with 33K on the clock and a bloody good price. OK no performance but I'm really not bothered and I'm loving the cruise control.

Well the day has come where I've bought the same car as my Dad albeit he has a petrol so mines more sensible and boring than his   [rofl] [rofl] [rofl]
