Re: Dans vectra c
What's wrong with it?
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

Re: Dans vectra c
Something to do with hydraulic clutch cylinder. It makes a remote control car kinda sound while driving, gets stuck in gear, leaking gearbox oil.
Hopefully get enough from the car to get a new cheaper one, hopefully still a vaux

Re: Dans vectra c
If I remember correctly, it's normally the slave cylinder that give bother with the hydraulic clutch in the vec c, there not dear or hard to fit if that's what the problem is
I'm sure Coupe will throw one in for 20 quid and a pint [emoji14]

Re: Dans vectra c
That's it all the strip down for a bit of plastic
Held in by 3 bolts
Just try not to drive it as the car has a DMF and
You can mess them up and they are £300 new
The worse thing vauxhall and others fitted to

Re: Dans vectra c
You will get vibration through your cluch
It would feel like when your wheel is not balanced
And you would get a clunk sound

Re: Dans vectra c
Hoping to start gathering parts for the repair this weekend. Currently walking nearly 3 miles to and from work each day as I refuse to use public transport!

Re: Dans vectra c
Yeah good service, get new diesel filters in because they cause bother to the diesel pump on them and it's a couple
grand to replace if you've got a coded pump
Clean out the intake and Egr and she should run like a new car again
