Vectra C 1.9 CDTI
Well I finally bought myself a vectra [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH] so happy to be back in a Vauxhall. I have owned the car about a week but only just got it washed so waited until now to put it up here.
The car is on 120000 miles and is running pretty sweet. Had a new battery and tyres about a year ago and has just had the clutch, dmf and slave cylinder changed before I bought it. I have fitted some mtec h7 and 501s at the front and some mtec 501s in the number plate lights. (Will take a picture later when it's dark).
Plans at the min are:
New thermostat (a bit temperamental)
Cambelt and water pump
Service
In the long term I want some decent alloys and maybe some 40mm lowering springs but we will wait and see about that [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES] well I'll stop talking and put up some pics.
And one from yesterday [FACE SCREAMING IN FEAR]

Are they LEDs you put in the side lights? I had anti canbus LEDs but they started strobing after locking the car and set my cars alarm off randomly.

Nope, they are normal 501s just the class is coloured blue. Put in on eBay mtec 501. Was going to led everything but looking on vectra forums they have problems with them flashing and I couldn't be bothered with that aha

That's a point haha. I'm trying to stay away from leds, my car alarm would randomly set off for no reason after putting LEDs in then stopped happening once I took them out so had to be them. Definitely getting some of them bulbs you have for the number plate!

Re: Vectra C 1.9 CDTI
That's well weird! Is that the standard alarm? They look great without being overly bright

Yeah standard alarm. Someone told me it's something to do with a voltage drop.
