I need some advice urgently, I have come across a 2004 04 1.9CDTi Vectra Estate in Grey, (I have to have an Estate), it has done 239k Miles, had a new EGR valve and just had new cambelt kit, it is an Ex Taxi, I don't have much experience with CDTi Vectra's. I had one for less than a month, but it wasn't in use while I had it, I cleaned the EGR and because it was a hatchback I sold it on. What are the common problems with them? Anything in particular to watch out for? I currently drive a Mondeo TDCi and I know all the issues to look out for on them and after making my one good I don't want to get another car and find it to be a lemon. All advice greatly appreciated. Cheers

Bosch aerotwin ( made in china) probably the most disapointing wiper blades we have used that were showing streaking after only a few weeks. I've fitted £1.99 ones that were better. We have 1 of our vectra c hatchbacks that has been using valeo silencio front and rear now for 6 +years( i have replaced them ) and personaly after trying all sorts of different makes on our other 2 vectras i don't think they(v/s) can be bettered.

In direct contrast, I fitted some Bosch Aerotwins to mine 3 years ago - probably the best wiper blades I've had on and still brilliant.
