Hello,
Just popped here to say hi and finally got some pictures of the car following my last post.
It’s a 1.9 8 valve Cdti vectra design, topish spec and absolutely flawless bodywork. Only had it a few weeks and it’s already done me 1300 miles.

I'm not too sure on the colour, States blue on the logbook but looks more gray in person.
Most issues got resolved, Thermostat proved to be a little bit of a pain with the EGR piping in the way, Quite odd it's blanked on the inlet and on the end of the piping but the owner never removed the piping and blanked it there. [EDIT] I'll get some pictures of it when time allows so you guys can tell me if its normal, The car doesn't have a EML which is strange for a EGR delete but theres no other signs of it being mapped out.
Car seems to turn over about 3-4 times on cold starts and 2 on warms so going to give it a full service when money allows and make sure it gets new plugs however the glowplug light does go out after about 5 secs so suspect its just a old starter.
Only other issue I can find with it is it just seems a little slow, I've checked every turbo pipe is tight as I found a few loose ones which took a while and gave the boost sensor a bit of a scrub I can definately hear the turbo spool up and it shifts well in lower end just doesn't have the punch I'm used to. I had a 2.0tdci mondeo the 130bhp edition which was remapped to about 150bhp and the turbos work completely different based on my research so I'm guessing it's just me.
Car seems like a keeper apart from that, I think after a map it will be good. Did I mention it only has 113,000 miles on it which seems quite low for a diesel engine.
