spoke to him nicely and got the rear resprayed free of charge.

you have nothing to lose, the dealers loses their good customer reputation.

so they might repair it....give it a go.....

Thanks will do

Is your car the 1.8? How does it feel with the new clutch.

Did you have to push to get it replaced or did they just ring you up?

I am waiting for my dealers to pull their finger out and get me a new clutch.Its suppose to be the end of August but i'm still waiting.

No I have the 1.9 CDTI (16v) and i have to say that it drives so much better. As i had another fault it was booked in for their next available date which was 2 weeks, and all fixed (and damaged!) within two days.

some 1800's have suffered from clutch 'judder' and VX wil replace the affected units under warranty if you still have one....

**Vectra_SRi** · 9th September 2007, 21:59

what do you mean by judder?? during gear changes? mine sort of does between 1st and 2nd

**Gsi3.2** · 9th September 2007, 22:02

it's a 'problem' in taking up drive in either 1st or 2nd gear as the engines power defeats the clutches ability to transmit that power..so it vibrates as it slips...

I showed Brocks a scratch on my rear bumper which I think happened when it was in the dealers for a service last week, i'm sure it wasn't there before it went in

Can't prove it though and it's the last place i'd take my Vectra to be painted - I don't have an awful lot of confidence in their body/interior repairs (another story LOL)
