    Elsie drove it for the first time last night as she wouldn't when it was playing up (before new parts where fitted). She has now said she's taking it to work. I know of only 1 car park dink in the drivers door so we will see how it is when she brings it back.
    Poor thing.
    :-(

    We had a low millage Vectra c 1.8 get traded in at work so I asked if I could move some engine bits across to see if I could sort a coil pack fault out. Now as I've only had the car 6 days I've not had chance to service it yet but once I removed the coil pack I noticed the the plugs seamed very loose so while at it i thought I would check them only to find out that 2 of the plugs where missing there electrodes. So over to the Vectra I went and borrowed the coil pack and plugs and moved all my old bits across result. The Vectra still runs and mine now goes like a scolded cat.
    I will fit new plugs when I do the oil filter plug and belt change next month.
    I love it as its so much nicer to drive now.
