In their own words

The main issue with this model is the gearbox. They are made of chocolate. And despite what Vauxhall recommend. They need regular oil changes with good quality non GM oil. The next issue is EGR and swirl bar failure. Easy to resolve by blanking both off. The good points are the power and load capacity. Even when fully loaded it pulls like a train and still gives 50mpg. If you want a quick car you can load up and take down the motorway pretty economically it's a good car for a small family.
