Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Most reliable car I have owned. I do a lot of my own maintenance. Vauxhall / PSA are not interested in it past 10 years. For it's age, brakes and glow plugs have been replaced. The brakes have a habit of sticking, which is due to lubrication washing off. It's worth decoking every 25K miles and antifreeze replaced at 10/5 years to prevent corrosion damage. Electric windows stopped working which was down to oxidised connectors. Underbody corrosion protection is also neglected by the dealers.
