Vauxhalls Cam shafts - econome not speed

After buying a Astra at auction 1400 P reg petreol I had the cam belt replaced only to have the tensioner fixing bolt shear later This was a call back on the VX220 crap car they are such flemisly made cars plastic trip falls off central locking problems just bad quality cars Look on better a second hand Toyota than a new Vauxhall £1200 for extra 2years warrenty in case of cam shaft damage occurs during that time shows their confidance in their cars and they will have been servicing the car during that time .
