My used car is nothing but trouble
I bought a car from a second hand car dealer at the end of September 2012. Since then it has developed numerous faults which I have had to take to a garage to get repaired under warranty, apart from the repair of the dual mass flywheel which I had to pay £450 for.
I have hardly drove it a few days without another fault developing and is now still in a garage under repair - they have had it for 2 weeks and didn't supply me with a courtesy car for a week, so I had to rely on public transport, taxis and borrowing my parents car to get to work and back.
So far it had had a new turbo, intercooler, alternator, inlet manifold, thermostat, dual mass flywheel and a fuel filter and now they are saying the turbo is at fault again. What can I do?

Get rid of it. These problems are endemic with the 1.9 diesel engine in the Vectra.

Far better than previous Vectra. Now with decent handling and an excellent ride. Plenty of safety kit. Roomy in the front. Big boot. Good looks.
