Admittedly my Vectra has now had all the things that they are renown to go replaced now and yes alot earlier than and more issues engine wise than my old Volvo.
I weighed up the odds and bought a cheap car which after its over servicing lol it still cheaper than less spec's cars from a dealer which after a year or sooner would have the same issues and its lower miles to 
I just gave up thinking i can buy a car that's going to match the V40 for reliability so got a cheap nice one with known issues oh and some unknown lol
Like ive told anyone, its been longer than i can remember where ive had to replace an alternator on a car.... battery's yes suspension and bushes yes brakes yes... But also at the end of the day ive got a rapid big estate that's sporty and i can wire things into etc for alot less than if i had gone for a low mileage V50 D5 which i would have looked for more if they didn't have that stupid stereo that you cant take out |
Yeah as I said before I was amazed at how much you had done to the Vectra. Hopefully you should now have a good solid car which will repay you with good reliability over the next few years.
Still hope to see you back behind the wheel of a Volvo in the future though.
