1983 Opel Senator Model 2A CD 3.0E petrol

Summary:

Wonderful car

Faults:

Rear brakes. Now I have Omega 3000 Caravan rear brakes (discs are original) and they are working great!

Rear tires won't last more than a week.

Rust in the rear fenders and in the lowest edge of the front door.

Water pump blew up (new costs about £8..).

License plate lights need new wires.

Electric windows don't work anymore in the rear doors.

General Comments:

Very sporty family car. Quite good performance with a manual 5 speed gearbox. Engine gives about 220 horses and sounds just like a new.

Manzel springs and koni shock absorbers gives a good touch to road the with BMW 7x16" wheels and 215/45 ZR 16 tires.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
