1980 Vauxhall Chevette L 1.3 petrol from UK and Ireland
Summary:
A great little car that I wish they were still making now
Faults:
Corrosion on front wings.
Corrosion on sills.
Oil leak on front crank pulley.
Gearbox lay shaft bearing failure.
Clutch judder.
Starter motor solenoid faulty.
O/s inner sills badly corroded. this caused the jacking point to collapse and the car had to be scrapped.
General Comments:
The performance of the car is adequate for its age.
The fuel economy is very good.
It was the most reliable car I have ever owned.
Corrosion was the factor which ultimately ended its use
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
