2003 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.9 DTi turbo diesel from UK and Ireland

Summary:

Brilliant

Faults:

Bought the van. Within a few thousand miles, it needed a new gearbox; cost a grand.

Apart from that, it's been great.

Tip for all of you; make sure your gearbox oil is full; I purposely over fill mine, it works great, nice and smooth gear change.

General Comments:

Wonderful van, great to drive.

Nice and smooth.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

The gearboxes Vauxhall used at this time were terrible, we had similar vans and they all failed at less than 100K miles. Needing reconditioning with mileage as low as 50K was common. Even the clutch could outlast a gearbox!

Engine, bodywork and electric components were all solid however.
