For a reliable family car that is cheap to run, the Vauxhall Vectra is hard to beat. Forget about a new version, the previous incarnation of the Vectra is plentiful on the second-hand market thanks to UK sales in excess of 150,000.
Sold new between June 2002 and September 2005, these petrol and diesel-engined Vectras are not complex and routine maintenance and servicing should be within the scope of most owners. With this in mind, the latest repair manual from Haynes covers Vauxhall/Opel Vectra models from 02 to 55 registrations.
Haynes Manuals are best sellers with more than 150 million sold worldwide - that's 1,000 manuals for each and every Vectra sold in three years! These remarkable sales figures prove how useful and informative Haynes manuals are.
Applying the well-established Haynes formula, the new Vectra Manual was written and illustrated following the complete stripdown and re-assembly of one of the models and close examination of others in the range. Information and instructions fill 400 pages and there are more than 1,000 illustrations. This means that even major overhauls to the engine, suspension and brakes have full instructions, illustrations and a rating for their complexity. Where special tools are needed, the manual explains their function and (where possible) how to make up an alternative.
For less complex tasks, there are sections on daily, weekly and routine maintenance. There are instructions for straightforward jobs such as wiper blade replacement and a section on preparing for the MOT test. Added to this are fault-finding charts and useful advice for driving economically.
As with all Haynes Manuals, there are sections on:
- Maintenance - simple weekly checks to keep you on the road
- Servicing - complete, fully illustrated step-by-step guides
- Fault-finding - information helping you to pinpoint specific problems easily
- Brakes - safety checks and repairs for the home mechanic
- Haynes Tips - valuable short cuts to make many tasks easier
