    Vectra rear wiper leak

    Got a boot leak coming from where the rear wiper motor goes through the boot. Tried to remove the motor and the rubber seal to replace it but I can't get it out. The rubber seems to be glued to the motor. Anyone got any suggestions?

    Vibration

    I noticed a vibration at about 80mph a while ago. Went and got the front wheel balanced but this made the car un-drivable. They said it was the driveshafts... Swapped all my wheels with a friend's Vectra who doesn't have a vibration and it made it better but didn't clear it. Had all my...

    Removing Irmscher Backbox

    I need to whip the backbox off my car. It's a Vectra 150 with the Irmscher rectangular exhaust. Can I just unbolt the joint a couple of inches back and then bolt it back on later? Is there a gasket which will fall apart?

    Does anyone have suggestions for where / how to mount an iPod in a viewable position in a Vectra B? Ideally I'm looking for something which is removable so that it isn't on sight when parked. Like and have tried the Griffin and Belkin cup holder mount but they are designed for US cup holders...

    Vauxhall Radio Cage

    Found a standard vauxhall (1 din size) radio cage in the garage. Not worth selling. Not exactly sure what it fits. Looks very similar to the one I pull out of my vectra and cav. Both had different headunits in. If anyone wants it or knows anyone that might let me know. Will probably keep it...

    Just in case anyone thought that Vauxhall never actually help out customers... When I picked my car up I didn't think that the ride height at the front was right. According to the service history the springs were changed in September last year. Compared my car to another while Benny did the...
