The sensor was changed and did nothing, now I'm waiting on a wiring part from Vauxhall because the last time it was in for two days Vauxhall had sent the wrong part. The car has even been left for a couple of days on two occasions and still the problem continues and adds stress to the driving experience.

The car has gone back seven times due to the tyre pressure monitoring system which is constantly flashing on and off.

People even turn heads as I go through the village!! Worse though are the electrical problems. the whining and whirring this box makes is incredible. You often have to give the gas pedal a fair bit of welly especially from stop and the racket is worth mentioning, partly from the engine (which apparently is called 'whisper'!!) and partly from the automatic gearbox. The good reactions at speed from the engine are not the case in town. The downside is something that could take a long time to talk about but I'll try to keep it brief. Once up to speed the engine is very good too. My average is 54.4MPG but most of what I do is A roads and motorways. On the plus side I think it looks good has tremendous legroom at the front (im 6ft 1 and have room) comfortable for long journeys has a huge boot with ski flap and has been very economical. Since Vauxhall/Opel revised this model it seems to have gone downhill in quality. Changed from previous model 2.0 diesel manual which I had no problems with but this one has been a nightmare.
