I had a Vauxhall for 8 yrs ( was originally mrs,s ) & in those years all we had was 1 coil pack go paid 100% by Vauxhall, my mrs ford is now 5 yrs old & has never missed a beat , my Nissan primera gt le ( chromflair pearlescent paint , green / brown / purple ) , my pride & joy , I went everywhere to get one , snapped the cam chain at 67k
Vauxhall’s / fords if you listen to most are bags of crap , old nissans , especially with a cam chain should go on forever , always we’re talked about as being ultra reliable
It’s normally the Audi / bmw / merc driver who says fords / Vauxhall’s are crap , same with lorries , scania drivers say everything else is a pile of crap when in most circumstances there not , my experience of man,s are the most comfortable out the lot , never broke down in one , but the ones we had at Corby chilled were of dubious build quality, have they moved the parking brake on the new one as that’s the only thing I didn’t like about them
