Folks :- My other half has found a car she likes and is in her price range, so she bought it. The price range was £1500 (which was discussed here a few weeks ago) and she's got an R plate Vauxhall Vectra GLS automatic having done
95000 miles. It seems to drive quite nicely and cleaned up it'll look OK, however there are no signs of any servicing having been done on it at any time in its recent past.It's going to the garage as soon as I can book it in for a full service and timing belt change (and to fix the horn!), there are suggestions that the water pump should be changed at the same time and the tensioners. Should they be changed? Is there anything else that ought to be done while it's in the garage?
Also it only came with one key and alarm key fob - where's the cheapest place to get new ones in the Manchester or North London areas?
Many thanks
Kev
