AndyT Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Couldn't help it. I'd recommend the Astra 1.7 turbo diesel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted November 12, 2007 Author Share Posted November 12, 2007 Couldn't help it. I'd recommend the Astra 1.7 turbo diesel. I had a PAIR of those at one stage when I was younger Don't like the look of the astra personally, looks too much like the estate converted..

edge Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Would keep away from a connect as reliability can be an expensive issue unless you can get paper work to say its already had a new gearbox and oil cooler as these are weak piont and both gone on mine. Oil cooler went and it needed new coolant system, cat and turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
