I've got a Vectra C Sri myself.my headlights were full of condensation when I bought my car and I got in touch with a guy in Norwich and he charged me £30 to mop both headlight units.he recommended putting silicon gel all the way round the headlights and I found that helped draw the moisture out aswell.

    The plastic housing on the cigarette lighter twist lock on the barrel. You just have to hold the center of the sig lighter steady.
    The side support on the seat is a common issue as well. The metal bar hides inside the foam, has broken off the seat frame. I ended up replacing my seat frame and seat bottom from a donor car. They tend to break off when you sit on the side support etc. The metal rod is just 6mm or so, so not the strongest in the world. And never put you knee it the seat cushion, that will break you heating element.

    @martinmaxwell256 5 лет назад

    Nice work James, do yourself a favour , get a cheapo 90 degree drill attachment, drill the exhaust side of your turbo --centrally with where you would imagine the bearings to be. ( 7 mm). Next , tap it with 8 mm tap, fit a short bolt with copper washer. Now you can squirt Mr muscle oven cleaner aerosol in , this frees up the turbo vanes by dissolving the carbon and soot, so your turbo electronic actuator don't blow trying to move gummed up vanes, -- this, an EGR clean and trust me you will be driving a different car. Mucho POKE for nowt. Plus u can clean your turbo more easily in the future.

    • @martinmaxwell256
      @martinmaxwell256 5 лет назад

      Messed up 1st message. Drill n tap the turbo to accept an 8mm threaded bolt --exhaust side. Then u can spray clean with Mr muscle oven cleaner to unblock the carbon deposits on the vanes . This will save your turbo actuator from blowing while trying to move gummed up t/ vanes. This works brilliant. Did mine and it was a different car afterwards together with the egr clean.

    I had a Mondeo on a 56 plate and I only got rid of it due to The Injectors going and losing my mobiliy. I have to say it was a cracking car to Drive and after a Engine de coke it also became very economical to run. Best I ever had was 71.6 MPG, but could often get it to do 56 MPG on a long run.
    I was amazed how simple it was to remove the Grill and Headlights, Never had to change the bulbs on the Mondeo, unlike the Wife's old Focus.

    • @christopherland4240
      @christopherland4240 5 лет назад

      That MPG seems a bit impossible for me at the moment. I checked my inlet manifold when I cleaned the EGR and it was full of s**t. Maybe a clear out will help. I did on my old `53 plate Mondy, really easy to do.

    • @Simon_W74
      @Simon_W74 5 лет назад

      @@christopherland4240 I can't for the life of me think why the engine was de coked now but with the extra MPG I got out of it with a bit of a gentlier approach to the throttle, was worth it, as I was running in the late 30s early 40's before hand. Just wish I could get the same return form the Current car.

    Had the cigarette lighter issue myself on my MK1 Yaris, changed the cassette player for a Sony single din but the facia held the cigarette lighter. I must have sat there for about 30 mins trying to figure it out until I noticed a screw at the bottom unscrewed that and it came apart in 2 pieces. Of course the new facia plate wasn't a perfect fit for it and the port would move around inside it so I ended up giving it a generous amount of hot glue and its been solid since.
