What INFURIATES you about your opel?

[Aggzz]

Mine: not much, other than fading and cracking leather at 9000KMS!!, CD30 MP3 has piss-weak sound (thats why i went to wrecker and got a CDC40), LACK OF STORAGE SPACE, and "creaking windows" when you wind them up, the glass creaks and cracks for about a minute which i've had a look at and cant seem to fix (im probably stupid).

Resale value and the fact people don't understand the Opel

[ChrisMaz]

Nothings easy on a Vectra :p

Mate have you frequently applied leather protectant onto the leather? I've got 100,000KM's on mine and no leather has cracked or faded.
My windows rattle after they've settled but its not big deal. Just press up and they lock in. I bought to car so cheap for what its stocked with I can overlook most of the faults with it.

No sensible domestic supply of parts.

5x110 Wheel stud pattern, and the lack of available wheels for it locally.

Holden badges.

Trying to get hold of 95 octane petrol (now my local station has stopped doing it).

If you're after wheels try a brand like velocity wheels. They custom drill the stud pattern after you pick your wheel design.

Took me 2 days through City Discount Tyres. Super happy.

Depends on your style though :)

Other than reliability with older models, generally modding the mechanical side of them...

Parts are not readily available and you have to deal with O/S which means higher costs and issues...

And yes wheels, that bastard 5x110 is one of the most uncommon PCD's to deal with, however throw enough funds at them and you can get anything you want :)

I know alot of people don't have them, but if you do mud flaps will pop off way too easily as well...they're clipped lighly only whereas alot of other brands will screw then in place...

My clip is broken, it only does it on one side

[Neeko]

oh god no, i've replaced one side twice! If your driving through intense rain it always does it, even passed other barinas that had their wheel flares flapping in the wind.
I put 2 roofing screws straight through the bottom of the flare into the chassis to keep it in place.
