@@SillyMonkeys I’ve never had to any carb work with mine, I don’t tend to touch the carbs on any bike unless it’s not running properly. But if you did buy an NTV that’s running rough then it’s not a major issue getting the carbs out and back in, a workshop manual is handy. Hope that helps.👍

@@paulbrough3483 Thankyou, glad you liked it.👍

Nice one Will 😉👍

@@dantheman1858 Cheers matey.👍

I didn’t know about that, thanks Max!👍

Yeah, I've spent thousands on it, currently having issues with Haldex again although I'm not that bothered now, used to its problems. I've upgraded the disks and pads all round, had the calipers fully rebuilt and painted.

Cheers for your comment mate, yes the first Vectras were good cars for their time.

Thanks, yes they are a briliant bike, just bought a newer 700 model on the basis of the reliability of the NTV650, still got the 650 though, glad you liked the video.

Sounds awesome mate.👍 They are underrated cars in favour of German cars.

​@@willswheels283Get yourself one while they are cheap 😎

She needed more spending than she was worth, one job was a welding repair quoted at £400 to repair, not to mention the other mechanical maladies with the drivetrain, the engine was the best bit! So she left the fleet and gone to other pastures.

Thanks for watching, yes I’d heard NTV’s had 4 spark plugs but I could only see 2, so I only replaced 2, I will investigate but I’m not sure if older ones like mine have 4 or 2 plugs, it’s my 1st NTV.

Agreed, it’s been no trouble since I bought it over 2 years.

Yes I like the interiors especially, but they look better than the vectra in my humble opinion.

Cheers Dan! 👍😎

That’s because it’s brand new! Lol

Yes not many about these days, good cars just badge snobbery slowed down sales I think.

They do come up for sale on Facebook Marketplace and EBay, these are where I found my last 2 Rovers. 1.6 has more go than the 1.4, I found the 1.4 a bit underpowered.

Yeah the channel primarily focuses on cars and motorcycles but basically anything that is used as transport and has wheels. (There are exceptions though lol like Farming and gardening machinery, you have to draw the line somewhere). Thanks for your comment.👍

@@willswheels283 Tbh, a little grey fergy suit any garden. 😂

@@SmashingPistons Hmm, As much as Grey Fergie’s are characterful and hard working farm vehicles I doubt many would use one as daily transport unless they were a desperate farmer and his Land Rover had broken down.

@@willswheels283 😂

What bits do you need deep pockets for ? Looking at one to replace my 3.0 Jag which has been really cheap

Tax is like 600 a year, fuel etc. Nothing too crazy imo.@@edkay272

My mate who owns the one in the video would definately agree with your comments, the word Haldex has created nightmares for him, he doesn’t use the VXR much in the winter, he has a little Citroen Xsara for his running around jobs. I’ve always liked the Insignia since GM launched it in the late 2000’s, they did a good and better design job over the Vectra, but that’s just my opinion and taste. Thanks for your comment.

Yes they are good cars especially if properly looked after, comfortable and good to drive, thanks for your comment.👍

Thanks for your comment, yes the car is immaculate, it’s like new inside, the current owner does look after it, but it was pretty clean before he bought it.

It was 6 seconds.

And how do you like them ?

Absolut Problemfrei ☺ einmal Kupplung , einmal Wasserpumpe und einmal Benzinpumpe das war es nie liegengeblieben damit ☺ @@robbland6312

Hi. Parts are getting more and more harder to find especially if you're going to Vauxhall directly for new, I've had a few occasions where they say sorry not available now. There are a number of breakers that specialise in VXR's around and on FB groups etc, not sure if in the future more aftermarket parts will be available although you can get some aftermarket parts.

I have the Opel OPC equivalent in Germany and don't have any issues obtaining parts and service through the main dealers.

PSA who now own Vauxhall have deleted loads of lines on parts, not just for the vxr but all insignias. A lot of vxr parts are not made now , so repairing them is impossible unless you find them in breakers but seeing who little vxrs where ever on the road, you will struggle.

I have driven much worse modern cars I can tell you. I am all for change and modernisation, but some modern cars are a massive step back.

@@dylandylan7960 They were very good cars. I had the Ital model and Marina models. If they were rust proofed I would still driving one.

Yes, except the Transalp is chain drive. This engine is also shared with the Deauville.

If you go that way you can say it is a VT500 engine :)

@@antaresautomatyka9288 Yes, very similar.

Thanks for your comment, yes getting the old headlining off the board, cleaning it and refitting it is probably the easier bit, getting it out of the car and refitting is the tricky bit. A job to go on the “Not so important list” at the moment though.👍

Thanks Paul, I agree.👍

😂lol cheers mate.👍

Glad u enjoyed it mate, yes that class 37 did sound awesome! Thanks for watching.👍

Well yes I did say leave a ‘Comment’ 😁

Well as it turned out it was fitted with the 84bhp throttle body but on the V5 it was supposed to be a 103bhp.

@@willswheels283 i’m probably gonna get one soon mapped at 131bhp and was originally 84, first car

@@ggggggg570 Excellent! The K series is a powerful smooth revvy engine, just hope 131bhp won’t cook it. The Streetwise although people didn’t “get it” when it came out, it was one of cars that started the urban on roader trend that turned into the SUV’s we have today.

Thanks Mate, glad you enjoyed it.👍

Yes the K series is flawed in its cooling system BUT the basic idea is a good one which is a light powerful and revvy engine, if you buy a Rover or MG with the K series power plant knowing it’s flaws and assets you’ll know how best to look after it, it’s the same with that Wankel Rotary engine in the Mazda RX cars, get the knowledge and you can have a reliable enjoyable motor.

@@willswheels283 Yeah shame there has to be a compromise but it's worth it when they are working 👍

Cheers Dan!😎👍

Thanks Dan.👍

Tell me about it mate, but yes it looks a lot better now, got there in the end.👍

Yes, they certainly do.

Thanks Rick, yes it would have been nice to have been able to go faster and test the car better, there was a guy they had taking drive by pics but not any vids sadly.

I know what you mean, all the cars get cleaned regularily and started and run though. I can be sitting at home watching a you tube video of a car show rattling off names of cars and yet when it comes to my own video I go “blank”, I think doing this some more will help my confidence when filming and it’ll sound better in videos to come. Thanks for watching 👍

Thanks Paul, it was indeed a good afternoon out.👍
