Busgo - I feel your pain with servicing these vehicles as I have a 2001 2.2L Vectra with 130,000 on the clock and a Holden By Design (LOL) kit.. Had the car since 50K.
These Opel Vectras are fantastic to drive but I wouldn't own another one. The thing might as well have European badges on it if I'm going to pay such bullsh!t servicing costs. Can't buy them new anyway, they've been replaced by the much cheaper/sh!ttier Epica (daewoo made is it?)
Also, for the last couple of years I have been forced by Holden to change the oil & filter myself. Holden put out a service bulletin telling dealers to put a grade of oil in the vehicle which is not described in the handbook. That's all well and good, except my Vectra suddenly chewed a litre of oil in 1000klms.
Yet, when using the oil as described in the hanbook the stick-reading does not change at all in between services.
