I bought the cheapest astra h vxr I could find in Scotland, what did I get 😬

[@AhriCRose]

A thorough cleaning is necessary - my Astra's gearbox was difficult to shift due to wear and tear, which seems to be a common issue with Vauxhall gearboxes.

Yeah the m32 gear boxes are soft

2 years in and not a major problem yet. Not sure you all doing with these beasts. Learn to drive and service that's all. All cars need maintenance lol. My mates bmw 2017 timing chain snapped on 90k pmsl. Z20leh is a solid lump if you know what your doing. To any random boy racer it's going to cause problems no end
