Vauxhall Astravan

[Autonotiv]

How many miles do you think a 2000, 1.7 L, Vauxhall Astravan will do?

If we say it has 140,000 miles on the clock, and been fully serviced.

How many times does the cambelt need to be done etc on a van that has this many miles?

sorry it is so vauge, but i am thinking of getting a van,(may have to wait until i am 18 though because of the insurance!!!) but i don't want to spend too much (would love a brand new one but that aint going to happen)


cheers.

Vx say change the cam belt ever 40k. Engine is practically bomb proof and will go on for a few thousand more mile yet

cheers, so when looking at them, all i need to do is make sure that they have had the cambelt done every 40 (ish) k.

cheers

cheers lads, not sure if i should spend a bit more and get one with lower miles, would it be worth it?

cheers for all the advice though.

[Autonotiv]

Let's all be honest here, we've all been passed by one doing 120mph.

just need to get insurance quotes, should be around 1500 - 1800 :O
