Vectra wont start - Dave Grain
I have experienced problem with my 1995 1.8 petrol Vectra (owned since 6 months old).
In certain weather conditions, a combination of frost & damp the car, which is serviced regularly, will not fire or start.
It always happens incidentally whilst on my drive.
This has happened 4 or 5 times & each time I call out the local Vauxhall dealer who has found the only way to start it is to bump start (Jump leads are not sufficient)
After full diagnostic check the dealer has never been able to find the fault. Replacement plugs do not help.

Any one who has solved this or has a solution?

One would have thought Vauxhall would have discovered the solution but it appears not, or at least if they have they've not informed their dealers.
Thanks
Dave Grain
