Direct injection petrol, she's capable of 140mph and holds the road like a sports car.
The steel partition and safety guard I made myself, it stops the dogs rolling around when cornering.
I ripped out the original CD/radio coz it was rubbish and fitted a Kenwood with CD changer located in the boot.
Instruments are easy to see and it's got all the mod-cons like air-con etc.
Ladies, this is how your engine bay should look.

Sorry folks, I should've explained Direct Injection differs from normal injection systems, usually the fuel pressure is around 40psi at the injectors on most cars but on the Vectra it's 90psi , thus giving better performance and acceleration.

I use Barbie when the weather's foul Colin. the gang love the jeep but there's not a lot of room in the back when they're all in it, the Vectra has loads of room inside, I've had 6 dogs in there at times and they've all got room to move about.
