I had a 1.8 SRI "sport hatch" for 11 years, and it never once let me down! Every year I'd secretly hope it would fail it's MOT so I could convince the Mrs that I needed a new car, and every year it would pass. I eventually sold it as we needed something bigger, and it's still going strong for the woman I sold it to. This video has been an emotional watch for me 😂

@AndySnap Год назад

The Mummy had less tape wrapped around it than that mirror... Astras are okay, they just get you around without much effort, or too much expense. That era Astra design looks sharp.

@johntate5050 Год назад

I ran Astravans right from the Bedford Astravan to the last incarnation Sportive. They were good, solid vans. I used to thrash the bollocks off them but they never gave me any trouble. Just got them serviced on the dot. The final version, the 150bhp Sportive, was pretty bloody fast. It was definitely the fastest van in its day and not much slower than hot hatches.

@saddoncarrs6963 Год назад

In 1993 Top Gear ran an acceleration test between a Lotus Esprit and an Astramax van. The Lotus got off to a good start but by the end of the run, the Astramax blew its doors off. You can catch the action on youtube.

@johntate5050 Год назад

@@mariemccann5895 No rose tinted specs on me. I don't wear them. Our company rans some bad cars and vans and I'm all too willing to slag them off. We bought all our vehicles new and the Mercedes Vito was poor. It began falling apart and breaking down before 40k. The best vans we had were the Toyota Hiace. They were bloody fantastic vans but the Astravans were great too. We put thousands of motorway miles on them which is good for the engines and we serviced them on the dot.

@roberttaylor7462 Год назад

It is all true, in the 1980s the Astramax was the fastest thing on the road except for a stolen 3-door Cossie, it was customary to see them breaking the ton on any motorway when most 1.3/1.6 family cars struggled to do so without severe provocation.

Good video Matt, It's great to watch how with even older cars that you don't skimp on the quality of repairs required. Most car traders would have bought a used door mirror and put cheap and nasty wheel trims on etc. Keep "em" coming. Be nice to see you review a Gen. 7 Celica.

They don't sound very impressive but the best car I ever had was a 1995 m reg 1.4 astra h/ back automatic. Poor acceleration but would wind up to 70 to 80 on m way no trouble. Am looking out now for cheap astra after watching matts video.

After watching so many of your videos I see how having a good network of ‘go to’ people (mechanics/painters/valeters etc) helps you get a sense of how much each car is going to cost you and what’s going to be left in it for you. I’m sure it’s still a gamble but an educated one. Very interesting keep them coming Matt 👏🏻👍🏻

@Bettys_Eldest Год назад

I bought a Montego in the early 90s. The previous owner was in his 30s. He lived a half mile from his kid's school, his work and the pub a mile from the in laws and the shops. He never walked anywhere, just drove. At five years old it had 33,000 miles and was full of margarine. Short journeys meant it never got properly warm. The local garage kindly refused to deal with it, but gave me instructions on removing the pipework on the engine cleaning them out and flushing the engine. I spent a whole weekend removing the emulsion from the engine. They then charged £35 to give it a tune. Six years later with a further 130,00 miles on the clock the wife bent it badly and wrote it off

@ingopaul67 Год назад

My Dad bought one of these as his retirement car back in 2006, he still has it, having done just 32k miles. Always garaged, flies through the MOT every year. Only had one problem with it, an immobiliser/ ignition start problem. For a Vauxhall, they aren't too bad.

@gmmooseblaster Год назад

This is the way to go environmentally wise. Reviving older cars must be the way forward until EV's can get their act together regarding battery life and the woefully inadequate charging point provision in this country. I'm keeping my 12 year old car going until it becomes uneconomical to do so

@keithgale2596 Год назад

That is brilliant work Matt - my inclination was that the head was ok and just needed an 'Italian Tune' and oil change. To be honest I find this type of car far more interesting than so called supercars because they represent everyday honest motoring. Like a lot of people at my age I could easily afford a brand new car - but find it more interesting to keep an older car going. In fact all of the 'lane assist/start stop/updating' rubbish I do not like. Cars of this era are a golden spot for me - generally lighter and more fuel efficient than new cars, more reliable and involving with driving. One of our cars (an estate) carries everything you could ever need - has been 100% reliable - feels good to drive - and on a run will do 60 mpg. It has done over 120,000 miles (but it gets pampered) and I honestly cannot think of anything that could replace it. Keep up the great work!

@snbala Год назад

Wow, those tyres! People who skimp on tyres annoy me, that’s the only thing that keeps you on the road, basically doesn’t give two hoots about others on the road along with you and your passengers. That mirror is also shocking to leave it for that long. Those roof rails are a common issue for paint flake, 95% of Astras of this era have them. People need to spend more looking after their cars, or just walk/get the bus. I see these shoe string run cars daily. BFC means brake fluid change. Great video as always.

I bought my 2010 Astra 1.6 from Motorpoint in Derby in 2011 with 10 miles on the clock for £8,000. Now has 140,000+ on the clock. Apart from the usual wear and tear items, never had much wrong with it (saying that with crossed legs and fingers). I have it serviced every 5-6 000 miles. If looked after and not ragged, they are a decent car to get from a-b. Whoever buys Matts motor can look forward to many years of happy motoring.

While in other videos he is very realistic, in this video there are red flags all over, and Matt goes like "Oh well there might be a profit in it", "does'nt look that bad" while I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole.

Recently got rid of my 2018 Mk7 Astra K 1.4 Turbo Petrol 150HP Elite Nav Premium as I needed a bigger vehicle but in 5 years of ownership, service every 5k miles, and 40k miles later, It is hands down the most reliable car (owned several new and used cars before) I've ever owned. I've had 2 other Vauxhalls with no issues, also. Vauxhall is quite reliable if you look after them, like anything else. Unfortunately, a majority of Vauxhall owners don't service them ever and/or just run them into the ground, adding to their "terrible reliability" reputation. My dad had a 2000 MK4 1.4 Astra with 196,000 miles until about 2015 when someone crashed into him and wrote it off.

You are making some money, all the businesses, and therefor people/families, you pay for doing their part earn some money and someone is buying a car they can trust in getting them economically from A to B. And there is a solid argument that this is far better for the environment than slapping it to the junkyard and manufacturing a new car. All in all, what’s not to like🤷🏻‍♂️

You were lucky on the head gasket - my guess is that it did lots of short runs hence the blocked breather. Looked pretty good when you were done with it.

Ive run the same Astra H (1.7cdti) for the last 12 years. The issue on all Astra`s of that age, was no coolant level sensor. People continued to drive oblivious when a hose fails, overheat the block and blow the head. I average a bust hose once a year, to the extent I carry a variety in the boot for on the spot replacement. Got into the habit of every so often putting the heat on momentarily to make sure there was still coolant in the tank!

I always forget how smart this generation of Astra looks when they’re clean. It’s like a good but inexpensive suit that you can wear everyday and still look respectable.

Under £3k? Any repairs/servicing won't break the bank. A good run around for young single or a family. Will sell quickly.

Why the hell would you give £1100 for that heap of crap I wouldn't pay £1100 when you repair it lol great viewing as always

Astra for 1k cheap??? How much are those trashcans selling for? Thought that these unreliable junks were somewhere between £300 and unsellable scrapyard donation.
