They aren't bad engines as they break or anything, just compared to the newer diesels they are old and slow.

Not crap then.

The original Golf GTi engine is old and slow compared to new lumps. Not a crap engine by any stretch of the imagination.

Swirl flaps cant be removed there part of the inlet manifold
3rd injector brings up eml light and makes the drive very hesitant
There is currently no solid fly wheel

Corsa Sport 21 the knocking from the rear of your vectra will more than likely be your suspension bushes.

The arm is sort of 'banana' shape and both bushes wear at each end, very very common.

Have you had chance to look yet?

The 3rd brake light is smoked also.

The SRi/Gsi/Sxi Direct has them too,all the others like the LS,Club etc had a clear 3rd brake light.
