2003 Opel Vectra Owner's Manual

[165 Max H]

Hi everyone. I'm a new member who has recently purchased a 2003 Opel Vectra (having now had four Vectras since 1992 - two badged as Holden). I unfortunately just cooked the motor of my 1995 Vectra , which then wasn't worth repairing - to me, anyway! Sold it for 300 bucks to my local mechanic who's going to have a go at getting it going again in his spare time - his charge-out rate to himself is a lot lower than to me.

I am trying to find an Owner's Manual for the 2003 model (not a workshop manual), as it didn't come with one (it has been imported from Japan into NZ). The instruments and controls are very different from my 95 one! I guess it will be the same whether it's badged as Opel Vectra, Holden Vectra, or Vauxhall Cavalier.

The Opel website doesn't have any prior to 2007. I've also looked at a UK Vauxhall owner's site, and at Haynes car manuals. I can find Workshop manuals, but not an Owner's manual.

Any other ideas?

Advanced are EXPENSIVE, though - some items I could import two, even three, from the UK and have change left over
I'd suggestt he UK Ebay - I've bought a few things through there, also several dismantlers there that can source Vauxhall parts. Don't have the links on this PC, though. If you do a 'net search, you should find several.
Oh, tsk, tsk, for cooking the ECOTEC

Advanced can be steep but I did get a new bonnet from them for $100, didn't think that was too bad.

plenty on uk ebay but some of the prices are getting up like 22 odd pound plus freight,if nothing local.

It's only the handbook Max wants, so surely they wouldn't want to charge very much for that! ... if they have one

its all the glovebox manuals you get in a leather case we have one with the Astra,quite smart really though i dont need them all but its interesting.
