Vauxhall Vectra


The Vauxhall Vectra was a roomy car with decent workhorse engines which was at its best on the motorway.  The Vectra had a long presence in the British car market and as much as it was never really a top seller it had a long term mass appeal, meaning there are still many of them on the road.  The Vectra ended production in 2008 and was replaced by the slightly bigger Insignia.  The parallels between the two are clearly visible – the Insignia is also best described as a Cruiser and is ideal for notching up motorway miles, but in terms of engineering excellence and style Vauxhall have moved up a level.

One of the most striking facts about the new Insignia is that it can travel 750 miles between fill ups.  This obviously won’t necessarily save you any money, but it will lessen those exasperating trips to the fuel pump.  

What will save you money is the 2.0 CDTi’s impressive fuel economy. The ecoFlex diesel engine offers 58.9mpg on the extra urban cycles and still achieves 0-60mph in an impressive 8.9 seconds.
As mentioned previously, the Insignia is ideal for those putting in the motorway miles.  At high speeds it has one of the lowest drag coefficients of any practical car on the road.  The drag figures are those you would more readily associate with a sports car.

The Insignia is particularly aerodynamic because of its super sleek new design.  Graceful is a word that springs to mind.  It’s as big as almost any car on the road but it doesn’t look cumbersome.  The bonnet is sturdy yet dashing due to a wide lower grille and sleek headlamps which taper towards the wing mirrors.

The Vauxhall Vectra is still a brand that features heavily on our roads and the Insignia looks set to pick up the baton where the Vectra left off.  There are many available models of the car and they can be found for cheap prices on motors.co.uk. The Vectra was a comfortable car above all else and for any second hand buyer looking for a sturdy performer, it would be ideal.

Ford Spoiler Info

Imagine your Ford auto without auto lights—your car or truck would definitely be boring! But more than enhancing your vehicle’s exterior looks, auto lights help a lot in keeping your vehicle safe and sound as you drive it down the road. Without lights, your Ford auto would be like a blind man groping in the dark. The Ford headlights are among the most important lights in your Ford. They provide illumination for you to drive by and keep your car visible, especially at night in harsh weather conditions.



Auto lights are among the most lasting parts in a vehicle, but just like other exterior auto parts they are exposed to damaging elements that may cause them to lose their original luster. Replacing your Ford headlights as well as other exterior

Forklift Parts Info

There are several components that all forklifts have in common. These forklift parts are vital to the operation of the equipment. Forks, brake components, and transmissions are some of the parts that are purchased most often.



Forklift parts can be purchased from several sources. Both new and used parts are usually available wherever forklifts are sold. Many dealerships have extensive catalogues that list the parts they have available. There are a number of different manufacturers of forklift parts. The same company that made the forklift can make the replacement parts or a generic maker can manufacture them.

The forks are possibly the most important component of the forklift. Without quality forks, the lift is not able to transport cargo efficiently. The forks, also called blades or tines, vary greatly from model to model. Most forks are made of steel. Forks differ in the amount of weight they can handle. Weaker model forks can safely lift 900 pounds, while heavy-duty forks are capable of lifting several tons. It is important to note that a forklift’s weight capacity depends on much more than just the forks. The engine size and the strength of the lifting system also play important roles in determining how much a forklift can safely carry.
