Vectra cabin noise
Has anybody got experience of a vectra c. Just purchased one last week and even on smooth roads it seems noisy from the rear. Had an earlier vectra
and it seemed quieter to me. Could it be tyres or bearings or something else? It has done 70k miles.
Thanks for any advice.

What sort of noise?
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

You've just bought it, did the bloke you bought it off look a bit dodgy, I'd check there's nobody in the boot

If it is a knocking noiseit will be the rear upper outer bushes.

The noise is more of a contant drone. It is noticable at most speeds.

Mine's the same... sounds like a lot of tyre roar? I just put the parcel shelf in and fill the boot with crap.

I'd go with tyre noise, my daily driver is a Civic, it's silent at tickover, I mean totally silent, at 70 you have to shout if you want to
talk to someone, Vredsteins on it, must try something else
