Why am I having trouble refuelling my Vauxhall Vectra?
I bought a Vauxhall Vectra Exclusive 1.8 2008 in January this year. I haven't used the car much in the past, but now I have started to use it a little bit more, I've noticed when I go to fuel up that the nozzle keeps clicking off and it takes me ages to get ten pounds of petrol in the tank. Can you help?

Problem with the fuel tank breather. The pipe might be flattened somewhere.

Far better than previous Vectra. Now with decent handling and an excellent ride. Plenty of safety kit. Roomy in the front. Big boot. Good looks.
