Update - Undriveable Astra 1.8 CDX - Godfrey H {P}
The Vauxhall technical rep has driven my friends car and it is to be swapped for a new car.

New Astra 1.8 CDX problems - Godfrey H Mon 29 Apr 02 22:41

A friend of mine has a new Astra which has had driveability problems from new. Symptons are engine shunt and kangaroo hops when changing gears at speeds below 25 mph. Main dealer is giving my friend the run-around. Anybody had a similar problem or know of a specific problem for a particular production batch?
