    Hi all

    I've just had one or two hiccups from my 1.8 Vectra (S reg). It's under
    warranty from the garage that sold it to me so there's not going to be any
    hassle (I hope). But I did wonder what was involved in cleaning one of
    these. I believe you are supposed to lubricate them as well but where and
    how much?

    My Haynes BoL is on the post so I thought I'd ask here first.

    Rusted and ropy.

    or just plain Jurassic:
    all words to describe me.

    OK thanks. Having had a good google today it appears that it's the solenoid
    that people recommend lubing.
