2 of my 4 Vectras had steering rack issues.
One of them also threw an Engine Management Fault - turned out to be an electric sunroof issue (even though there was no sunroof fitted )
Tailgate doorlock solenoid went on the 806.

The worst I have had was the 3.0D Isuzu Trooper I ran between May '01 and May '04...
49K - New Gearbox - ended up on the M1 with just 2nd and 4th
51K - New cylinder head. Pressured the cooling system full of fuel - there were some grim faces in the service dept at this one!! First I knew of it was the puddle of fuel on the drive from the overflow.
52K - No oil pressure. Having been returned by the dealer with it's new head there was no oil pressure at startup. Turns out that vibration had cracked the pick up pipe, which then fell off in the sump.
55K - Blown turbo. Probably something to do with the oil pressure problem. Exhaust had to be changed because it was clogged with oil.
96K - Another new gearbox. Got very noisy, difficult to change and jumped out of 1st.
Other than that, it was just great (!). Have to say, it was a fantastic tow vehicle - in a totally different league the TD5 Disco that replaced it, and not too far off the Disco3 - although in all other respects it wouldn't bear comparison with a Landie.Arctic Frost TDV6 5-seat
Terrain response
Climate control
Xenons
(Yes, it's an odd spec - but I like it!)
