Steams

The black stuff will reseal with a bit of heat on it. No need to replace it.

Heat gun is fine mate, it's what I used. Don't forgot that the rubber is held on by 4 metal guards, you'll need to remove these as well :)

Looks like she's snapped off a fresh tagnut to me :lol:

Don't know about a pin phone but when I was a lad my sisters were running up huge bills phoning their boyfriends and mates. My dad got fed up with it and got a payphone so they had to put 10p in for about 5mins (this was in the '80's). The phone came with a key so it could be changed to free calls. Maybe something like that would help?

I have and there isn't :kiss:

Sorry to hear this mate.

Considering the amount of work involved, I'd say that's a very good price matey :)

It could be that my soldering iron isn't hot enough then as iirc it's a 15w one.

I've always struggled to get solder to stick to crimps though.

Stop bringing me into it :lol:

It's from my Racelogic TC and I'd like to get the correct crimpers for them but haven't got a clue what they are. The total lenght of the crimp is about 2cm. Any help would be great :) Cheers PS Sorry for the blurry pic....

£1200 is a good price mate, your looking at around £600 just in parts and that is including a s/h clutch etc. It is also quite a labour intensive job; Remove your autobox and convertor, change spigot bushes, replace flywheel, install clutch and pressure plate, put gearbox on, fill gearbox with oil, punch out panel in firewall, install brake pedal, connect to vacumm (if needed). Install clutch fluid lines, fill with clutch fluid and bleed Then on top of all that you have to do the wiring and the console for the gearstick. Takes a bit of time to do that lot. EDIT: forgot about the front half of the prop as well :)

I think you have gone out of your way to help this chap. Has he sent the "faulty" injector back to you for testing? As most warrenties would require testing of the item before being fixed or replaced. As you've said, it sounds like he has a problem else where that is causing this failure. Anybody who has dealt with you knows that you are an honest, helpful and passionate person who goes out of his way to help us owners.

I thought the Bee Gee lyrics were "You came to me in a submarine" when they really are "You came to me on a summer breeze" :)

Get 'em sued Jane. Can you not also claim for all the extra expense this shed has cost you?

lol You washed it away mate?

If its a s1 or s2 then 15btdc at idle when upto temp.

Was expecting to read this years ago.

Bare in mind that that is the refill amount. Mine took a bit more but then I had flushed the external cooler as well.

Has the water pump been changed recently? If not i'd change it, the thermostat and coolant.

Thanks for all the replies mates, I'll give the bugger a service and see if that helps. I've tried swearing and shouting at it but it didn't help. lol EDIT: just bought a new air filter and oil one for £11 posted on the bay, damn this vectra's expensive :lol:

Happy days mate lol

What Mankini yellow?

Good choice mate, that centre panel did nothing for the looks imo.

I thought that the Z31 turbo had the VG30DET installed anyway? EDIT: My mistake, aparently it wasn't.
