That'll be a new set of front tyres on my 'Velle 174 then. Arse.
God alone knows how many (few?) miles it'll do on a set when it get chipped
next month. 174bhp/400NM std, 227bhp/572NM when 'breathed upon'.
It does go pretty quick for a van ;)

At last I had some clear time to sort the Vectra. Initially it had been
down on power with the engine management light on, one day it died on the
road. Diagnosis showed the pump had died (very common on these) I fitted
a new pump and it ran, but was still down on power and the eml was on or off
as it felt like.

Cheap and functional are the main criteria. Has anyone got any
recomendations? Don't want anything fancy and will only get used once in a
blue moon so not bothered if it's a bit fiddly (sic) to use.
I did look at the Sealey VS0201 kit which seems ok. Any opinions on it?
Cheers

Hello all
Got a problem with my galaxy I'm hoping you can help with.
The 1st problem I had was the power dying after about 20-30 mins of
driving. After some hunting about in the net the most likely parts
were Coil Packs, MAF or O2 sensor. As I was about to go on a long
journey I bit the bullet and bought the lot.
That fault went away (pretty sure it was a duff coil pack)

Hi all,
This question is maybe ignorant. When you use a hi gauge to measure
compression, could it be a false result - compression too high ? There is a
scale on the hi-gauge which indicates a green zone above 10 bar and below 15
bar, readings outside this zone are marked in red.
Can compression be low, but compensated by oil leakage past the piston rings
? When I had compression of another car...

Hi,
a relative is about to purchase a 2002 ( I think) Vectra 1.8 (petrol)
He's been told that it has a chain, rather than a belt - but I have a
nagging suspicion that it is actually a timing belt.
It's done 60,000 - dunno what the recommended change interval is (if it is a
belt) or whether a belt change has been done previously.
