I don't think your wrong on that, I have been stupid enough once before but as they say, "once bitten, twice shy".

If this is the one your thinking of:

Then I can't agree more, stunning motor, great history, even low miles but, unfortunately, I cannot go that far especially as is just going to be a plaything for me.  Also, it has obvioulsy been brilliantly looked after and, to be honest, it deserves a better owner than I.

Within 6 months the sills/rear bumper would be scratched by my chair and the interior damaged, where I get my chair in/ out and other items ,especially if it's rainning and I need to get in/out quickly, things can happen.

It's not that I'm careless, I don't like ruinning my own stuff and get really "off" with myself, if I do, not just with a car but anything.  I was taught to look after what is yours.  If I could buy it, it would have whatever was needed when needed but, it REALLY needs to go to someone who is going to keep it as a Future Classic, I know Vauxhalls don't rate the same prices as some other brands but, it's deffinately something which needs a dedicated keeper, preferably with a garage, which I don't have.

I can't find anything in TIS directly .. but have found this in Autodata ..  clearly shows that from MY 97 onwards it is 4 yrs or 40,000 miles. Hope that helps

Hi, I'd be interested in knowing what changed on the V6 engine in '97 to facilitate the shorter interval length, anyone ??

Collapsing tensioners costing Vauxhall a lot of money in warranty claims.

With regard to any cam belt change and road tax these are issues for the buyer, not the seller and we wont reduce the asking price of the vehicle on these points.

PMSL. The fact is, they reduce the value of the car. Can't expect to sell a car for top dollar if it needs a £400 cam belt change so it's very much an issue for the seller, IMHO.

Let him stew for a while. There are other fish in the sea, and when he's had it sitting around a while his neck might get wound in a little.

Haha....Yeah, undoubtedly but what I'm getting at is, why is the shorter interval length not applicable to pre '97 engines ??

THey were probably out of warranty by the time the revert to 40K was instigated
