Come to realise the “non-smooth” leather seats are getting quite rare. That’s an 03 and it’s got the smooth stuff.

I know the 2.6's were known to suffer with valve guide oil seals, are the 3.2's similar?

I am genuinely gutted, I saw this last night, about 1 hour after the manual box Omega was taken  :-\

No. Our experience is that this just affected a batch of 2.6 engines of around 2001 vintage.

Mr Beanz is correct.

I owned a 2.6 manual with a gearbox designed by Massey Ferguson.

Later model years (2002, 2003) don't seem to suffer so I'm guessing it was a defective batch of stem seals.

Think the 2.2 needs a manual, had one for 12 years, great car. The manual is not the best experience though  :(

I will however admit that the full fat 3.2 and auto totally transforms the car, into an effortless powerful cruiser.

I found my 2.2 Sport auto perfectly acceptable for making progress, but actually quite a tidy handling car... LSC and no servotronic being the suspected reasons why.

My current manual 2.2 is flat at the top end, but I am not 100% sure if the timing is right as it struggles to rev over 4,500 ??? Something which will be addressed once the MoT is passed. Fitting the inlet and turbo from the Astra Gsi... is on the option list at some point in the future, although if it fails horrendously on rusty bits, then the engine could have a second wind in summat else :-\
