my man at the car hospital tells me that he did an Omega two years ago and it cost over a grand, valves, valve guides, blah blah blah (stuff over my head) doesn't he realise it's a Vauxhall not a Zonda,or a Massararti, and due to the festivities I may not see it till first week of January.
How can I sleep at nights. and if that nots bad enough he's lent me a Ford Escort, you can call me fat if you want, but it's like trying to get Dolly Parton in to my wifes C cup. ::)

That's a lot of money. I off Ebay item 130183073405. 65 quid, and a few other odds and sods.

If it needs valve guides and the like it's really not that expensive to get them done.

Add a few hours labour - even a day's labour. How he got to a grand beats me.

What a thieving git....

He needs to remove the head and send it to this guy...

He will re-build the head with new valves, skimmed and guides where required and include a head gasket kit for 199 quid......

So your man only has to remove and re-fit the thing.

Cor! wish I'd found him when my Laguna chewed up one if its' cam bearings a couple of years back. Paid a lot more than that for a recon head. (including cam, admittedly, but a poverty spec 8v one).

I agree with Mark.... not a long job to do on a 4 pot. I've done a few.

My vectra, top end kit INC valves, was only £99

Where are you? I'll fix it for £500  ;D ;D ;D ;D
