hi there guys

just a quick question I have a 2.2 petrol the problem I have is that my suspension looks low on the back and high on the front it was not too bad before I put on the elite alloys and boot spoiler now it looks awful at times.
I have checked all the suspension everything is ok.
can I put lowering springs on but which ones do I go for to make it look better 30mm-40mm

Omega General Help / cylinder head replacement

« on: 20 October 2014, 09:47:13 »

hi guys

just to ask if anyone knows where I can get a cylinder head from for a 2.2 2002 engine number z22xe and anyone that can fit it

my fault entirely I had 2 broken studs and I tried to  drill out and tap but it has gone all wrong I was more worried about drilling through the head into the water jacket I got one stud in but it just turns when I try and tighten the nut around so it is not sealing.

at the moment I have sealed with holts exhaust gum.
I have had enough I just want it sorted.

is it easy to change a cylinder head as I know you need to change the head gasket and bolts.

please help

Omega General Help / 2.2 cambelt and water pump change urgent help needed

« on: 19 September 2014, 22:29:08 »

hi everyone

please can someone please help me I have a 2.2cd petrol automatic on start up it is very noisy  but calms down after a little while also makes like a tapping noise under acceleration you can hear it when you pass obstacles. I have also noticed in my loads of service records that the timing belt was last changed in 2008. I know that these cars belts need to be changed every 40,000mls or 4 years whichever is sooner. it is now if the records are correct 6 yrs.

I really do not want to be cheeky but is there anyone on here that can help me. I need the timing belt and water pump changed urgently  as I am now terrified to drive it in case it goes. also where would I get a quality timing belt and water pump  from as Vauxhall want over £180.

If anyone has the parts or knows where you can get them cheap please let me know and anyone that can fit them for a fee

I know this sounds really cheeky but I do not intend it to be so honestly I am just desperate. 

if anybody wants to help I live in Birmingham but will travel.

Many thanks.
