This is the genuine main dealer tool kit, not to be confused with the budget tool brands.

To anyone not in the know, this kit is essential when changing the timing belt on the Vauxhall and Saab V6 engines and covers the full range - Omega, Cavalier, Calibra, Vectra, Sintra, etc. and the Saab V6 models too.

All 5 components of the kit are present and correct - 2 x cam locks, crank holding/position tool, belt wedge (stops the belt slipping off the crank while you fit the rest of the belt) and the cam timing gauge.  Also included is the proper Kent Moore roller adjuster/holding tool which is basically a 30mm deep offset spanner.

Complete with original carry case.  £60 plus postage.

£40 plus postage or can be collected (Stirling, Central Scotland)

As title, selling the wheels I had fully refurbished (stripped back to alloy and powder coated) in January 2019.

Wheels are finished in dark shadow chrome and fitted with new Hankook Ventus V12 evo2 235/45/17 tyres which have only covered about 200 miles - the Hankook logo is still visible on the centre band.

There is a also fifth matching spare rim with no tyre fitted.

Refurb cost £300, tyres were £270, will accept £400 to get them out of my way.  Collection from FK10 3DT, Alloa, Central Scotland.

Can't post photos as my photobox account has expired, pm me with email and I'll send them to you.

For Sale: Diff and driveshafts from 3L V6 3.7:1 ratio, less than 90k no noise or whine.  Removed from a '96 manual Elite.

£75 collected from FK10 Scotland, can probably post for around £30 extra.

Can mail photos if required (it looks like any other Omega diff)

Hi folks

The clear plastic bezel around the drivers door lock has disintegrated on my '99 mini facelift and is allowing water inside the door when it rains.  This is the part that effectively forms a seal between the lock barrel and the door handle plate.

Anyone got a spare, happy to buy a complete door handle and since this part is not colour coded the colour makes no difference :)

Part 21 as highlighted.




Cheers,
Stephen

After a working pair of BOSE front door main speakers to keep as spares - I've had both fail previously (also had the amp fail in the past but I have a good spare).

11
As title, need a BOSE amp for a '99 pre-facelift.

Dampness in the boot has killed the current one.

Cheers

I've come across a facelift 2.2 petrol CDX going very cheap that is almost entirely rust free - tiny amount of surface rust at lower edge of rear door shuts that could easily be stopped in its tracks.

Trouble is, the current owner is removing the engine and gearbox for a classic car project.

I have a spare 3L V6 engine and box, but is it an easy transplant?

Guessing the front clip will need to be changed out, but what about things like the exhaust hangers, inner wing mounts for header tanks, etc.?

13
As title - need a headlight washer pump for '99 pre-facelift

If anyone has any of the sliding tube things that bolt onto the underside of the headlight (GM # 90510268) I'll take those too

Time to get these out from under my feet..

For sale, stripped 3L V6 engine with approx. 140k miles which had suffered head gasket failure on cylinder no.6, cams already sold.

3L V6 bottom end, good oil pressure, compression was good before head gasket failed.  £60

3L V6 heads with straight valves.  £50 each

Or £120 for the bottom end and both heads.
