Just got hold of a July 02 2.2 auto saloon in blue 69k on the clock, heated seats still work, normal Omega fault with drivers door ( parts in my garage) leaking cam cover so new seals needed and paid sub 500 notes. What do you think. I know 2 cylinders missing but remember his Elite is a 2.2dti which may or may not be going due to the fuel pump problem.

Sounds good to me, if it would work properly I think the 2.2 drives fine for general use

Sounds about the right money , long as your happy with it thats the main thing

Head gasket is an easy job if it goes

Ive got one but with manual gears. Im happy with it done a few jobs on it like cam cover gasket, cam sensor. Coil pack boots, door check strap bushes all very easy tbh. Fuel consumption could be a bit better but hey ho I like it

Is the cam belt still 40k-4 years the same as the V6 ?

Is there a locking kit or just go on timing marks.

As above and every belt change,too often overlooked with dire results.

Have yet to do one, but I believe it is simply a matter of locking the cams with piston one at tdc

Don't know when the last one was done so if he or I keep it, think it's best.
