She is lovely only 90k, mot till jan next year, if anyone wants to make me a offer for the car as a whole pm me and I will consider it (saves me a job)

Did love this car but I work all over now n the v6 is killing my wallet

Hello there,
If you are willing to help out an owner from the USA, I would be interested in either of the Opel Grills you have.  Our car here is called the Cadillac Catera, and prefer the look of the Opel Grill.  Is the color coded grill BLACK with the Silver trim as seen in the photo.

Hello, I am interested in the Opel Grill.  Can you post a photo of just the grill?  I will pay with shipping charges to the USA.  I can provide proof of my reliability, my eBay feedback rating in the USA is 650+  100% feedback.

Kinda getting bored of telling you to have a quick glance at the forum rules.  We didn't take all that time and effort to write them purely for the fun of it  >:(

You told me me another member had bought them :-/
Title: Re: Last pics of her
Post by: matty on 18 May 2010, 13:08:38
they was left on ebay in the end, as other member didnt get back to me,

all gone i think now, i asked nicely if i could post a for sale thread like other members seem to have done,but was rejected so i posted it on ebay, which has got nothing to do with the site as ebay offers its own buyer protection,

well someone had put a bid in so i couldnt retract the item,

my origional thread was to put pics up before i took her apart for good but someone bought her,

end of doesnt matter now, admin can lock, delete this, and my account if need be as i am now proud owner of a bmw m5

That's not really the attitude, mate.

I believe the comment was made politely and respectfully, so perhaps the "I don't give a damn" type  comments were inappropriate? I suppose that because you have sold your car and bought another one not related to this forum, you can now say what you like and leave??

Very Adult.   NOT.
Title: Re: Last pics of her
Post by: matty on 18 May 2010, 17:15:45
Well I apologise, all I was trying to do was let some members see it, if there was a general ebay link section I would put it in there, I saw other members creat threads and ask em to be moved and it was done, but then when I was told no, I thought it was a easy solution as it offered protection,

Anyway my sincerest apologies guys, I just had an annoying past 4 months with this car and to the end of my teather with it,

Hi Andy, not sure if your post was aimed at me, however I did not get any of the extras when I bought the car.  Just the car, so I dont have any of the other items.  Thanks.

Post by: matty on 01 June 2010, 13:52:32
glad she is being looked after!! loved that car,

so much so, i got a signum to replace it, had it a week and every light known to man lit up and took it back to the dealer, they opted to refund me!!

so i got a good deal on a m5! but was way to thirsty and i been offered another house for a steal of a price,

so i went out and bought a facelift 3.0 elite! lol

Hi Matty,  took me a while, longer than this kind of job would normally, but I got there in the end.  Everytime I thought I was winning along came another bolt in a place you could not get too - very frustrating!!  The cambelt had indeed NOT been changed and the tensioner had failed.  This caused the inlet valves to hit the pistons and bent them.  Luckily they did not damage the piston tops - just marked them.  Got some pictures if your interested, pm me your email address again.  Cheers for now.

Cheers! I will do, i am taking the garage owner to court over it as I lost a fair bit of work over it!
