Yes, and when undertaking this kind of work I believe it is always best to put brand new, genuine Vx parts in. 8-) 8-) Can save a lot of heartache developing later! ::) ::) :y

Errr thats serious, go to Vauxhall.
Its around £90 for everything from a dealer.
Pattern is FALSE economy, if you going to the bother of stripping that far down, get decent parts!

I wasn't trying to funny, if you want to stick a secondhand oil cooler in thats up to you...

as said further up the thread, VX give the best bang per buck. Chap that first referred was not trying to be smart, just giving straight answer to straight question...

fair does
humble apologies :'(
just thought someone may know of a good deal from motor factors etc ...i'm new to the v6 :-/
-
No problem :y sometimes people get the wrong end of the stick, bit like texting really...
Vauxhall do them for around £100 plus i suppose you will get a warranty with it.
With a secondhand one you really dont know how long it will last being fair, even if its much better than the one your replacing.

seemed a fair reply to me ;D, vx prices cam be a joke(wishbones), can also be very reasonable ( spark plugs) :y

here is list of parts what you need fot that job http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1211220529
when I was replace my oil cooler few month ago cost me 120 quid for parts, with TC round 90quid

I know it has already been said above, but to clarify and re-iterate.
The oil cooler was a known fault until they replaced them with Stainless steel jobbies. By not fitting a genuine one you'll only be asking for trouble and re-introduce the "fault".
It is often not worth going to Vx for parts, but sometimes it is strongly recommended. It depends on which part, and the oil cooler is one of them
-
As said of Vauxhall, but make sure you get the KIT at £90ish, not the individual parts at £300ish!
Edit, seen you are local, Lookers at Deeside know the kit you need :y

Do you know when they changed? Is it possible that this is something I don't need to worry about failing on my 2000 reg pre facellift?
TIA

OK, will carry on worrying then ;D
My antifreeze mix is 50%, I am careful with that knowing how important it is in maintaining the oil cooler.
