Went to look at it and t is the dogs whatsits, only thing, when it first started there was a loud fast ticking from the top of the engine, this went after about 3 - 4 mins, could it have been the manifold gasket, it was not a tapping noise (cam), it was deffo a ticking.

I could be wrong Pete, but I think the 2.2 suffer from cracked exhaust manifolds.

£130 vx price trade i paid 2yrs ago but they say its better to get a good second hand one as they have warped all they are going to.

second hand one £50 - £75.

if im wrong i am sure the fellas will say something.

The ticking went after about 3-4 mins, would it do that if it was the injectors

Most likely a very minor exhaust blow. The 4 pots do suffer from manifold problems but it's not a big job. As said, use it as a bargaining point, it's easy to put right once you get it home :y

Just showed the piccies of this to SWMBO.

SHE LOVES IT!

(believe you me, she is really picky)

Her shortlist was Ford Cougar V6 or an Astra Bertone 2.2.

Guess what I am going to be pushing her towards now? ;)
