I am idly wondering about my 02 2.6V6 with 81k miles on the clock.
It's a lovely car and I only do a few thousand miles a year in it. However, it has always had the blue smoke problem of those iffy valve stem seals that Vauxhall fitted in 2001-02 and now I have a slight oil leak somewhere (noted as an advisory in the last MoT).
I'm a tad too old to fix anything myself (and don't have my own driveway or garage), so i was wondering whether it would be worth having someone recondition the engine. Yes, it would cost a few bob, but whether or not I keep it, I would hate to see it ending up in a crusher. It's completely rust-free, full leather and so on and drives like a dream.
Is it worth considering? And can anyone recommend an engine recon person who actually knows about these engines and cares about doing a good job?
As I said, I'm just idly considering options...
