You should have just left it in the capable hands of the mechanics of in local Vauxhall garage having deposited your credit card with the pretty service receptionist. They could then have given you a right royal Christmas shafting leaving you with more debt then the Republic of Ireland and generally filling their boots feeding off your hard earned money. They would have loved it and you've just selfishly denied them.

sadly, in the course of this thread, none of us have advised you that only genuine gm gaskits from vx should be used.

These cost £80 retail with o rings, or there abouts. So they'll be using cheap pattern parts that will fail in 3 months or some sort of gaskit seal that will blow the crank seal if the breathers arent clear.

See the guides in maintenance its a well covered subject on here.
