Cheaper to get this than get heaters fixed in miggy... But I will miss it

Wouldn't have thought so , depending what issues you have  If your mig is in good nick and you've spent quite a bit already on it just get it fixed . At least you know whats been done already

Will cost the price of head gaskets to be done....

£300 will fix that

I had a Vectra once and really liked it I bought it to replace a cavalier,the only thing I didn't like about the Vectra was it wouldn't go round corners where as the cav did and to replace the Vectra I bought..........yes my first omega v6 auto and I loved that car.since ive had discos/sharans a bighorn and another omega but currently have a voyager v6 and like it erm back on track haha Vectra 12 months mot £300 buy the bugger and worry bout owt later you can get another mig oh another thing I found with the Vectra was the slightest moisture and the wheels spun for fun

[vauxsull]

Surely more than £300 for head gasket to be done? It is a V6 not a 4 pot !!

Hercules you are right it don't go around any corner at speed....(rear wheels for drive front wheels for steer) and yep don't go pulling off quickly In the wet as you wont go anywhere....but then see above

V6, more than £300, by the time your ready to fire it back up.

I your doing a like for like, £300 on Veccy with Mot, 12 months cheaper motoring, worst case £120 drive in scrap for the Veccy after 12 months, assuming you cant be arsed to to sell seats, wheels and bits before scrapping.

I could just get one of them portable plug in heaters and keep the miggy

Where is a 'Head Banging smiley' when you need one......................

[vauxsull]

I can be frustrating at times hehe

Hmmm,

Ok, try this, forget the Veccy, doesn't exist, its gone finished, not available anymore, the guy got fed up awaiting, someone else is driving it around now.

Now, go and talk to your Bank Manager and get the Miggy fixed.

Veccy not available till end of next month anyway... Miggy isn't worth spending silly money on either... Hence silly idea of portable heater

Work out and see if there are any things that need doing at all to the vectra so that you dont have to spend another £300 fixing it , parts can soon add up .. even tyres .

I could be mistaken... Vec C has the Z22 lump, Omega gets the X22 lump, I guess it's possible the facelift Vec B has a chaindriven Y22 lump...

I' m sure someone brighter will be along soon enough

It does have the chain driven power plant, the 2.2 belt driven long stroke was never fitted in the Vectra.

Only issues were the chain plus tensioner but, if its lasted this long, its either been replaced or well serviced,

It's not really 'for sale' then, is it?

Anything can happen in the next five weeks.
