Need to confirm a few part No. before Friday. I have just picked up the parts I need to do the cam cover's and the dealer has given me the below parts which I don't know if they are correct fot an 03 3.2 can anyone help.

1. Rocker gasket X2 GM55351456 are they correct.
2. Seal ring X4 V0012992647 what are they for

They don't seem to have given me the Inlet bridge to head gasket what is the correct number

All the rest I have as per the maintenance guide. I need to know as will have to pick up friday hope they have them.

Thanks for any help. :-? :-/

Joff, I've just got the complete kit from AndyC (Vxl parts manager and top man on OOF)

I can go and check the part no. of all the bits in the kit if you need me to?

One thing though, the very last 3.2's have different cam cover gaskets.  AndyC checked mine from my reg no.  Might just be worth checking if you haven't already? 

[joff]

Mine is not one of the last ones but he said he could not find a number fo 3.2's so may have used the one for 2.6. can you pm me the numbers and I will check with what I have. Thanks

Got all my bits from Vauxhall Parts World earlier today, so will be loading up the car with all and sundry tomorrow ready for the day out on Saturday 

[SMD]

Looks like I wont be able to make it due to work.   

Have fun

Sorry to hear you can't make it though... Nothing too serious I hope

Nothing serious, just an unexpected reshuffling of plans to accommodate things that are happening sooner than expected - partly my own fault and partly that the tree surgeon gave me a timescale of 'now, or in 5 weeks' and it had to be 'now' :-/

Could i pick it up on the way through sat morning?

Yep that's no problem - I've got to be here to get ready for the aforementioned tree surgeon anyway I'll PM you my number & address, just give me a bell when you set off.

I can pop in to Halfords tomorrow LD, if you can tell me what to get.

Thanks... I'll be passing 2 or 3 anyway so probably just as easy for me to pop into one

Chrisgixer.         dif and ATF change.
Entwood ...        ATF change & Tech2 check of gearbox software
Lazydocker...      Oil and filter change, fuel filter, clean ICV, repair wiring to Outside Temp Sensor and (most importantly!) sort sticking handbrake.
TheBoy...           CamCover gaskets (MV6)
Sethsmate ...     Tech2 chat
Jack86...           ATF change and oil and filter, glove box handle and fitting my HID's.
Twiglet...           ATF and Diff oil change, move pre-cat lamdas, resolve mis-fire issue (coil-packs/cam cover gaskets), Tech2 chat.
Taxi Al...             Cambelt, waterpump, breathers, cruise activation. general service bits if time
aaronjb...           Camcover gasket on pass. side & tech2 w/ g/box check/upgrade pretty please
Kieran ....           Cam cover gaskets 2.6, Thermostat housing seal also
Shakeng....         Front/rear bush check(may as well do the rears?)
Kevin Wood...      Dif seal, Relocate Lambda sensors / try "anti-fouler" solution.

Gives
ATF change x4
dif related x3
Lambda related x2.

Cam cover seals x3
Cam belt/water pump x1(only 1?)
Stat housing x1
Handbrake x1
and a bunch of easy service stuff
Tech2 for most I guess? Guess there will be two present?

So, we have one lift and two pits as I understand it? I reckon they should cover the dif ATF and lambda jobs in a day. ATF should be doable in an hour with proper access and pumpy thing.( two gaskets, ATF and clean the filter). The rest there should be time for in other bays at ground level....?  ESP with a Daz bombing round the place. 

No suspension stuff so far. 

Where's best place to get ATF sumps gaskets?

I've only just seen this post, and stealer is unable to get rear bushes until Tuesday, so scratch that off the list. Sorree! 

[joff]

All set now, Have checked with andyC and I have the correct parts. All going well will be doing the following.

1. Cam belt
2. Water pump
3. Cam cover gaskets
4. Breathers
5. Oil and filter
6. Plugs
7. System check with Tech2(please TB )

a long list but hope I will be able to finish it all otherwise it will be under the car on the drive on Monday. The misfire was back yesterday morning but not so bad, will be looking for that oil around plug No.2. See you all Saturday, looking forward to it.

[Jim]

I think I've got all my parts:

Cam Belt Kit
Oil Filter & Oil
New Thermostat & O Rings etc
VX Coolant
