What happened to the love of cars? for me it's not all about money maybe because I don't have that much

Nope, facelift did have same engines as mini-facelift at launch, 2.2 came in 2000, 2.6/3.2 DBW's were fitted in 2001 onwards

Small mistake Tunnie.
2.2 engine was available since facelift was launched.
mine is October 1999.

Not in Vauxhall trim

Ok, thanks Boy for correcting me.
Sorry Tunnie my mistake then.

Well, my pondering about whether to break or fix up and sell the 3.2 Elite has come to an end. The decision has been made for me due to the fact that it appears the bottom end is seized solid  .Try as I might the bottom crank pulley wont budge even a millimetre. Will be interesting to see why when it gets pulled apart. Blocked oil strainer possibly ? :-/

A bummer that Albs, my 2.6 had picked up on the Crank, even with a 3ft bar I couldn't move it. Vauxhall's clever idea of 20,000 mile oil changes no doubt

The oil did look like boiled plimsoles.
