Treated the V6 to a fresh oil filter and fully synth oil, had,nt changed it in a while so was very black, so will change again in a couple of weeks, mate has borrowed the old girl for a run to cornwall this weekend so will give it a good run.
I have to admit to neglecting it abit, so have some making up to do. ::)

Need to do my 3. Especially as the chavmobile has some emergency Castrol Magnatec shite in it ;D.

However, just checked, not enough fresh oil. Or any filters for the MV6  :-[

I suppose I had better do mine seeing as I will be keeping it after it passed the MOT with only two advisories. ;)
One was that the O/S/R tyre was nearly flat - need to get the wheels refurbed to stop that happening  :(
The other was for an oil leak due to the oil pan having rusted through. I put a request in for sale and wanted last year for a used one but got no response so I suppose I will have to pay £54 for one at Evans Halshaw (before I change the oil)

SWMBO has nicked it and taken it to Scotland for the weekend, due to me not fixing her Discovery in time as I have to work. :'(

Washed the little Fiat Panda, first time for 4 months looks smart now SWMBO will be pleased.

Done :y
I did a search to see what I asked for last time - I can't find any such advert which might explain the lack of response  ;D ;D

Stripped down the induction system on the 2.5 and compression tested the beast:
cylinders  5=14bar       6=12bar
               3=9bar        4=11bar
               1=12.5bar   2=14.5bar

Now to strip the heads off and investigate further/
2.5V6 Had it since 2002, what a beast, worth the time and effort to keep it road worthy. Vauxhall bring them back!!! Laser timing kit for OOF member hire
