Well no peace for me this morning, up at 7AM again, off into town and collected the 2.2 head for my dads Omega. Cost £47 for it to be skimmed, quite steep but they did a damn good job. James was impressed when he saw it.
Then off to Vauxhall dealer, got there 8:20 (opens at 8:30) the guy was already there, had all the bits i request. Again impressed!
Back to mine, Mars bar for breakfast & a cookie, then James turned up in his shinny new facelift. After i gave that a good 'test' over to TheBoy's for some tools, and tempt him with free breakfast at mine
Got going on my dads 2.2 started around 10:15 ish... car was running by 5PM.... took a while but we plodded along nicely.
Gave my dads car a good spanking to burn off some of the excess oil, runs fine now
- Still needs a bolt on the exhaust joint, as thats not on right. and the Temp sensor seams to have fallen off, thats a job for tomorrow.
I would like to say a HUGE, HUGE, [size=16]HUGE[/size] thanks from myself and father tunnie for James tireless efforts in getting this done. Not once, but TWICE he has driven all the way from Cheltenham to come help me out.
This kind of friendship and kindness is very rare, and words fail me to say how thankful both me and father tunnie feel.
Thanks James
Also thanks to Jamie for spending the afternoon helping out, although he seamed to be complaining most of the time!
Any who also putt the oil cooler and 2.5 Elite back together... got it all done. Filled it will coolant, and hear water tricking *uh oh* look under the car, and water is pooring out between the engine and the gearbox
Its pooring down the front smaller gearbox sump, dunno what i left off but it just poors out
After that we popped James new facelift in the garage, did a V6 timing check on it, changed the gearbox oil, and engine oil!
What a day....
But want to say thanks again to James
