As some of you know my omega sprang a sizeable coolant leak on the way to work yesterday morning.

Now I have ordered a HBV as that seems the likely cause.

Now with the plenum off and with the gaskets, cam seals a full set of 3.0 cams, cam locking kit in my conservatory shall I go the whole hog?

New hbv, 3.0 cams, 3.0 throttle body, new cambelt kit, new aux belt, new water pump?

If I do this is there anyone willing to help me? And anyone with a vauxhall trade card who can help me buy the belt kit and water pump?

Thanks

I've taken my time a fully cleaned the throttle body that came off the 3.0.....butterfly edges...breather routes etc

Just noticed I dont have the O-rings for the rocker cover bolts and payday on the 31st so the cams may have to wait for a few weeks

I can help with TC for anything that can be posted... unless you're down in the SE and can collect?
Alas, no more Omegas....

My work gets me near three Vx dealers when I can buy TC bits, these are Sudbury in Suffolk, Brent Cross/Staples Corner in North London, and Gillingham/Rainham in Kent... are you near any of those?
