Just do it properly, else it'll be an eyesore...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.. I have relocated mine and its fine, far better than the totally bonkers original location   

V6 was designed for Vectra, fitted in that car, its location makes perfect sense 

Exactly!

Anyone got any pics of the relocation?  Did you do it with the standard plug leads?

I have this job for the weekend, now beginning to wonder whether it's worth relocating.

Oh, and to those who have done the job, is it a plenum off job if changing the HT leads, or is there a clever way around it?

Cheers,
James

You cant do it with the standard leads. Get some aftermarket ones, Unipart, Bosch, or similar. I had to trim approx 40mm off the top capping of the cable/vac pipe trunking to allow the dis pack power lead to come forward sufficently to plug onto the relocated dis.  I left the old dis pack c/w leads still attached in position and just tucked the old leads out of the way there are some pics already on here somewhere- search for dis pack relocation

Of course you meant Chavalier, not Vectra

Steady on, chaps! I had a 1992 Cavalier GSi, which I still consider to be the best car I've ever had, although the Omega is starting to supplant it in my affections!

It was Diamond Black like the Omega and I had a s/s Magnex exhaust fitted with cat replacement pipe. And no, it wasn't a chavvy drainpipe exhaust!

I was even sad enough to take a gallery of photos of it.....

Yes - relocate!

I relocated mine on the 3.0 V6 to just in front of the oil filler neck.

Right well its irrelevant now...spend 90 minutes this morning taking off the plenum, upper manifold etc, putting the dispack back where it should be and putting it back together...

Main thing is of course that the car now runs like a dream and purrs like a kitten

It just needs something to cover the dispack and stop water leaking onto it...any ideas??

It's already there ... the scuttle ....  you just need to stop THAT leaking !!! Wiper spindles and the "join" of the 2 parts on the right hand side are the common leakage poits

I still reckon the dispack could do with an umbrella!
