Would just like to take the opportunity to thank Benny for applying his mechanical skills to my vectra on saturday. thumbup

Top bloke, would recommend him to anyone on here.

Also good to meet fellow member simon. 🙂

As expected despite the milled nut and blue spot the small oil nozzle was in place.

Thanks again

What a top bloke............Started at 9.15am and i was driving home at 11.45.......we even had time to have egg and bacon on toast and cups of tea half way through.

Deffo worth the hassle of getting down there..........and still £270 cheaper than the robbing ba5tdards who should do it for free........

All Vxl parts too.........
Well worth the peice of mind. I felt a lot happier on my drive home.

Thanks again Benny..........

Well I drove up to the west midlands & had the cam chain kit fitted by Benny .

All I can say this chap knows his way round the 2.2 engine & I think Benny was saying that my car was one of the quickest he's fitted the cam chain on ..

Thank you Benny next time I'm up your way pop over to 99 for a cheers.. cheers.. cheers..

Take it from me anyone with a 2.2 reg'd from 2000 / 2002 get your chain sorted a.s.a you can .

I was lucky according to Benny mine was on the brink ............

Mines a 2001 & I was told by Vx mine was not affected & also vx garage told me they could hear nowt wrong with the motor when it was runing & it also had the crappy style oil jet .

So you have been warned guys & gals ....

Had Jools's done today by the marvellous Benny 🙂
Well worth the 240 mile round trip - job was nearly done by the time we'd walked to Tescos and back for brekky.
Absolutely top man, and great work - and £330 less than my nboss paid to get his Zafire done.
Can't recommend him enough - fabtastic bloke :thumbup:

If you need a Cam Chain change ask Benny, got in touch with this bloke just over a week ago, and today i went down there at 9:30 and by 12:30 i was on my way, Great bloke, done a clean job even got the Tech 2 machine on my ECU to let it know the chain had been replaced, and answered all questions i asked.

Can runs better, no rattle on start up, what more can you ask for?.

Thanks Benny!

Gav.
