Late 2000 (2001 spec) Vauxhall Astra 2.2 SRI
Just passed its MOT.
Tax'd to the new year.
Required just a drivers side front rear bush, but i replaced the whole wishbone for handiness.
Timing Chain and Balance Chain replaced at 92k (including the new updated chain tensioner).
Serviced at the same time, including the spark plugs.
New front lambda and thermostat replaced with a cool running stat in February.
Midnight Black metallic (puts Sapphire black to shame imo)
Full Irmscher Kit including the front grill and back box
Colour coded door handles and bump strips (picture taken just before they were painted)
Lowered 60/40mm on Spax springs
17" Vectra C SRI Alloys resprayed Rover Gunmetal
Tyres 215/40/17's as new
Derestriced airbox
K&N filter
EGR valve removed
Pre and main de-cat (passed MOT last week, no questions asked)
Middle box of exhaust removed
Detachable Bosal towbar (only used for my bike rack)
Returns a respectable 34-37mpg regularly, usually around 350 miles to 1 tank of petrol.
Kept this car much longer than i thought i would, sorry to see it go.
Put a price of £1695 on it but im open to cash offers although would possibly px a diesel
Also, I live and work next to both airports in NI as well as the docks so links to the mainland are very easy. i can meet potential buyers at any.
