The car is looking very smart! I don't drive my 2.2 Tigra much, It scares me now :eek::ROFLMAO:

Two common areas for idle faults are the throttle body needing removing and cleaning. Or a vacuum leak on the inlet side of the engine somewhere. Using brake cleaner sprayed around joints and pipes, if the idle goes up there is a leak there. Does the car drive ok once off idle?

Hard to say where the leak is from those photo's. It doesn't look like it has the normal pink coolant stains visible. The pipe has an O ring at each end, you need to remove the housing for the thermostat/coolant temp sensor to get the pipe out so get a new seal for this as well.. There is also a...

Stage 1 cams are very mild with only a minimal gain over a standard cam and will work ok with the standard valve gear. I ran the DBilas cams for quite a few years and around 70k miles with no other internal engine work. They are a nit more aggressive than the Comp cam stage 1. Swapped to the...

If it is an F23 5 speed gear box it should fit. The final drive ratio may be different though so you would have better acceleration but worse cruise speed.

Sounds good. Add some photo's of the work done.

A failed or failing coil pack is often the cause for this fault. Only replace with OEM parts as pattern parts are just not up to the job and do not last very long at all.

Your best off speaking to evocarlos he is a bit further away but does offer a very good service using top quality parts. He does these chains in his sleep now and I believe offers a "while you wait" service, You will not find anyone better than he is at them now.

I use NGK PTR5A-10 plugs in my Z22SE.

Just regular oil changes at every 5,000 miles or yearly which ever comes first. Only use 10w40 semi synthetic oils as well. Only done 20,000 ish miles in the last 11 years while it's been in Corsa's :LOL:

I've had 2 mk3 cavs and this in satin red. Engine still lives on, just playing about with it before it goes back in to the Corsa C, clean for 170k+ miles and 22 years old.

My Vectra B died over 11 years ago, 150+k miles on it but she was rotten underneath the cover sills where they all go. Don't see many Vectra B's on the road now. Still a lot of older Vauxhalls about though like Cavilers Corsa B's and Nova's.

That's how mine are connected and been like that for a good number of years now. Must be 8+ I guess?

Sounds quite a cheap price. I have an unused Jenvey ITB set for a z22se with DTA S60 Pro ecu set and it all cost a lot more than that! Bargain for some one!
