did this sell?

Thats what Vaux told me! I didnt expect it to be in stock but he knew exactly what I wanted. Job done now, nice new joints and shiny abs rings! Thanks for the replies

Sorted! Freindly local Vaux dealer had one on the shelf. £1.58!

That sounds good, dont suppose you still have the part number do you?

Ive replaced both CV joints on my vectra b today, all went well until the last one..... Ive managed to thread the bolt that clamps the ball joint together and now it wont torque up :-( Will a similar sized high tensile bolt do the job? Or do I need the proper vaux one? If anyone has a part...

Cant be much different i wouldnt have thought. Im doing my cv joints on friday so ill jack the back end up while im at it. Thanks for the replies

Dunno about the shocks, they passed the MOT in January but ive never touched em. Never had anything done wheel bearing wise either. Guess ill start with the bushs and work from there. Cheers!

Hi all, been a while since I posted but I'm back with a problem! I've had my Vectra B for 5 years now and had the rose bushes done shortly after buying it along with lowering springs. It's all been pretty much untouched ever since. The car is knocking away merrily and the back end feels quite...

Hi, I'm looking for a good useable front pipe cat with a half decent flexi that isnt about to start blowing! Also, looking for a good useable irmscher rear back box with 'letterbox' tail pipe. Both to fit SRI hatch. Can collect if not too far or could arrange a courier to collect. Cheers!

Presumably the noise went then, when you sorted the battery? Well, I've just unplugged all the injectors and reconnected them one at a time and checked for the noise after each one. The noise disappeared when all the injectors were unplugged and was present again with each of them reconnected...

Just a note to add on this, the buzzing stops when I crank the engine, but then when I stop cranking the buzzing comes back even louder until I switch the ignition off. Any ideas? Thanks

Hi all, I've just finished putting the engine back together after a new head and with the ignition on everything seems ok, furl pump primes, fuel in the rail etc, but I have a funny buzzing noise that comes from the injectors or the fuel rail. Sometimes it's louder than others. My battery is...

Hello everyone, I've just finished rebuilding my 2.2 with the new head, oil pump etc and when I've come to put the fuel rail on, and I'm missing on of the stud bolts. Does anyone have one spare that I could buy? Here's a couple of pics to show you what I mean!

Oh yes, I know! I just meant to put some oil on it so it wasn't dry when I come to start it after everythings back together! Cheers

Oh good! I thought it'd be ok, just wanted to check. Progress is a bit slow at the moment as I've broken a bone in my hand so I'm glad I dont have to mess about with the chain anymore! I've got the tensioner in, so I guess it's just a case of glugging on some oil to help lube things up when I...
