I fitted one on my old chavalier, and when i got the veccy, had a look at it, just didnt think it would look right, so i just bought some of those new flat wiper blades instead lol, they look better than standard

I did this, but after i fitted it, each time i pressed the button the speedo drops to 0mph while the button is pressed :( Spent ages looking, took pics but just couldnt tell why it was doing that, cause it was in pin 30 :( any thoughts?

yeah the windows dont take long to do at all, and i agree with JohnnyN - proper rivets, and mind ya knuckles on the plugs... Well worth it, Also done the blue led conversion... and I cheated, get yourself down the scrappy and pick up as many preface switches as you need fitting... including the...

This would be excellent if it could be done, here is hoping lol :) gotta love liams humour on vvoc lol,

Thanks guys :) I ordered a raid strut brace, so just waiting for that to come now, met up with Daz today and saw a very sexy astra 2.2 engine cover, so i'm gonna have to get myself one of those lol, and i also want one of the plastic covers over the radiator etc, so, need to to have a look...

Yeah, thats why i took it to kwik fit lol, surely if it was flexi then the guys in kwik fit would have spotted that.. but then maybe not lol

Ok, I took the car to Kwik Fit, and told them of the noise, so they looked and said the centre section has a hole, and it needed replacing, so fine, they fitted the part and its cool, however, the noise is now louder, and getting louder each day... so, its not an exhaust fault noise.. any...

Thanks :) I know what you mean, ive been looking since feb, when i bought the car, and then i saw one the other week, and i was just like, money is in the bank, sod it, so i got the bumper for £200 and the paint locally sprayed for £100, but then the guys said he will spray my rear bumper and...

ah ok, so not the timing chain, but i think it still needs doing, my engine is on 93K now, and VX say 100K change it, but you dont have too... but i will, its either the exhaust or maybe even a gearbox fault

I'm actually wondering if its an exhaust blow, this is the second one ive had since feb, and the last was repaired under warranty, Kwik Fit said they thing there may be a loose engine bracket becuase the last time, the exhaust snapped off at the manfauld.... I'm gonna get it in to Kwik Fit...

Hey guys, Already emailed Benny to ask about cam chain. 93K 2001 veccy original cam chain, and vx say never been to them from new - however since i owned it, its been to VX a few times but I've not had the oil thingy done to it... so, start my car, all ok, pull away, and a tappetty...

I emailed them about a 2.5 sri strut and they said they dont make any struts that fit a 2.2 because of the engine bay layout... then they added this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Raid-Vectra-B-Fro ... dZViewItem so i emailed again, and got the same response...

urm, just the respray.. I've already fitted a K&N cone and flat blade wipers, I've ordered a EGR blanking plate, I dont really know what else to do lol, I wanted to fit a strut brace but I couldnt find one to fit a 2.2, i emailed a raid company who said they dont make one anymore for a 2.2 :(...

Cheers :) I need to give it a clean cause i had to drive the car home before I took pics, but the bonnet is so bad, I just cant get the bugs and crap off, its been in to 3 or 4 of these drive in car washes and even they cant get it clean lol... I guess once they sand off the bonnet and...

Hey guys, My car is a CAT C 2001 2.2 SRI 150 vectra, and had the front smashed in, before i bought it, so when I bought it, it came with preface bumper and fogs, facelift lights... Finally Ive had enough, so i bought angel eyes, and a genuine GSI bumper. Just a few pics for you all :)...
