    Threaded the ball joint clamp bolt...

    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...

    Knocking rear suspension & BAD tyre wear!...

    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!

    Buzzing from injectors / fuel rail with ignition on?

    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...

    Buzzing from injectors / fuel rail with ignition on?

    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

    Buzzing from injectors / fuel rail with ignition on?

    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...

    Does anyone hae one of these spare?!

    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!

    Chaim timing pics - does this look ok?

    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

    Chaim timing pics - does this look ok?

    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...

    Chaim timing pics - does this look ok?

    I've fitted new chains recently and I think I've got it timed up ok, just want to double check with a couple of second opinions. How does this look? Cheers

    2.2 Virgin

    Mine was the rear lambda sensor when the light came on. Not the cheapest thing to replace for such a small part, I found one on eBay (secondhand) for £15 and have had no problems since. Worth a look!

    Just replaced cam chain but it seems slack???

    No, I just bolted the tensioner in like it said in the TV chain swap guide - I suspected in should be tight and not showing slack. I'll push the guide back against it and see what happens! Thanks Damo

    Just replaced cam chain but it seems slack???

    Hello everyone - I've just replaced the cam chain on my Z22SE although I haven't yet put the oil pump on. I've turned the engine a few times on the crank pulley but there seems to be a bit of slack in the chain. My initial thoughts are that it's just the tensioner not being charged with oil yet...
