Checked my oil yesterday and it was literally just on minimum, barely registering on the actual gauge marks! Think it was about 0.5mm showing on the min-max gauge (at the base of bar one). It was on about 3 bars about 1500 miles ago. Could there be any damage from the oil getting this low...

Having just found out that my car cannot be mapped (a person may have figured out how to), I have become despondent! My car is currently running a 2.25" exhaust complete with Lexmaul 4-1 200 cell sports manicat. Is there any point in doing anything else? Can't see cams being any good now as...

Need help with my ECU. I have recently found out my Vectra C has a Motorola ECU. Apparently these ECU's can't be mapped. I have heard that many tuners list the Vectra C Z22SE as having a Delco? ECU. Does anyone know if this is true? Thanks for any help.

Hi Everyone, Had running issues with my car, lumpy idle and feels slightly sluggish. Just purchased an EGR cheater. Is there anyone near Oxford (prepared to travel), who can fit this? Bearing in mind I have absolutely no skills with spanners and would manage to cock this up! Stu.

Hi guys, I have had my CTS and lambda sensor replaced recently due to poor warm starting issues. When the car is cold it fires up first time no issues. If I have driven it (say to refuel), left it 5 minutes and try to start it again it really struggles and fires up weakly. Today I have now...

Hi guys, me again! Now I've got the exhaust sorted (and soon to be manicat), I'm after an uprated inlet manifold. Been looking at the Dbilas Inlet, it is however bloody expensive!! Researched the 2.4 option, this doesn't appeal to me. What other options do I have? Car is a Vectra C. Thanks...

Need help guys. I purchased a 4-1 Lexmaul 200 cell sports manicat recently. Only issue is I have a Vectra C and I'm sure this manicat is for the Astra G / Zafira B Z22SE. Will the ports, stud patterns etc all line up okay? What exhaust gasket will I need? I'm at a custom exhaust place and...

Hi Everyone, Is there a way for me to tell which ECU my 2002 Vectra has? Thanks for any help.

Hello All, I have my car booked in to have my Lexmaul 4-1 200 Cell Sports Manicat fitted complete with a full custom system. I have measured the diameter of the pipe coming out from the manicat and it is 2" (50mm). Should I have a 2" downpipe and 2" system fitted to the car? I'm looking for a...

Hi All, I've always been intrigued by my cars performance as despite many people saying the Z22SE powered Vectra C is under-powered; I have never felt this! So...... I took it to a RR session to see what kind of condition my engine is is. The engine is completely standard. Results WHP...

Hi everyone, I'm looking into a new performance exhaust manifold for my car. I've looked everywhere and the only one I can find is the Lexmaul version with the manicat. Is this my only option? Cheers for any info. Stu.

Hi everyone, I have another odd sound coming from my engine. Sounds like its either on the right side of the engine (as your sat in the drivers seat) or coming from the underside of the engine, I have just had a new Sportex back box and a set of Eibach lowering springs fitted (yesterday)...

Hello, I've always thought I take good care of my cars with regards to the body work. However, I have been on a couple of detailing sites and now I want to get a bit more into the detailing scene. I have always used the whole meguiars range. Is anyone into the detailing scene, what would you...

Hello everyone! Ordered service items from VX dealer yesterday apart from the oil, on the last service I used Vauxhall's own 5W/30 fully synthetic oil. Is there any better oil out there to use? Thanks for any info :thumbup:

Morning everyone. On my way to work this morning I was in some slow moving traffic. I touched my brakes to come to a stand still and there was what I can only describe as a loud smash from the drivers side front area. It sounded like it had come from around the brake pedal area. The noise was...

Hi everyone, What is the maximum mileage we will get from our 2.2 engines? I have had a couple of diesels over the past couple of years and know they can easily do 200,000+. Thanks for any replies, Stu.

Hello! Have just had a look on the net for some performance exhausts. Typed in Vec C 2.2 Exhausts into google and one of the first links I clicked on came up with Sportex systems. Only thing is they look too cheap to be true. I think they were quoting around £180 for a full cat back system...
