Had a message about an insignia like my other one that was up forsale
After getting it home the wash down




Heated and cooled leathers SRI leathers

Oil filter was passed it

Headder tank was split so the free replacement was fitted

Auto box oil change

Exhaust manifold was blowing so the turbo came off to solve that

Was just 4 nut loose on the manifold


New air filter

Flexy on the exhaust had come apart

After welding and using cv boot clips to secure the braiding

On the 2hour drive home there was an awful nocking noise that I thought was the drive shaft
It was infact just the wheel bearing that I had a good spare from the other car

Couple of bulbs

The new disc pads and calipers from the other car swapped over


Mirror switch had dropped through the door card


New belt and wheel arch trims the others were damaged/missing from when the power steering pipe blew

New spare key


Boot carpet cleaned

Kept getting "battery low" warning at key on

Then found a wire of the battery

Fixing the cable solved the problem

Crank seal and washing all the gunk off from the powersteering leak off

Better now

Arch liner to cover it up

New boot switch as it had failed


Engine had codes but there was no eml lamp

The old bluetack in the hole....





Codes were for cam phasers


After pulling them out you can see they were a bit blocked up replacments were fitted and one of the 2 codes cleared


The other code related to the timing being out



Water pump had been done

New gm chain fitted

Gauze on the vac pump cleaned out also


All codes then cleared
