Gutted.

After cambelt going yesterday, I did as everyone hopes, and fitted a new cam belt. Went to start it, I got fuel, I got spark, I think I got compression, and best of all, I got fuel in the oil. That's not a good sign. Now for the hard part. Do I strip the engine to find out whats wrong, sell it as spares or repairs on fleace bay, if so how much? or do I break it myself?

I need the money for another.

Seems like it turned out to be another daisy. Ask Henry about that one!

lol craig u not have a lot of luck with that one what engine is it is it the 2.3 dirty if so let me know if u break it as i might want some bits or give me a price for the whole thing

It's the 2.2 Petrol. The body is fine, after around £650 for it. Listed on e-bay. Cheers. Craig.

Thats what I have thought, I am going to take the head off next thursday if it doesn't sell on ebay and have a look, then break her

the vectra 2.2 was chain driven, the omega had the belt 2.2

[BigBlueBeast]

Can I still use the Vactra chain driven one? I would love to get mine back on the road!

no will be more trouble than the one you got, tensioners fail and chains break.

is yours 16v if it is you can use the omega one
