Title: The new addition
Post by: Terbs on 23 October 2012, 16:54:20
Hi all....meet the latest........
Needs a bit of loving from me, but not bad really. Gonna get a new belt fitted just in case, and
my family mechanic is going to give it the going over and fix anything that needs fixing at the same time ;) Seems to drive nice :y
Just hoping that I won't regret getting the light leather and trim. It will probably only do about 3k per year so should not get too dirty.
Got 70k on the clock with fsh....interesting to note...40k service at Vauxhalls, was 'Belt checked' but not 'Belt replaced' :o

If he needs to borrow a GM V6 locking kit (not possible without), send him round

I assume they have the locking kit, Jamie......I've just had a belt in the 2.5, I assume again, that that needed a locking kit too.
They have a bloke that works there who is a V6 man :y
But I will make enquiries, and thanks for the offer :y

Looks very nice Tony :y - mind you i like the blue one too :y

Would be interesting to know if it feels livelier than your 2.5?
Title: Re: The new addition

I have to say, it felt very lively, quite suprising as its only a tad bigger than the 2.5 (blue one). I was pinging around MK and M40 yesterday, and I was pleasantly suprised :y When you asked the question, you got a straight answer :y

Checked the paintwork...and the scuffs all polished out...decided to give the upholstery a once over with EGR detergent I found in the garage, and its come up like showroom. Really chuffed to bits :y :y :y
Oh...I love this car ;D ;D ;D

Nice, I'm envious !  :y

I've just gone the other way, from 2002 2.6 to a 2000 2.5, and the 2.5 is certainly less lively.

I think that trying to keep all that cream clean would drive me nuts!
But I do like it!  :y

Long term it might pay to swap the cream plastic lower panels for black, as they seem to keep clean for longer. Carpets are also easy enough to change, but actually, if proper mats are fitted, then the carpets stay fairly tidy :y
