From a 53-reg Vectra C GSi.  60k miles, FSH on the engine (had a look through a fully stamped up VX service book for the car it came from)!

All thats wrong... Oil cooler has popped ;D So had the engine replaced as the garage said it was the HG (surprise surprise)

So now I have the engine... the box... the diff...

All I need are some little bits now, sort it, and I'm done  :y

You do realise that the 2.6/3.2 exhaust manifolds are different to the 2.5/3.0 ones.....
