Welcome, although I think we have already 'chatted' in another section about your climate :)

Great car :y

As you do doubt will have realised, if you have no proof of cambelt AND tensioners being done, that needs doing immediately. Easy enough job, but does require a cam timing kit.  Also, don't believe Vauxhall's service schedule - change that oil every 5k at least.  I see you are in Swindon - another member there can get genuine Vauxhall stuff at 'trade club' (better than trade prices), so may be able to help. That means you can change the oil yourself for around £15 (yours has more expensive filter than older ones)
