 :D I think i'll be keeping the numbers. I worked for a Vauxhall dealer's for 15 yrs and can remember when the V6 first came out, First in the Cavalier, then the Vectra/ Omega and can remember see cars with slack timing belts and the damage done then. So yes I'm a very very lucky Bunny....LOL... ;D
