Any advice quickly before i start removing the inlet manifold? Will i need new gaskets?
-
Should take about an hour.
Easier if you take the inlet manifold off and be carfull not to drop the nuts from 5 & 6 as there a pig to retreive from the the side starter.
Also buy a set of inlet gaskets before you strip it down in fact ive got a set of 6 here :y

Cool, thanks for the tip! No Haynes manual you see so thought i'd better ask!
A spare kit huh, no good there is it! ha ha.. Do you have the part No and i'll pop upto Vx's and pick a set up :y
-
Vauxhall will have to order a set, try your local Land Rover Dealers, the same engine was used in the Range Rover ;)
-
Best to fit only Beru or NGK plugs. :y
Manifold gaskets are also available from BMW and Land Rover dealers too. ;)

PM sent :y

Just phoned my local Vx dealer and its £17 trade, which isn't to bad i spose - I'm lazy :D and Vx is neaer to me than the other dealers so i've ordered it there lol

Pleasure to help :y

Under an hour, with a tea break. That said, I've had that inlet off a million times ;D

On a 94 model I had, I couldn't get the manifold off. I'd say it took 4 hours. It's also easier if all the oil filter bolts were never replaced!!! But 1 hour is fast!!

Pretty easy job TBH. i removed the EGR while i was at it and blanked that off. Just waiting for the car to cool down to see if they work from cold - which of course i hope they do lol ;D
