Brakes are sorted. Took all the carrier off and wire brushed it AGAIN and filed it down before covering the contact points with copper grease. Take it for a spin including fast roads and it's all sorted now. :)

To utilise the new tyres on the other wheels. So far actually the ride is every bit as comfortable.
For some reason the passenger side pads are rubbing so I've gotta dismantle it again and see if anything is sticking.

Before:



After:

Yeah it's not too bad. Got some mismatched paint, a few flaking patches and a few scuffs etc but to be fair it's a 16 year old car. The previous seems to have looked after the mechanics and not worried too much about the bodywork which is fine as I am happy to tidy up the exterior.

It will be done straight after the brakes. Dad wants the new tyres on first

My understanding is that the main criticism of the 2.2 is its allegedly a little underpowered for the size and weight of the car. Having said that, my dad has a 2.0 omega automatic and it seems powerful enough. Ok so it doesn't give you the grin factor but for a large motorway muncher it's perfectly adequate

Yeah the tracking is going to get look at after I've changed the brakes etc. Dad did mention that one of the tyres is wearing on the outside edge and the other on the inside edge.

Not actually mine but it's my dads. It was bought after his vectra C died. The car was a reasonable price, 1 previous owner and only 70k ish miles on the clock. The bodywork is a bit tired and in need of tlc but mechanically it's in good working order which is a definite bonus.

Since owning it we've done a few things to it and got a list of other things to do.

So far we've done:
Headlights polished with upgraded bulbs
Air con valve replaced as it was leaking
Regarded with can bought from halfords (needs proper regas)
Removed the sticky residue left from GB sticker

Still to do:

Give it a thorough valet and detail
Fix the hole in the exhaust
Change the front discs and pads
Bleed the brakes all round
Full service
Replace leaking washer bottle
Replace coolant header tank (coolant level message fault)
Replace o/s mirror cover (wrong colour)
Replace/repair back bumper
Get cambelt replaced soonish
Will be putting wheels and tyres from his vectra on temporarily as they were new tyres before the car died

Well I think that's all for now but no doubt I will end up adding to the list.

What about lack of rear fog lights. I know they won't be needed but aren't they still supposed to be present? Haha

Who sells them for 99p?

Who can tell me what I need to know about my new purchase?



It's a 2000 GLS 2.5 V6 manual (are manuals rare, I thought they were but now not so sure?) in a nice green? I believe it's a mini facelift?


Here is my Mini Face Lift  :y  Similar Green  :y  and a 2.5 V6 CDX, Manual as well  :y :y  2000 V plate, so similar vintage  ;D



Here is the interior so you can compare MFL to your FL  :y  They are more "Rounder and Curvy" inside than the FL's (my dad has a FL Desmond - Auto ;D



Tbh I think I prefer the mini facelift. The full facelift is nice but the mini is somehow more suave and smooth.

Hang on I know why. I've only got service club account as I can't get a trade club account.

13
Fair enough. Will have to go with cheap ones for now and see what they're like. He doesn't do a lot of spirited driving so they should be fine.

14
Yeah I saw those. What are the eicher ones like or are they crap?

15
Ahhh I see. Either way we can't quite afford £90. What's the best place to get oem quality pads and discs from?
