No thats no good for the V6 - you need one of these - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sealey-Petrol-Engine-Setting-Locking-Kit-Saab-Vauxhall-Opel-V6-Belt-Drive-/271470751675?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item3f34eaefbb :y


seen it, bid on it ,won it !!! many thanks  :y

any recomendations on cambelt kit and w/pump , best one ?
No probs - nice one mate.

I've always used Buypartsby for cambelt kits - they supply Contitech - never had any issues with these - also Gates and SKF kits recommended.

Water pumps a bit more difficult - Vx now silly expensive - I've always used Vx (when reasonable price), or more recently QH water pumps (but QH no longer exists).  Still got one QH one in stock for the 2.6 V6 when I need it - sorry can't offer more help on the water pump.

Recent pattern water pumps have not been that great, TBH. I think I'd leave the pump on a V6 if it's not leaking.

Just go North and let Daz sort it out. Failing that contact him and he will come to you. He replaced mine a few weeks ago, good bloke :y and attention to detail second to none :y

JamesV6CDX did an excellent job on my 2.6, but he is about 100 miles from you; he does travel!

what sort price i am looking at ? include w/pump?

Almost three years ago my local Vauxhall dealer charged £330 including  a new GM w/pump
After I'd paid he told me that he'd f**ked up his sums and undercharged me. :y

Expect to pay the thick end of £550 at a dealer. :'(
