Hi me again
I have found out that one of the oxygen sensors is faulty on the exhaust, vauxhall have pointed out which one it is, its near side, the one closest to the engine, well has anyone got any tips as i jacked the car up for room, but just isnt enough space, i can undo the sensor with the spanner , but cant quite see where the lead goes to, to plug it in, it seems to run over the top where i cant get to,you have to be a magician to work on these, sensor bloody £80, god the car is lovely looking and extreemely fast but boy do you have to have a big wallet.

Im having the cam belt changed on monday as i havent any writen proof of replacement   £210   better safe than sorry. its done 79.000 miles

That's a good deal IF they are changing rollers/tensioner as well (which is a MUST) and do it properly with the timing kit.

Yes I will be asking whether thay have the right tools, as I read about the problems with the timing belt, yes they are changing the rolllers, I chose a company called AUTOTEK the cam belt service centre, for the reason they soley do cambelts, full warranty given, I hope I have chosen wisely, the problem is you cant see what they have put into your engine unless you stand over watching, but he did sound quite genuine, he said it would take him about 6 hours to complete, well at least I will get a warranty, if its worth anything          Thanks
