maybe i should just buy James LPG estate as a runaround?!!




LPG estate a good option. And James will only sell good car that have had the works. Can asure you it would be in good nick with all the jobbies done.


And LPG saves a fair wack!!

Just thought i'd add the latest developments.

Urgency of repair not so great now i am the proud owner of an exJv6cdx estate!

He also diagnosed no head gasket fault as the mayo was lots but not unusual, could be excessive thanks to magnatec additions to Vx juice. also no fuel smells in header tank and the dipstick is really clean.

hence verdict is the breathers/box wernt cleaned wonderfully in april so need doing again and another set of passenger side gaskets too.

the coolant leak is most likely seperate and a hose/junction problem that indeed psychnurse touched upon yesterday!

oh happy repairs after me holidays  :y

Vectra Elite Estate doing good post-Omega service but still not as nice to sit in.

One last Omega on the drive, one Corsa on the lawn...maybe they'll go to a good home before too long!
