well cav's currently on gaybay so lets see what happens, so far have 1 bid from a breaker, i do hope it doesent get broken up, but hay once that cash is in my hand its no longer down to me.

j220 gti

Whats wrong with the Cav to be selling up so soon? Rare as now those 8) havent got the time or cash that is needs and its depressing stairing at it everyday :lol: needs windowscreen, timing tensioner and rollers, waterpump etc, most of the bushes id expect after its stood so long, bodywork needs at...

may well be selling up my cav 4x4 turbo project and corsa run about and coming back to the rover fold, would quite like anouther 620ti and quite like the thought of a 620 sdi aswell as a run about.

Vauxhalls tbh.

and rover owners moan when people say rover = HG issues. of which it annoys me tbh.

Hasent it been known for 620's to set them self alight?

Anyways OP, Glad you noticed it went up mate, as you say could have easily been alot worse, glad your all ok.

i also have a htc desire, awsome phone, an quite good battery life too considering.

We just got a panasonic viera 37" plasma, love it so far, also heard there good , and certainly seams better then most of our friends tv's menu wise, ease of use etc. also makes my ps3 look stuff look stunning and i havent even hooked it up with a hdmi lead yet.

i see what you mean, but you really must be carefull not to tar all with the same brush, i know a few people on the doll, who definetly dont want to be, put them self up for a hell of alot of training courses , only to keep being told there aint enough places in jobs etc. infact i now know more peop...

j220 gti

worth experimenting with if you really want to do it, its not like the 1.6 k series cant be picked up cheep enough if/when it does go pop. But if its your daily drive not the best idea .

j220 gti

Never paid attention to what my ti used , but it was very good on petrol , infact one of the best ive had in regards to that, strange as it was short journeys stop start driving. Dont drive like a grandad either.

j220 gti

yeh not saying it isent a good deal, an atleast its had all the work done, i uset to think i was a vaux man that strayed to rovers , soon realised that im really a rover man thats strayed to vauxhall

good luck with the car

gotta love that v6 sound too

sell the vectra before it breaks. Those engines are a complete nightmare to work on. Fun to drive though :drive: exactly what he said, thats why i sold mine, great cars when there working but when the oil cooler or worse one of heads go get your cash out. youl come back to rover believe me, i keep ...

j220 gti

hmm. may well have this if i can find a cheep enough way to get it the 211miles to me.

j220 gti

Hi all.

Engines in fair condition, runs well, no signs of hg failiure.

whats it worth?

Welcome to my feedback thread

j220 gti

hmmm just toying with the idea, mite buy it to break. maybe i should just keep an eye out for a 220gti/gsi in need of work.

j220 gti

I'd say it was probably worth £100 as scrap value. Cynical perhaps, but if it's a good car why didn't he spend a couple of hundred getting it welded up and retested? i know the person personally have done for 4 years now. he doesent see the point in spending several hundred in welding when he has 3...

j220 gti

hmm mite buy it to break it then, he wants couple hundred for it , engines sweet as far as i currently know , known the car for a while, its not a major shed , thought it mite be anouther project for me, maybe not then. was more that its convenient to buy as its only up the road

j220 gti

can get a 98 200 vi for cheepish, its a mot failiure both sills need replaceing, front brake discs are buckled , petrol tank leaks at the seam. few scratches, rear arches need attention, but all in all not too bad. only has the cloth interior, sunroof and boot leaks. Thinking turbo conversion ? hmmm...

j220 gti

i nearly bought a TI in that color

If there are any deep indentations of the fire rings in to the face of the head then you'll almost certainly be in need of a skim. To check for certain you need an engineers rule and some feeler gauges. I got away without skimming the head on my car but mine was in the early stages of HGF and hadn'...

j220 gti

as far as i can tell , there no sign of overheating at all... and looks like its only now starting to go, should i get the head skimmed, OR can i just clean the head and block and fit a mls head gasket ? change water pump etc and check rad and thermostat change at same time
