Rovertech 2.0

I finally took the plunge and sold the coupe turbo. managed to get a straight swap for a y plate (2001) vectra sri 2.6 v6. Runs lovely and im not disappointed though im gonna miss the tish!

I will still be popping in and out of the site as my missus still has the mgzr though this will eventually be sold too.

Ive signed up to a few vauxhall sites and im hoping to find one as good and helpful as this one!

Cheers peeps

ta ta

you'll be back

sell the vectra before it breaks.

Those engines are a complete nightmare to work on.

Fun to drive though

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 coming back

I still got the zr so will still be on here just not so often.

Looking around the vectra seemed the better option. Another engine (v6) for it is around £150 so not too bad. I have m8s and relatives who work on cars and im hoping i wont need to do alot as its had brand new head,headgasket,water pump and radiator done recently (with receipts!).
PLUS is a 2001 car not a 1996 so im sure ive had the better option.

sounds like all the big ones have ben done then so not much to worry about. The waterpump is a b*tch of a job.

It definitely sounds like a good deal, wasnt denying that. Its a more saleable car than the coupe too. There must be a little bit of you that still wants a Ti though, you could sell the vectra and get a minty fresh one with the change.

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

yeah im sure i did. Got a few niggly probs like eng managment light is on (suspect something to do with decat) and i had the computer display come up with check coolant level for about 10 secs even though its ok (im guessing a sensor problem) but over all just drove it about 40 miles and all ok so far!

And even though its cost me £200 to swap the insurance round (even though its lower group my coupe was on a cherished car policy ie, old car policy) i wouldnt turn down a nice Ti
