well i stripped most of it down today and it seems the water pump broke up so its definately gonna be a head replacement im thinking of doing this one and keeping it now as the one i bought her to replace this one does not have abs and they are both 99 although one is on a V and the busted one is on a T | |

I have been informed that the ports on the XEL (Astra Vectra engine) are different to the XE (Corsa Tigra), this was from a breakers yard who had nothing to gain with the info as he didn't have either engine at the time! | |

Sorry, off topic, but you have almost the best user name ever and it's a pleasure to see a CS member that is of a similar vintage to me Jimbo. :D | |
