My XE had around 130k on the clock and whilst it doesn't need much replacing, it's having it all done anyway.

Bill will be close to £1000 in total which includes parts, labour and the C20XE, gearbox, loom, etc.

thats cheap even though the high mileage. (providing it doesn't rattle or smoke as the person claims)


reserve isnt met yet though

That Astra is certainly cheap at the moment, they're worth a few hundred quid more than that in bits.

I was told that too -- if it doesn't smoke, don't bother rebuilding, unless you want performance mods...

XE's are good for at least 150k before needing a rebuild, just got to keep em serviced nice. Wouldnt buy one off eBay tho

Std rebuild would set you back about £1000 + sundries (at somewhere like V-Tuning)... more if you went somewhere like SBD...
