Pretty local ish that but havnt seen it on any of the busy Vauxhall FB pages. Surprising really as it would have sold by now. Not much people put things like this on EBay instead of the FB pages.

I think providing it's a decent motor in the first place they do last longer the bottom ends are stronger which is fact there also on chain which is better than a belt in most cases, also can buy the engine for a fraction of let money and get over 300bhp out of them for a lot lot less so in the scheme of things bang for buck there better,

The reason they shit themselves is probably down to the people who fit them into the corsas and astras and the way they are driven compared to the way the previous Saab owner would have, was talking about this yesterday about the Vectra VXR timing chains compared to the Saab 9-3 that use the same engine hardly ever having chain failure but the Saab owners generally drive the car in s different manner to a vxr owner would lol.

No in comparison to what people are paying for standard Gsis on average a let will add £1000+ value providing the cars clean, so if it is clean (which I doubt) it would be cheap

I'd agree, a standard one should command a higher value

Joking aside they are getting very rare now, gone are the days if you wanted one you had tons to choose from.
