Re: MORE QUESTIONS - Engine SWAP

The b204 you want will have a red/black engine cover. Not the all black one. That looks like the later low blow engine.

Re: Possible fuel pump relay?

Just sorted this! It was flooded took plug one out and it started and pissed aload of petrol out and ran on three cyls, put the 4th plug back in and she ran like a dream. But i think it was the pump as the relay out of the sri is now in my GLS and she runs fine.

Re: Possible fuel pump relay?

Just changed the fuel pump and relay and it turns over but does not start?



am i thinking it might be flooded from where the pump was constantly running before?

Just want it running so i can use it as the gls is starting to play up.

Re: Omega Inlet Manifold on an Cavalier X20XEV

This is a common mod for the vectra boys. Watch out as theres two manifolds and they look the same but where the throttle body goes is different. Its only mm but makes a big difference.

Re: parking wars....

Used to be the same when i lived at home with the rents. As it was a 60 cul-de-sac so room for 1 car each. Nowadays each house had adverage 2/3 cars. Was a night mare at times and the harrisons just used to park however they felt like it.

Am lucky now as we got a drive.
