had to replace the key fob that came with car, does the new one need Tec2 programming? key is orginal with transponder and still works

Just the casing, no. New internals in the fob, yes.

Bob, being a 2.0 you will need everything for cruise not just a stalk. Need to find a 2.0 CDX as a donor

Yes the internals were a black soggy mess so new internals

I thought that as it is a facelift it would not need anything else, it does not have a throttle cable as illustrated in the how to section so assumed that all was well, obviously not  :( what else is needed)
Guess key will be a Newent job then I hope

Cruise motor with bowden cable, bracket on throttle body for the cable and ideally the mounting bracket for the cruise motor. You will only get this from a 2.0 CDX spec

You sure no throttle cable?

The gallery pics, at a glance, look like 2.2  :-/

Well two of us searched in vain today and can find nothing, assuming that we are looking in correct location, left of engine as you view from front, other person looking is ex AA and does know his stuff but we are prepared to be wrong :D

That confused me too. If his car has no throttle cable, where would the bowden cable of a cruise control kit fit?  :-?

agreed - no flame trap as per 2.0  :-/

ok...

why do you think its a 2.0?

pm me your reg please, Ill check what it should be  :y

2.0ltr. Look at OP`s engine pic in gallery

Well just checked, and this left VX with a 2 Litre.

X20XEV serial number 31105679


who knows whats happened since then  though

pic of my engine in the gallery, i think that best way forward is to wait till newent and then let those in the know look, but i am blowed if i can see a throttle cable.  :o

It emerges from the bulkhead, you won`t see it at the throttle body unless you remove the air intake pipe (big black fat one on top of TB)

ok Rob wil try that tommorow.

It is difficult to tell them (2.0 and 2.2) apart, and the resolution isn't high enough to zoom in enough

Did not realise that, pics were 12mill pixels, if it has had an engine swop then suppose I could have problems as it seesms no one told DVLA, just what I need. Ho hum what fun, and I thought owning a cossie scorpio was fun. ;D

Doesn't the 2.0 use a DIS pack & HT leads while a 2.2 use a coil pack directly onto the plugs? :-/ :-/ :-/

Can be repaired.

Remove switches

Clean with meths

Fit new switches

Martin appreciate that but the board was so badly dmaged by whatever had melted, new internals were by far easier.
It had made parts very fragile so gave up :)

Ok carrying on from last night I confirm it is the engine that should be there, it has HT leads at the rear and although time is short I think I have found the linkage, as said it is well hidden.

Now we have confirmed that and I know what parts to obtain is the job still very much as per the insructios as posted except modify for 2L?

Sorry to have caued so many posts but I was totally convinced it was fully servo served, but always prepared to be proved wrong if it helps, thanks for you patience and do hope to see some of you at Newent, now if anyone going happend to have above spares ;D

If it helps...I think A vectra cruise setup also fits
