Wanted! A few things I can't get in the US...
18. Aug 2010 at 17:00

Or they are far too expensive here!

I need
- The hose that attaches to the breather box on the back of the head, and splits off into 2 hoses that attaches to the breather box on the upper intake.

- the 2 small seals on the nipples of the breather box. These are the ones that slide into the throttle body.

- The o-ring looking thing that goes on the bottom of the breather box on the upper intake. It looks like an o-ring, if you know what I mean. Mine's all smooshed.

- The small black plastic retainers that hold the black plastic wiper cowls down. The dealer here wants $1.50 a piece for them, and I am certain I can get them cheaper overseas!

- 4 new camshaft sprocket bolts. These are TTY bolts and I can't reuse them.

- And finally, the 2 large o-ring seals that go on the thermostat extension tube (the one that goes behind the timing area to the thermo housing). The dealer here claims he doesn't carry them.

If anyone here can get me this stuff, please contact me as soon as you can.... I am almost done getting this back together.

If you look at the "how to" on cleaning the V6 breathers Click Here

and also the one for changing the cam cover gaskets Click Here

You should find the part numbers for the bits you are after, then you need to contact AndyC on here (see his post at the very end of this topic Click Here and you can PM him from that)

He is a Vauxhall parts man (and top bloke) and does mail order, just make sure you tell him you're in the US.

And slightly off topic...

What's different about Catera ones?

Aug 2010 at 23:22 Ooh.... well I hate to say this, but those cupholders are flimsy junk. I fact, I was searching for a good one for my Catera, and all of them in the junk yards were broken. Oh, and thanks for the heads up on the o-rings for the breather, I'll PM him and see if he has them.

Reply #12 - 26. Aug 2010 at 22:53 If the items arent too big I can get the wife to take them across and send in the US postal system. Might save you a few bob, would save you more if you can pick them up from Chicago

Alrighty... I'll wait for him to reply. I'm really not in a hurry anyways, I still don't have my timing belt kit or a water pump. I've yet to order them

But I will update the list...

- The small black plastic retainers that hold the black plastic wiper cowls down. The dealer here wants $1.50 a piece for them, and I am certain I can get them cheaper overseas!

- 4 new camshaft sprocket bolts. These are TTY bolts and I can't reuse them.
