Thanks Matty. I've been trying to keep it well tidy. -
AnnoyingPentium's *an Vectra*: Back oan eh road

Okay so, this had been due a service for quite some time. So, once the weather was a bit less shit, I had another go with this. Trust me, it was needed. Furthermore, it's a lot easier to replace the oil filter by removing the O/S/F wheel instead of fucking about with under trays and suchlike. Oil removed, filters changed. Oil refilled. Ah you bastard. Then I realised it was just down to me spilling a bit on the rocker cover. All is good. It's not leaking now. Sorted. In other news, mileage milestone (almost) achieved through the week. And now it's on a wee bit more. It's had a good effect, the service and the brake caliper replacement now. That's with the air conditioning on as well. That's not bad at all for a big motor. Finally, I've had a wee go of editing photos, because I can. I'm putting a lot of mileage on it at the moment. So it's going to get some rest for a bit, as I've got *an suspension noise*, and I'll go back to running the Fabia. -

Could be a brilliant campervan. Maximum effect if you keep a coffin in the back too. -
Tentative yes. If I'm allowed back/can clear it with work... Or if @PicantoJon is brave enough to get in a car with me again.

Jon's Bodge Log - New rubber and environmental disaster.

This is just as brilliant to read as much as I enjoyed the live update on Facebook Messenger. -
I'm guessing the 9-5 is too far removed from the Vectra it's meant to be based on, to have shared the struts between the two?

Had meant to post this the other day, but the O2 sensors definitely play funny buggers with cars. Had one with frayed wiring that caused an EML periodically, or would cause the car to stall/switch off when it dropped down to near idle. Replaced it, and the issue cleared. It logged no fault codes, weirdly. YMMV and aw that.

I'm on the opposite side of Scotland (an doon a bit) but have one of those Launch tablet things that could shout at this if you can work it better than me. Works with my Vectra at least. You're welcome to having a go of it if you can get down here/nearer Glasgow.

Aye repair kits are available for these, but I was really wanting it back on the road as soon as. I've got the old caliper sitting somewhere, so I'll have a go at rebuilding it at some point. -

As I once said to @PicantoJon "that's not very Autoshite of you"... -

Aye, they're also noted as "enquire at parts desk" in Halfords. -

The V6 Arctic uses, on the surface, the same wheels as the 1.8 version, but under those centre covers is 5 studs instead of 4. 🤔 -

That's indeed correct, I was consulting the brochure earlier for that very reason.
