As the heading says, breaking a 92 J reg Senator 3.0 CD model.
Its not mine, it belongs to a mate of mine. They have owned the car for 11 years. It has been off the road since August 2010. The car has a serious case of tinworm, hence the decision to break it. Its had the top end rebuilt a couple of years ago, when the head gasket went. The car has a stainless non cat exhaust.
The car is located near Pontypridd, south Wales.
Any questions?

I would usually say go manual but that particular car was built to original blueprint spec which called for the autobox - the box that's in there is far from standard!

The car originally came with two catalytic converters. When the exhaust went, a few years back, they had the cats removed and had a custom stainless exhaust made. Was cheaper than buying a mild steel standard system.
I will ask if he has lambda sensors.

Senator 3.0 auto aircon. If your Diamond is a 3.0 auto aircon, then I would say yes. However, I am not as knowledgable as others about what fits what. I will get a price off me mate for you.

Thanks for the enlightenment, Chris. I would have thought that the 3.0 were the same, providing they both were auto and had air con.

Yes that would make sense to everyone but Opel apparently! |

It would also make sense to manufacturing costs, as making one would be cheaper than making two? Vauxhall and Opel must have had their reasons.
