at least you know its done properly - junk previous owner wasnt honest - fail I think they where honest its just that the workmanship of the guy that did the overhaul did a bad job. The people that I bought it from are nice people coz they even offer my brother to sleep over coz it was late and the came to his aid again when he was lost in joburg and the immobiliser didnt want to work. I was surprise at that coz usualy when people sell u something they dont care anymore after they got their money. Whats nice is that Luc/Pantera is very helpfull when my brother needs to know something. Only thing that we cant find is a C18SEL sump gasket coz Luc recommended that we use that one but when I find one its going one. _________________ Hers:Opel Corsa Chill 1.3 His: Are you kidding me????

O ja also had the mayo problem. Not sure. Sent Luc a few msgs, but not sure if he busy or what, no reply yet. I don't think I am gonna throttle just yet as well. Gonna leave them off. Just wanna get car back and I am gonna need to use it as a daily for a bit, so will store thorttles and pistons so long. Will fit that when I can get me a daily driver.

Sorry to hear Sterling. Some cars can be Lemons and then others aren’t. For me what counts is how the previous owner or owners maintained the car. My kadett has been fine over the last 11 years I have owned it, and it’s still going fine thank goodness. Only thing that bothers me is the radiator fan only comes on after it passes the ¾ mark (in the middle between the ¾ and the red line). It usually went on, on the ¾ mark. That thing makes me nervous, But then again a 200ts compared to a 200is is very very different car, its a high performance machine. Anyway goodluck buddy I hope it gets sorted out.
