Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Need engine for 03 1.4 Astra

    Hi All,

    Over 6 weeks ago the engine blew in my 03 1.4 Astra. I got it towed and the recovery guy said that he would replace it for me. It turned out that he got the wrong type (I need the one with the catalytic convertor on the front). So basically I've been waiting for one to turn up. He is searching for one and another mechanic is on the case too. I'm just wondering if anyone here could point me in the direction of some breakers in the Munster area that might be able to help me. I'm sssooo fed up at this stage. Any advice is welcome

    Theres a guy out on the Ballyheigue Road, just beyond Ardfert heading out of Tralee who has a million Opels in his yard. Many quite modern crashed/damaged of all sorts. Dont know his name or number buy may be able to get it if it helps. Im from kerry myself but away from home at the moment, so I cant check it out personally, but could make a few calls.

    Sogood, that would be brilliant if you could do that for me. I would be able to get it collected myself so that wouldn't be a problem. Thanks a million

    Try Bob Sweeney's in Castleconnell, Co. Limerick. 061 377496

    Also as already mentioned www.traynors.co.uk up North, they deliver to the Republic. Just remember than Opel are Vauxhall up North but I would imagine they use the same engine. Just make sure the engine numbers match.

    The guy in Kerry (on the Ballyheigue Road out of Tralee) is called Sonny Kennely Phone 087 - 2574618.

    You could also ask over on the Irish Opel website - www.totalopel.com


    What happened to your engine btw?
    Timing belt break?
    What mileage was on it?

    I drive a '03 Astra 1.4 XE (67k miles).
