Any interest on here before it goes on ebay.
55 plate Silver Vauxhall Vectra SRI 150 CDTI Diesel. Has been diagnosed as the cambelt gone by the AA and investigated no further.

Currently on SORN will have to check MOT.
Recent work has been new brakes and clutch.
Car ran well with no nocks or rattles.
Two brand new tyres and two very good ones and no kerb marks on the wheels.
Has a tow bar and a Nokia bluetooth hands free kit.
Apart from the damage listed below non of the panels are damaged, but it does need a good wash.
What it needs.
The interior needs a good clean but is not damaged.
Scuffs to the top of the rear bumper from when loading the boot.
Crack to the front bumper on the offside and needs a fog light.
Cracked rear lamp lense.
And of course the repair whatever that may be to the cambelt.

Isn't the SRI 150 the 2.2 petrol? that has a camchain and no belt. The SRI 140 is the 2.0 16v and that has a cambelt

The earlier Vectra Sri150 was a 2.2 petrol but the newer shape Vectra had a 1.9 diesel that came in 120 and 150 versions. As you can pick up the
former with half the mileage and running with T&T for this money or less, I would imagine it is more likely to be the latter.

Oops missed that bit. Its a 55 plate September 2005.
As for if its a safe engine, I wouldn't have a clue.
It cut out without any noise or warning and the AA said the belt had gone. Towed to the garage and waited ages for them to have a look at it which
they never got round to. So in the end bought a new car and selling this as is. Have owned the car since 30K.

Quick google shows common fault is water pump seizing causing belt to jump or snap. It's not a safe engine so everything will have hit
everything

Interesting reading, seems that it breaks the rocker arms and the valves survive. Probably not always the case.
