Best of luck with it pal. Just be careful when you start to mod it power wise and it'll hopefully last.

You will get a slight whine in one of the gears first if it does go.

The head mechanic at my local Vx dealer. Think tbh no one will ever know for definite if there is or isn't a real issue.


The head mechanic at Eden Vauxhall Reading is likely to have had his cerebral cortex removed to work down there.

Sorry, I haven't read the thread. I just responded to the initial question.

Why is it too late? Has he bought already?

This is why I don't want a VXR, I'd say mine was the best spec you could possibly have and I'm not going to go through all that again modifying it.

I would have gone for M3/330 but then I've had 3 VXR's
