cheers dar,is that the way you done it?i saved this link ages ago so was just gonna follow this >> http://www.vauxhallownersnetwork.co.uk/showthread.php?t=123310 i take it this is well worth the time doing yeh?
Yup thats the way I do it. It's a very simple and quick job. You just take the plate off cut it with some snips. Round off the edges just to take any sharp edges off. Remove ALL the silicone from the cam cover and the small piece you are refitting. Then fit the small picece to the cam cover and refit the cam cover.
cheers chaps muchos gracios!!
