Opel engine covers??

[DIXIE]

yo peeps..

do any of you know where to find an Opel engine cover for my AH?

what i mean by that, is the thin black plastic thing on the rocker cover that says 'ecotec' and has the lion logo on it..

i dunno if they make opel ones, all i can find atm are vxr ones.

any help would be appreciated :)

[Nurb608]

Can get them from Germany, eBay, South Africa etc etc. I'm being lazy, what motor you running again?

[DIXIE]

lol Z20LET..

[Nurb608]

lol Z20LET..

In a astra h?

[DIXIE]

screwed if i know.. lol its Z20 something something.. the cars not here atm so i cant have a look.
its whatever the AH sri-t's come with.. u should know this!!
im the VL guy, i have no idea lol.

im looking at the german ebay atm, but i cant find an opel cover.. there seems to be an abundance of vauxhall vxr ones though

[Nurb608]

you sir, are a legend! thanks man :)

[Nurb608]

No probs. I'll have a quick look to see if I can find it cheaper, but thats pretty cheap for a brand new part.

One pound difference, lol but check shipping rates. I can vouch for courtenay sports customer service though ;)

[DIXIE]

actually im looking at the courtenay plenums theyve got for sale.. 87 pounds.. interesting..

[Nurb608]

Yeah, theyve got some good stuff. Just remember they include vat in thier prices so it works out cheaper for us because we don't pay it :)

[DIXIE]

its an interesting thought.. i think they look better than the tophat thingys you can get..

[Nurb608]

Also remember that anything coming out of europe at the moment may be delayed due to that rude volcano grounding planes :p

[DIXIE]

i know right.. im scheduled to go to europe on may 15th and this silly volcano is throwing a monkey wrench in my whole thing!

I might have an OPC one lying around at home for sale if your interested...I'll have a look if your interested...

[03srit]

Are those ones in courtenay's fit z20let?

[Nurb608]

Yeah, for all Z20LE* motors

[DIXIE]

if you've got the blue OPC one, i'll def take it off your hands man! how much you chasing?

[jastra]

What about the ones for the z18xe?? The full cover I can't seem to find them lol

[Nurb608]

I cant either, but the opel part number is 55354755 if that helps ;)

[jastra]

I spose it could if you could learn german contact an Opel dealer then ask them to send one... I wonder if they would hmmm mite be worth a try. Either that or I'll paint it

[Nurb608]

lol, painting it would be cheaper!

Dave @ Irmscherbitz has an account with Opel so he can order you one. No idea on price though.

[poita]

if you email them they will respond in english 99% of the time.

if not offer neeko a blowy and he will do it for you :)

im doing it the tight ass way. im gonna spray my current holden engine cover red. then get in bold white writing on the bottom right OPC. hopefully itl look alright. if it looks shit ill just pick one up from a wrecking yard when im in lebanon.

"Sprechen Sie Englisch?" is all you have to ask. lol.

Seriously though, English has been a standard part of the curriculae in germany for many years now. So if they don't speak it, they can usually find someone close by to trasnlate. Or do what I do when net shopping in Deutchsland, look here, http://www.freetranslation.com/

I got my Kühlergrill off the German bay. 'Twas quite funny when the seller would reply in his native tongue while we were both madly deciphering at each end. I hope I didn't say anything too rude. :yikes:

[metry]

i use an add on to google crhome which translates german text or any language for that matter to english
