i had a 2.3 and apart from the usual inlet manifold problems (made of plastic and prone to cracking >:(),mechanically never really missed a beat,mine was always serviced on the button,and semi synthetic oil was always used,i also had the ultima,and the spec was amazing,personally thought the 2.3 was excellent all round,and from what you have posted what it owes you,you hve had a result... ;)

parts like clutches and brake calipers, pads disc's handbrake cables can be aquired through my brother all parts are new but if any of you require them will check on postage costs and add that to the price then you pay either by cheque or paypal or cash and then will post just let me know what you require and if i can get it i will :) :) :) all he requires is make,model reg number(so he can check part numbers on computer)
