Thanks Anders.
Will get front head off and check it out and replace as you advise. Seems it would be good to pull the oil cooler too and will probably do this and reinstall if in good condition (car had £750 done on it before I bought it and the gasket looks new(ish). May do the external cooler mod. as described on the bb if necessary.
Great description of the change and testing (on a Vauxhall Omega - same engine at:
http://www.qthemusic.free-online.co.uk/cally/v6oilcooler.htm
I like the balloon test and will try this out. Main dealer quotes £400 for new cooler. Aftermarket can be got for £175
Thanks as usual
Justin
