Hi Adam, which VIS motor? there are two power and balance. what went wrong with your attempted repair? Where abouts are you?

The Vis motor that has died is the one at the back connected directly to the butterfly valve, the circuit lines on the pcb had disintegrated so i made a repair using that conductive glue you get off flebay, when i connected it to the car it burst in to flames (not good). one good thing is my lad has agreed to help on the gearbox swap if i buy him a rear spoiler for his astra.
I am in Hornsea east Yorks.

Hmmm, VIS is pretty much unrepairable then

Thought i may be able to help a little in that dept.
Rimmers will have them on 2-3 days delivery
Part no is
MKE100110 for the 75/ZT. if you use MKE100110L you will save a couple of quid or so. ( same part but landrover) Make sure the flap it connects to is free to move through 90deg, if not then remove it and ease it by shaving the flap with a stanley knife or similar.

Check Rimmers for part numbers for gearboxes. I would have though the box will be the same. Whether the final drive ratio in the diff. is the same needs to be determined.

I think

the gearbox box for the ZT 2.5 160 has the same ratio's as the 75 but the 190 is different.

Yes you are correct, i have had a look at rimmer bros site and it is the box from a 190 i need, Vis motor looks good value at about £90 so i think i will buy one.

Any idea how long the gearbox swap should take, i replaced an auto transaxle gearbox on my Porsche 928 last year, i dont think any gearbox swap will come anywhere near to being as ****** awkward as that.
Thanks all for your help
