Ah well, at least I am nearer to finishing work than you young uns...
If I stay till 65, then I'll retire in 23 yrs... ha ha

ive got bang on 30 years to do, but by then it will probably be up to 80!

i had it once with a mk2 jetta, identical car, keys got me in but wouldnt start the thing.after 5 mins of waggling, trying different keys, i got out and looked at the reg,noly to find a couple staring at me, cos they thought i was taking it.
i sheepishly had to explain that i had the wrong car.

cheers guys, gonna see ring my insurer and see how much it will be to insure the cav for a bit.

Got a plan!!!i did one on an 1.8 cavalier not long ago,and one of the blokes i work with(who doesnt any more),said had did one a while back cos it went just as he was selling the car, took him 10 minutes. so, he has set up on his own now, if i ask him what his hourly rate is,and get the parts and dr...

i heard of someone getting pulled because of the sticker you have on your car.
apparently the police didnt see the funny side

Well I hope you all have sympathy for me when I go there (Blackpool) one evening this week (probably Thursday Night). Wife insists that we have to see the lights :wall Ho Hum, 2 hrs queuing in traffic, for same-old same-old lights. :( By-the-way... I use the M60, M66 and M65, not the M61 to get up ...

did vauxhall do a cav turbo? or is it a conversion?

why did vauxhall bring out the mk3 cavalier in sri models and also in gsi models? i know they didnt do a gte,i take it that the gsi is the range topper, my assumption is that the gsi was ecotec'd whilst the sri was an 8v,was the difference, apart from trim, something like a cam, from the 2.0 gls. so...

yes it does think i was aroun that age myself when it was on 1st time around,i remember mum and dad being hooked on it

after todays shenannigans vith my van, i think its gonna have to, got a hell of a lot of time and money in the van,so im gonna have to get that sorted.

whats it like pricewise to insure a 2.0 cav in the manchester area? just that i remember in the 90's in manchester that they were the twocers car of choice, and if you had an m12 postcode like i did back then, not to even attempt to get a price.
theyn should come under a classic scheme now, surely?

im know its a month on but im new and can be excused, but i think it looks cool that low, have you put it back to height/ if so what was the ride like when it was that low?

thats it, it looks like a squished lotus carlton.

HEY GUYS! great news.i also have a vw type 25 van with a 2.0 ford pinto efi engine in it,got a running problem with it and ive just done a compression test on it aaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnndddddddddddddddd..........................head gasket gone between 2 & 3.
oh joy.

check the wiring for the seatbelt pretensioner,under the seat.for the airbag light.

i agree their easy to do, its just with cleaning the head and block up that pisses me off, i get all ocd over it and have to have it spot on, thats the time consuming bit, then ill be like, "well may as well do a belt on it now, i cant help myself, and its an extra cost i can do without at the ...
