yeah i have been told that the dash may have to come out to find the earth the fuses are fine its just freezing because of the time of year lol might just cut my losses and send it to the auto electricians.

happy new year to everyone i have just fixed the cavalier td a went to swap my insurance over last night (online) and because the glow plug relay is not turning the plugs on so to get it going last night i used the good old method of using one jump lead direct to the plugs and hey presto but since i...

hiya and welcome to cavmk3oc.com. v6 cdx was the flagship 'luxury' model at one point, all the bells and whistles. the top level performance version was the 2.0 turbo 4x4. the diplomat was also a comfortable cruiser but you're along the right lines with the cdx. the LS was poverty spec in compariso...

thats what mine is 17td isuzu lump its a tool for a old stick burner there good reliable engines iam hoping for a bigger turbo and fitting my cosworth intercooler when its fixed obviously then it will be a tool and a half.

Cutting a spring, if done properly, does not make it weaker. I said it increases spring rate. And as for pig tail springs, it only becomes useless as it won't fit. My point was it is safe to cut them if done properly. Well let me know when you do this and it fails My father-in-law 30 years experien...

oh dear lol that will be why the corsa b ones didnt work i think i will be buying cav 60s mine is currently sitting permantly on the bump stops i think because it really is bouncy i will put a picture up on the other post with the damage that was done by fitting corsa 60s

i fitted corsa 60s on mine because due to my financial circumstances i couldnt afford coilovers and i wanted it slammed and could only find cav 60s but in my opinion fitting corsa 60s on a cav is just as bad as cutting them just as bouncy and has done just as much damage.

i have looked for coilys but f**k me there expensive i wonder if i can get custom lowering springs that are lower than 60s cos that is all i can find for a cav.

i have cut springs on a wide variety of different cars and to different drops in my experience either the springs snap and your car ends up lop sided or everything just disintergrates suspension components mostly i will be fitting cav 60s to the front of mine or if i can get some custom lower ones i...

is it possible to do away with conventional cavalier struts (ones that dont split) and replave them with mk4 astra ones then i can go for coilovers lol or is this not possible.

i would listen to the advice that others have gave you i was the plum that didnt listen i fitted corsa b 60s to the front of mine it sits around 80mm on the front but in the space of 3 month i have destroyed 2 bottom arms a track rod end 2 shafts and a wheel bearing go for it if you have bottomless ...
