Hiya guys, I need some help with a new (to me!) CDX. The heater is jammed in the full heat mode. The sliding lever moves, but the control cable behind will not move. Ive pulled the heater controls out and im thinking the flaps or whatever are siezed? Is this possible? I cannot move the control cable...

Awesome photos guys, Im truly gutted i missed it I hope i didnt keep ya'all waiting for me too long? I didnt have anyones number to text or ring.
Still no news on whats caused all my problems, although ive dropped,changed the coolant and bled it up and it seems ok so far.

Cant make it im afraid, the car boiled up and is loosing coolant. I only made it 15miles from home I think its headgasket has gone Have fun guys!

Ah, I tell you what, I can bring a 2.0 one down and I'll do you a swap if it works? In fact, if you pull the comp out and let me know the p/n printed on the sticker/on the side I can tell you if it's a v6 one or not, or even a straight six one. Sounds good, theres a couple of numbers on it, (GM 90 ...

Would there be any interest in me bringing my Tech 1 kit down to this event, and giving any car that is in need a good shake down/fault code readout/clear etc? For a small fee, of course! 8-) :lol: I was going to ask this, but felt too cheeky!! :oops: My fuel computer is showing 'F' i think because...

I work in a petrol station, and have towed many cars off the forecourt both dead and alive. Nissan Navara, Transit lwb, mondeos etc. Biggest thing i have pulled is a Range Rover Sport thing. 2.5 tons according to Google! I also have towed a caravan, 4 birth, plated at 1.1 ton unladen. On the road I'...

Hi, im thinking of replacing the copper brake lines that run from the ABS thingy under the bonnet and run along the side of the car to the rears. They have been replaced by an amateur at some point, they aren't routed properly and look to have been done by Stevie Wonder! Its obviously going to be a ...

Modern vauxhall metal quality! At first i thought it was a hub cap put back on, but on closer inspection the alloy had.completely split in 2 on both front and rear wheels!!

No mate. Light red 94 with phase one front bits?? What ever it hit, it went in hard.

I rattle canned a bonnet in my dads kitchen. For some reason i didn't put any paper down. Everything went black, cupboards, floor, white goods, pans etc all had a light misting of black! I also washed an entire moped engine case and transmission in the dishwasher. Came out lovely :thumb The benefits...

Its well gone Front drivers wheel is pushed up into the door. Brutal! Thanks for all the advise, i was hoping it was a cheap fix.

Hi, I've found a Cav in a local scrappy which has had a front end crash. The rear arches are really good, i mean really clean. The cars only done 70k. I was thinking of cutting the rear arches out to weld into mine to replace my rusty ones. I was thinking of cutting from the sill, all the way around...

Seeing this made my evening. Legit Lupo recovery vehicle!?

Hi, I've owned my Cav for about 15 months now, and im wondering about changing the cambelt. It was changed for me when i bought the car as part of the deal, and the car has done 22,000 miles since. How often is it due a change? I have a haynes manual, but I've lost it when i moved house. I've done t...

Only thing I've done for the snow is block my top grill with a bit of cardboard. Its got a new 'stat and coolant but my 2 litre don't like the cold.
I work in a petrol station, people have been bulk buying fuel all week

Im the odd one out i think...

Pretty much anything really

Just got home. Fuel pump is on its way out. The poor manchetts bloke is paid a flat rate, even for Christmas day, £8 odd. He was pleased to see my car, he owned several in the past. Super helpful and towed me home.

To xmas day. My cav has died. Doing 80 on the way home from seeing the folks, it sputtered and lost power. Im currently waiting for recovery. Hope its not terminal, it cranks and sounds like it wants to fire but doesn't.
Hope everyone has had a good day x

On a run i see 32 from my c20ne.
Round town, probably less than 20. Brutal
I work in a petrol station, and when people moan about their car or filling it up, i point to my innocent looking vauxhall and tell them what its like. Soon shuts them up.Il never sell it though.

Fantastic!
Thanks for the help. The local motorspares has them quite cheap. Im hoping to get the local garage to fit them.
Thanks for the pic, really helped Going to buy a set tomorrow

Ive had similar with mine. Deadlocked it, then couldnt unlock it because it had frozen. I was so worried about snapping the key or the lock by forcing it, i climbed in through the boot Not my most elegant moment.

Many thanks for the offers guys. If someone does remember that would be great. I had a bad experience the last time i jacked my car up, i wont go into details but im a bit weary of it now
Gaz, i PM'd Dan.

Hi, Im looking at getting a set of the spring assistors for the rear of my cav when towing. They are sold by measuring the gap between the coils when the car is jacked up. My question is, if anyone has their car jacked up, or a rear coil spring off the car, if they could measure the gap for me pleee...
