Thanks a lot mate! does the belt go through the bracket off the wing for the power steering pump/engine mount or run underneath it from the bottom pulley to the power steering pump??

Thanks.

Both slabs & fanblades are 15" what size are your wheels ? gte champs are 15" aswell[/quote]

Is there anything else connected to the handbrake on a cavi apart from the light for the dashboard and the cable for the brakes? Had my phone charger plugged into cigarette lighter earlier on and i was fiddling with the handbrake and noticed the charger cut off and on as i pulled the handbrake on an...

yeh i do like the wheels i have on now,just like my wheels to fill the arches a bit more! what size are the slabs and fan blades? are they both 15's ?? cant wait to get it looking thw way i want to with the subtle mods mentioned as above!

Thanks for the comments! Wont be doing anything too serious to it...probably a nice set of slabs or fan blades in black then lower it slightly as its a bit wavey on the motorway! Maybe just put a nice backbox on it and a general tidy up for now.

xbox live is awsome buddy! one of the best things i have ever baught...not only just for gaming but dvd player,music player too! i probably wouldnt play mine anywhere near as much if i didnt have xbox live to play online. i would deffiniteley reccomend fifa12 if you are into football and forza4 if y...

Yeh no probs gaz i will do! Bit peed off tbh as i paid 36 quid for a 2nd hand part off the net and seen some new old stock on ebay for 15 quid but hey ho....just my lick the one i baught wont work or it will just be the connector on the unit thats faulty and im too late to get a refund for the part ...

Ok thats great then mate thanks a lot! I will have it on the ramp tomorrow anyway as new exhaust is getting fitted so i will check the wiring out when im underneath before i take the tank off to look at the sender unit.
Thanks again! martin.

oh.....lol i thought i had an external fuel pump on the backl of the tank but that must be the filter then.
where is the sender located then robsey? do i have to drop the tak toget to it mate??

so this is what i baught off the net from the breakers yard down south...is this the standard fitment for the cavalier fuel tank?? http://i1082.photobucket.com/albums/j369/mixxr3i2011/DSC_0170.jpg but this is what i have on the top of my fuel tank under the cap of the back seat.... the fuel tank was...

Yeh its number 5 on this diagram i have power from to my cd player?? Only one that switches on and off with the ignition

Only way i can seem to get my cd player to light up and come on is by moving the live for cd player to re/blue wire on top left of power plug as you face it with locking pin at too also.... Is this right as it doesnt come on with any other wire thats supposed to be marked as switched ignition live.....

Okay....took out the cd player this morning to check the wiring harness on the cd player and the loom leading into dash for stereo and speakers etc...couldnt physically see any broken wires or anything that may be causing cd player to be switching on and off like it has! I reffered to a post on here...

Ok i will check my battery connections and check the connections on the clocks. I am going to put an additional earth from the gearbox housing to the chasis as welk as i couldnt see one when i was underneath last weekend so surely that woyld help some. Need to have a look at the wiring harness for t...
