Re: Cavalier SRi Turbo

I'll fit an Astra shaft anyway as they're shorter. I did think the socket may have worn. Have you got a part number for the rod?

Re: Cavalier SRi Turbo

Dropped her off at the bodyshop today.
Managed to refit the gear linkage after I fitted rose joints. Feels firmer and smoother now. Only play is on the actual gear stick now. Will have to upgrade for mk4 one.

It came with a few different springs (fitted with the yellow one iirc), but with no accompaying documentation! iirc yellow is lowest rating. I ...

Re: Cavalier SRi Turbo

I got a bit bored as the Cav is still at the exhaust builders, So I got to sorting the actuator bracket. You have to cut off the old standard actuator from the bracket. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/eltel/2015-02-04170434_zpsd8432419.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/eltel/2015-02-0417...

No Dan, I was just comparing tail pipes to see what I liked. That big ole can is ridiculously loud. It's straight through pipe to the back box.

Re: No charge light

No corroded or damaged wires that I could see. Engine has just been changed for a LET so it's all been out and looked over. Only checked off the battery, Alt and Battery are both new so I doubt it would be them unless it was a faulty reg, But I'm sure I'd get a battery light on the dash. I do suspec...
