Cheers Gaz. Is it as simple as pulling them off and blowing them through?

Not sure if this is in the right section of the forum.

Anyway, had this problem on my last cav too. When I try and fill up at the garage the pump clicks off as though the tank is full every litre or so. I try and reposition the nozzle but no joy. Is there any way to sort this?

Thanks, I'll give that a miss then. So whats the next plan- head work/cam or something "bolt on"?

How hard is it to fit a 2.0 8v and is it worth the effort?

Singlepoint. Would a de-cat pipe make much difference?

Just found a hole in my radiator. Chucked a bottle of rad-seal in but would rather replace it. Is it a simple job? Where's the cheapest place to get a new rad?

Sodding low pressure weather system here bringing rain :shock: :( just gotta wait till it dries out now :roll: The exhaust's under the car, it's not raining under there! :p I know what you mean though, at least it's a job you can stop at any time and wait for another day. The last time I got my spa...

EBAY!! I made my own before on my last Cav. Might be able to make another one out of my exisiting grille if I get time. I'll keep you posted.

Blimey, thats even cheaper than my Cav! At the end of the day mate, it doesn't matter what it's worth to someone else, it's what it's worth to you. I paid £150 for mine but there''s no way I'd let it go for less than £500!

I know! I picked up a turbo spoiler and GSi grille for £13 and thats the body mods done (when they're fitted). I am toying with the idea of painting the door & bumper bottoms black.

Here she is with her new boots on- £80 from ebay!! Just been refurb-ed and 2 new tyres on the front, rears are like new too.

Thats a bugger. Brand new Scorpion stainless DTM back box for £59.99 or best offer:

I think they're supposed to be £150+

I've got a reducer somewhere in the shed which I reckon would adapt the bore, just need to know it the hangers are in the same place?

I've been offered a back box off a GSi, will it fit my 1.8?

Problem solved. 25 quid off ebay.

Ideal base for getting your cav exactly how you want, for £150 you can't argue. I know, I can't believe it was so cheap. Drives ok too. Might need some shocks soon though. I'm gonna give her a good rogeri......er....I mean clean tonight to remove all the moss thats growing in all the little gaps! B...

I took delivery of my cheap and cheerful project cav yesterday but the keys are all different. I've scanned ebay for a set of door locks, ignition barrel, tailgate lock and keys but theres only 1 set on there.

Any other ideas?

Finally took delivery of my Cav today!! Have been driving a Vectra B, VW Golf & a Mondeo for the last 6 months until this appeared on ebay: 07e3_12.JPG It was a mile down the road from my mums and the seller kindly trailered it to my house today. 112k miles, been regularly serviced, no (well.......

Just bought another Cav with a 1.8 lump this time. I'm not after mega power so no engine swaps, just wanna know whats good to get a little more out of this engine?

Would an induction kit off a 2.0 fit?

I've read several reports/articles that all say the best flowing filters are the standard paper jobbies.

Can't beat the sound of an induction kit roaring at full tilt though

I forgot I posted this thread. It's fitted and went straight on but it stuck out past the bumper by about 4"!!

So I cut it back with a grinder and stuck a chrome trim over it.

Same as mine looked a week ago.............

nah ! it looks as if its shat itself :lol: You'd have shat yourself if you came out with me on the local "roads"** with the lowered suspension. ;) **Roads. Not supposed to have grass growing up the middle and only be accesible to Land Rovers like where I live......... :roll: I think it ha...

Here she is back at normal height this afternoon:

looks miles better, you got any more plans for it? Yes, I've just come in from putting the standard springs back on! The ride on the lower springs was horrendous. The stock springs aren't too much higher and the comfort level is amazing. Oh, and I've painted all 4 calipers red. They look much bette...
