Mk3 Cavalier Owners Club | Vauxhall Cavalier Dot Com

I've used talc powder in the past to trace leaks. Cover the inside of the boot in it, then when the water runs over it it's easy seen the way the water came from.

Been a year since I've put anything on this. Well this week the car passed it's MOT with the normal advisory ie to much underseal. Done a massive 242 miles between the mot's this time :shock: if my maths are correct. Also had to fit yet another new battery today too. Up next is replacing the cheap s...

Think you will find lots of vauxhall s have same fitting for steering wheel, up until the mk5 astra / vectra c. I have a vectra b wheel on my cavalier.

Greig

Make one, I did when I needed that part. It's not hard to make.

Greig

Some amount of work gone in to that turbo. I'm sure it will put a huge smile on your face once one bolted on to your engine.

Greig

Good work going on there keeping the car going. Cavaliers easy and cheap to fix, if you keep up the maintenance. It's just the rust that kills them off.

This weekend I've removed the vectra b central locking from the cavalier and fitted the vauxhall remote central locking kit for the cavalier. http://imageshack.com/a/img924/2528/WNXUVA.jpg All in and working once I fitted new battery to the remotes. While the car was in bits I fitted a aux point and...

B and Q wasp spray works. I used it last year on the little so and so's.

Greig

Need pics!!!!! No point telling us that and not showing us. Lol

That's the power steering pipes the thin one goes round in front of the rad in a loop. That bit in front of the rad acts as a cooler for the power steering fluid. So your needing power steering pipes, not coolent pipes. I had to buy a replacement pipe (the thicker of the 2 in your pic) when I first ...

Car passed MOT. Only 1 advisory as normal for 'chassis undersealed restricting full inspection'. Car has done 382 miles between the MOTS this time.

Had the bonus of coming back clean as the rain held off today.
So I'm happy.

Greig

Well won't stay clean tomorrow. As it's ment to be raining and the cav has its MOT. fingers crossed no problems.

Greig

No pin holding it in . It will just be tight because it's probably never been moved since the car was made. Try some WD40 and wiggling it about till it pulls out.

Greig

Open up the lugs on it and it will pull out. May need to use a screw driver to lever it out. Use grease on it when you refit it.

Today I have spent hours cleaning the cavalier. Started off using g3 scratch remover on most of the car. Then g3 paint renovater on all the car. That got rid of quite a few scratchs and marks on the paint. Black shows them up to easy. Next I polished the car twice and waxed it twice. So in all 6 tim...

On my road trip around Europe I only seen 4 cavaliers. In fact seen much more Ferrari. Lol

I filled in my postal vote today. I've been on the fence for a long time, but have voted to leave.

Smart looking car

Nice video
You got around a lot quicker than I did when I done the ring in 2014.

Greig

I was called up to do it a 4 or 5 years ago. I phoned them up and said ill do it but you will need to pay for a flight to get there and back. As I was working up in Shetland at the time. The bloke at the other end of the phone said forget about it ill put you down as unavailable. Made me happy . Greig

Hi and welcome. :thumb Not a quick job.. And not cheap either. Dual mass flywheel, and I think the clutch swap time is about 7 hours labour. The wife has a 2005 Vectra with the dreaded 1.9cdti 150. I am not looking forward to the day when her clutch goes either. The labour bill is more than the valu...

That's a pity, there's no slip so will probably live with it for a while till I feel better off. I can't believe how the good this is on fuel for a 2.0 I reckon I was getting at least mid 30's on the 100 odd miles back home. The volvo next to it has the same size engine but struggles to do better t...

No delocked door handle fitted. And no miss adjusted rods. I had my spair door lock mechanism with central locking motor lying on the floor . But conected up to the car. When I pushed the rod and clicked micro switch. As it would work when fitted in the door. Nothing happened. The motor would stay d...

This weekend I've been playing with the central locking. Have a question up in the electrics bit of the site about the vectra stuff when fitted to a cavalier. I dug out some of my spare wiring looms and front door central locking motors. Got them layed out on the bench , wired up to a battery and th...

I've half fitted the vectra b central locking to my cavalier. Just need to change driver door motor for a passanger one. Today I plugged in my spair door wiring loom and pass door motor attached to the lock mechanism. On the door plug of my cavalier drivers door. The lock will now dead lock the driv...
