a friend of mine is having a stock clearout at the spares shop he works at, in amongst it all is a load of old Vaux headlamps http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k155/asa_037/for%20sale/IMG_1174_zpsd0dd375f.jpg http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k155/asa_037/for%20sale/IMG_1172_zps0d011a53.jpg http://i...

I'm going to give it a proper go myself, start from the front and work back, and even chance a go at bodywork. I may not like the car, but I don't hate it enough to see it gone. First job is strip the bumper and front wings off, and assess the front end

it's staying.

It's still in one piece, still on daily use, but it knows ( developed a knock out of nowhere, I think it's an arb link) I've been offered a spot in a unit to store it last night, by a vauxhall hating vw loving friend who really wants me to keep it. Just weighing up the options of if I can make it wo...

MOT tester and mechanic at a small town centre garage

well, i'll post again, but you might not like it. it's time has come, end of the road, after 18 months of reliable motoring i've had an offer i cannot refuse with regards to another car. so the cav will be respectfully dismembered at the end of october, and as much as possible will live on in other ...

to say the project has been stagnant since last year in an understatement, severe shortage of funds and no spare time means its just been used and abused since last november, but hasnt missed a beat. MOT last month was pretty good, me and one of the lads at work rebuilt one of the rear chassis legs ...

i've got a similar problem, but having changed my top mounts for he ones off my old car, it pretty much eliminates them. is it just a wobble through the steering wheel? or does it come trough the whole car? knowing the very recent history of my SRi, i'm currently trying to find a pair of driveshafts...

I wouldn't touch a cdti. Piles of crap. reasons? to be fair the hugely vast majority of modern diesels arn't much cop, but it seems the vaux/alfa units are at least the best of a bad bunch peugeot/citroen can't build diesels since the 306 (HDi electrical nightmares) renault's are for sadists VW/Aud...

Fine by me, I strangely enjoy working on them

It's for my old man, and I'll be doing all and any work if (when) it goes wrong. I know the 1.9's inside out (its just an Alfa unit, I used to work on them all day :)) As I said reliability and economy are paramount, he does 120 miles every day to work and back, and is fed up of his blue oval tdci g...

Opinions? Thoughts? Experience?

Don't care about power, more the reliability And economy side

uploading the pics now, expect nothing short of David Faily with them (camera's getting a bit past it, plus i'm well out of practice with it)

where do you want them, here or new thread?

The cav got stood up on its date today. I'll fly to one of them garage jetwwashes in the morning now

definitely still going, i've got the cav on a hot date tomorrow with a bucket of warm water (might even put a bit of soap in it)

i'll also have the hound in tow, as ive another meet to get to afterwards

My 2 year old staffy Lola

Impairs drivers vision within 30cms? Mascots and other external mountings forward of the windscreen are not part of the test. Great big hulking metal objects protruding through the bonnet? so long as there are no protruding sharp edges caused by corrosion or accident damage theres not much a tester...

Without sounding like in taking the proverbial, if you wish to keep the 1600, strip it out. Lose as much weight off the car as possible. Rear seats, all trims, carpets, dash (if your desperate). Engine wise, look down the route of cams, exhaust... All depends on how deep your pockets are. Quickest, ...

The cav split a fuel line today. 200 yards from the house on the way home. With all the mileage I've done, all the journeys taken, how did it know to break a stones throw from home? In a similar vein, I once drove a nova from Manchester, and as I put it in reverse at home to park, it sheared the cam...

It probably should be more, I get it at a pretty good discount
