Have you checked the rear screen to ensure all the tracks are intact, and that the wires either side are connected? maybe it's had a rear screen in the past and they didn't connect them back up? Another thing you can do if you have a test metre is check the voltage going across the rear screen with...

Ok if tech1 is no use, next thing I would do is get a multimeter out and test all the wires for any brakes or weak bits and check the plugs for dirty conectors. Then the only thing I can think of after doing thay is start swapping parts over, but that could get expensive. Greig thats exactly what i...

7.9 seconds and what engine is that?
my last car did 0-60 in 4.95 seconds and 1/4 mile in 13.4 seconds and produced 320 bhp (all proven nissan 200sx) so my old gsi2000 feels like a slugen though its a proven 183 bhp

I am in north wales. a paint shop by me has match the paint £45 for 1/2 a litre :o Thats gotta be waterbased, no way is that 2pac its a clear over base colour so i take it your refering to the base coat and not the laquer? as for prices solvent based is being phased out but it ranges from £15-£100 ...

tech 1 only works on cars made in 1992 and newer,my gsi2000 is a 1990 G reg,ive even had a auto electritrion round to have a look and he couldnt test it, can sombody tell me exactly what the surge arrestor is atcualy? so far ive checked every thing else.its either the surge arrestor relay of a dodgy...

is it possable to test my surge arrestor relay?
could this be a possability why my abs keeps playing up?ive changed 1 sensor,2 cv joints,the pump and still no joy

any idears where the relay is?

ive been out to my car and the switch only illuminates with the dash lights,when i push or hold the vutton down nothing happens ie the green or red l.e.d in the top of the switch doesnt light up,any ideas?

does the switch stay depressed or does it return to the same position? and if you hold the switch in does the screen eventually demist? well when i brought the car every switch had a blue led bulb inside so i changed every switch back to standard and i recall it did exactly the same with the old bl...

as above realy,my gsi2000 heated rear window has never worked for the 3 years os so that ive had her and im wondering whats the usual fualt? the fuse seems ok and the swith illuminated when i hold it down but when i take my finger off it stops being illumonated,is it most likley the switch or a rela...

my gsi2000 had one of these kits when i brought it bit i put it back to standard as its not to my taste,easy to fit but just not my cup of tea

little up date,i fitted a pair of pattern cv joints today and hey presto no more annoying abs problems,it was all down to 1 deas sensor and the cv joints were just realy rusty which must of been making it hard for the sensors to pick up a signal,shame i went through the hassle of changing the pump e...

its not hard to change drive shafts,pretty much any novice could manage it.this thred reminds me of a 1.6 cavalier my mate had years ago,it had done 200k miles and had a clicking cv joint with a split gaitor for about a year any way one day he wheel spinned it out of a junction like he always did an...

update on my gsi2000, not good so far ive fitted a new abs sensor,cured the light coming up whilst driving,also fitted a full abs pump/ecu whic has made no difference so ive still got a abs problem where the abs is triggered at low speed, all 4 speed sensors have the correct 0hm rating,secondhand pu...

luckaly enough i checked ebay and just found a identical abs pump for £50,fingers crossed it will be a straight forwad swap and it will cure my abs problems for good. ive had my gsi2000 for 3 years and apart from break pads etc it has been virtualy fault free then as soon as the country goes into re...

if you want it mega low then use 60mm cavalier front springs an nova 60mm rear springs because most cavalier 60mm lower dspring kits leave the rear sitting high. as for cutting springs dont bother because the rear springs are a pig tail design so they wont fit back in if you cut them,cutting springs...

what time and date is the southend meet guys? last few times ive been up southend i ended up playing with the local scooby impretza chavs on the a130,any good cav xe will see off a standard turbo2000awd scooby (bottom uk spec like most are) two of my mates have got redtop astra gsi's is it ok if the...

Probably pump as you suggested, its normally the control board having dry joints. is this something i can repair with out spending a load more money because my cavalier being a early model its a nightmate to get 2nd hand parts for,i just paid £100 for a new abs sensor :wall i could realy do with fi...

hi all,ive recently had problems with my abs light coming up on the dash and the abs cutting in at low speeds(less than 10 mph) any way i replaced the sensor that was at fault this was the o/s/f,i know this because i tested all 4 sensors with a multimeter. with the new sensor fitted the abs light co...

ait looks pukka mate,money well spent if you ask me

i just did a oil change on my 1990 c20xe cav gsi2000, i usualy use genuine gm 10-40 oil and filter as it only costs me £15ish trade (i usualy but about 5 or 6 filters and 20/30 litres of oil to last me) any way i used a gm filter ans some 10-40 semi oil (car lube of similar cheap make) plus i put 1 ...

oh my god i love it ,how low is your car,it looks lower than a 60mm drop

if you have still got the sri cav? can you see if its got the CJ front abs sensors,if it has il have them both,cash waiting,infact id like all the abs relays too,thanks simon.
