Is it overheating at all?
Sorry for the delay. but no it does not overheat. It gets up to temperature and the electric fan comes on and down she goes.

Re: Cavalier 2.0 Petrol, C20NE, Running Problem

One thing I have noticed (may or may not be related) is when I leave it to idle for a while, it starts to get the lumpiness again and, I think, would stop a...

Cavalier 2.0 Petrol, C20NE, Running Problem

I have a 1993 cav which starts first time, every time but after it has warmed up and then I turn off the engine for a stop, it has trouble starting as if it is flooded. If I turn it over for a while and tickle the throttle, it will start but lumpy until revving seems to clear the lumpiness. After th...

Re: Handbrake Grip Removal

Hi All,
Sorry for the time taken to reply but suggestions gratefully received and now the gaiter is sorted.

I have some other questions on illumination lights so will start a new post.

My cavalier is doing well. May see it around the Fareham area. Only a 2.0LS but quite tidy.

Cheers,
Rupsey

Handbrake Grip Removal

Hello All, After a member kindly supplied handbrake and gear lever gaiters as mine were shot, I have successfully managed to fit the gear lever one. Looks great. Now to the handbrake gaiter. This requires removal of the handbrake grip which Haynes says will just pull from the handbrake. Well I have ...
