Mk3 Cavalier Owners Club | Vauxhall Cavalier Dot Com

Oh right ok, that is awesome! Also thanks for the welcome back :D In the previous post I also spoke about an emission problem the car used to have with passing the public transport MOTs. I also never got round to buying a new battery to test the paperclip trick either :/ - So still a work in progres...

Hey guys... I joined here around a year ago and hoping to become more active! Also hoping to get my first car running (1.8 8v Auto Cavalier)! So I have this Yellow Cavalier (was a taxi for many years hence the colour) that I posted here about a year ago asking about emissions and such - /viewtopic.p...

Hey guys... a year on and not a lot has really happened. We cleaned all the interior been while trying to keep the rest of it clean but that is about it. Rust started building up in the wheel arches again and under the right side back door. The central locking is still playing up and we want to get ...

So is a 'TAXI' mot stricter on emissions, Than a normal mot ? Thats maybe why it keeps failing then.. :scratch I was thinking that could possibly be something, but was told the regulations have changed since, so was since skeptical. When I manage to get a working battery to check the EML and try ou...

Meter? You mean the taxi meter? If that's fitted, you've got one hell of a rare example! The taxi meter: http://i.imgur.com/qcgeWRn.jpg Along with the printer still on the dashboard: http://i.imgur.com/d8GMjub.jpg Followed by the old taxi sign: http://i.imgur.com/Im4wW9M.jpg This one was actually t...

Looks fairly clean to me, your bog standard C18NZ. Other than what looks like an alarm wire from the battery terminal it's all original, even the heat induction hose going to the airbox from the manifold. The car doesn't actually have an alarm on it. I believe that wire probably has something to do...

I took a couple of pictures of the engine which I will attach to this post.




I will need to get a new battery for it so I can start it up to check the EML so will update when I manage to do that.

Ok, I'm not the brightest 20 year old here. I opened the bonnet to find the battery wasn't even connected (even though it isn't able to start with this battery) and the lights came up showing the EML... http://i.imgur.com/KzafxG3.jpg My parents tell me that the EML is supposed to show up and will st...

Ok, the engine light doesn't appear to show up. It managed to go through the last taxi-MOT when the EGR Valve and Catalytic converter were replaced before my dad took it off the road 5 years ago.

Oh right, I'm in the North of Bournemouth, in the Kinson area.

I spoke to my dad about it and he believes that it never had a new O2 Sensor. He had a EGR Valve replaced. I'm going to go check the Engine management light now and will let you know if it shows up.

Thank you for the advice and help!

Yeah, pretty much a new one every year due to the emissions standards changing. I shall check everything that is mentioned above as well as possibly getting a new O2 Sensor. It has done around 206,000 miles if that helps anything. Btw, what is the engine management light? And where abouts are you in...

Hey, have recently joined to ask if anyone has any advice regarding the Cavalier I currently have which has been SORN for around 5 years now. It's a 1993 1.8 8V hatchback. So here is the dilemma: This cavalier used to be used as a taxi for many years, until it was taken of and replaced in 2010. Sinc...
