Re: Running LEAN 1.8i
Edit: So, I'm now aware that the 'injection' variant isn't direct to cylinder like you'd expect, but actually refers to this bastard of a carb with a single jet in it? I'm not even more confused than before, but oddly enlightened... You're possibly confusing port injection with direct injection bot...

Re: Radio bypasses ignition
Well, a while ago I bought another '95 Vectra A (a crashed one) for the parts, and, unlike mine it has the factory radio and speakers. The radio turns on whenever you press the button on it, but it also turns on and off through the ignition, and I want mine to do that too. Confused If it (the radio...

Re: Radio bypasses ignition
Can we define what we mean by 'turn on' here?
Radio goes active with ignition or actually starts playing music?
My radio won't operate without the ignition on either (engine not necessarily started) but that's been the case with all of my cars, not just my cavs

I didn't realise that there were Cavs where the radio came on with the ignition
I thought turning them on manually was the norm

Re: New Disc Warped
If you put the new disc on a flat surface, a kitchen worktop for example, with the contact between disc and surface at eye level and slowly rotate the disc, do you see any intermittent increases in gap between worktop and disc? Judging by the amount of warp you're describing, you should be able to. ...

Re: Crankshaft sensor
OK but if the EM light then goes out with the engine started, I don't see how anything can point to the crank sensor; if you've got an EM light that is behaving normally, you don't have any reason to run a paperclip test but if for some reason you decide to anyway and it's throwing up the code for a...

Re: Crankshaft sensor
There are either no sensor issues (anywhere, not just with your crank sensor) or the EM light bulb is blown/missing
What do you mean by 'never come on at all'?
Does the EM light come on with the ignition and then disappear after the engine is started?

Re: Crankshaft sensor
I once tricked a windscreen water reservoir level sensor into thinking it was OK by removing the (duff) sensor itself and shorting the pins in the loom. Absolutely no idea if that will work with something more sophisticated like a crank sensor.
Probably not.

Re: Mud flap
It's a bit murky out there and difficult to even get my fingers in for a feel with the tyres in the way but the rears appear to be held on by a couple of small g-clamp type fittings; the fitting sandwiches the lip of the rear bumper and the mudflap and the bolt tightens them together, holding the mu...

Re: V6 oil filter
I'm reasonably sure that most (petrol-engined) oil filters are compatible across the range from 1.2 up to the big-block stuff. There are a tiny few exceptions. I vaguely recall that the more recent lumps are OK for a certain batch of engine numbers but not for others.
