Re: Headlight manual adjuster to electric

Yes that would be the hard and correct way to do so, alas I have done it without stripping just removed manual winder and put the electric one inside.

Re: Headlight manual adjuster to electric

It is doable as I have done it myself but be careful with popping the manual adjuster knob from its place because it is easy to break. For the info I have been doing this on facelift headlights but I recon they are the same except the glass.

Does anyone know if there is any difference between air condition lines from Vauxhall Cavalier Mk 3 and Opel Vectra A (one being RHD and other LHD)? I'm interested only in lines, I know there is slight difference in the interior regarding evaporator.

Re: 1989 Opel Vectra GT

There is a person on german ebay who makes small rubber parts from polyurethane for older opel/vauxhall cars such as those rubbers you were searching. I ordered a pair from him they are well made and seem more durable than rubber and not really expensive. https://www.ebay.de/itm/373045081164?hash=it...

Roof carrier system

Has anyone had roof carrier system on their cav (front and back bars) I orderd some NOS ones but I don't really get how I'm supposed to install them. Not sure if there are supposed to be some screws mounted inside the 4 holes on the car ?

Re: Steering knuckles

Rears are basically bolt on with minor modification regarding handbrake cables. I'll probably try and find the fronts from late calibra.
