Re: 1990 Vauxhall Cavalier 1.8GL
Unfortunately the cavalier had its cambelt slip off on me a few weeks ago. The car got repaired ok, but it has been cutting out since the belt was replaced. The garage is baffled as to why it is doing this. Therefore as I need a reliable car I've decided to sell the cavalier.

Birmingham, the steering feels quite heavy, I noticed it the other day when parallel parking, may get it looked at in a local garage.

Re: 1990 Vauxhall Cavalier 1.8GL
Hello. I had a Cavalier 1.6l back in 1990 which had no power steering. After that I had cars with power steering. My most recent car was a 2012 Ford Focus.

1990 Vauxhall Cavalier 1.8GL
Hi i've not long bought a 1990 Vauxhall Cavalier from Classic Car Auctions. It has only 12,000 from new and is in showroom condition. The only problem i have found is that the power steering is heavy, i was unsure if it had power steering but it has. What could be the reason behind this?
