Loving the pictures!!

Absolutely gutted i missed it!! Was a lovely day for a drive too. Ended up writing the blurb for the sale of the V6

:cry Soooo, time has come to put the car up for sale.....though i see it more like im giving someone else the opportunity to have the ol' girl, and give it that little extra tlc it needs. Secretly, if theres little or no interest then i'll happily hold on to it, stick it away for the remainder of th...

Think i'll come on down....car will most probably be for sale by then so it'll be good to go for a drive! In the diary!

That's good to know, thank you. The light flickers on only when its at idle and up to fully working temp. Assumed it was connected to old/worn part(s) but thought id put it on here anyway.

:santa Happy new (bit late I know) year to all fellow Griffin lovers! :raindeer Hope everyones had a good festive season! And with that, its over, and for most of us, back to work. For me, that means getting a new van. Something that I wouldn't have normally announced on here, but, it all ties in......

Guess where??? http://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p367/justslater002/20161104_151753_zps2yiifozd.jpg http://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p367/justslater002/20161104_151920_zpshot8muzy.jpg http://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p367/justslater002/20161104_151832_zpslzlxif1f.jpg http://i345.photobucket.com...

Evening people! I've got 4x Cav Turbo wheels for sale. Brought them ages ago and had thought about putting them on my Irmisher cav (ive since come to my senses) Comes with tyres but they're no good. Wheels are in ok condition. Need a good scrub. Been sitting behind the shed for a good year or so. Pi...

Its a GSI grill indeed. Got it some years ago....i may stick an original one back on, but not sure yet. It came from good ol' ebay

Thanks for the info/pointers people, it's greatly appreciated and nice to know it's niggles shouldn't be anything major! Between work, the astra and this, I've not enough hours in a day! Will get to it asap and post some pics soo( and a vid as mentioned before )

Hi, regarding the water ingress. The dripping part sounds like what's known as the "elephant trunk" - a drain from the scuttle panel. There's a how2 here http://www.vauxhallcavalier.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=8345 If you search this site for elephant trunk you'll find a lot more d...

Point 1 could well be rotten rubber. Point 2 is almost certainly ignition components: leads, plugs, coil pack. I have a brand new Bosch OEM V6 coil pack up for grabs if you're interested? As mentioned above, points 3 and 4 are the symptom of a blocked 'elephant trunk' drainage hose. A quick and eas...

Welcome, Dan! Great to see what is quite a famous car being afforded a new lease of life. Looking forward to project progress reports. Don't hesitate to holler if you're in need of advice etc. Dan, did this once belong to Barry Hood, I have seen this a few times back in the day, it was a really nic...

Hello People! Hope you all had a good weekend!!! Here's a little update: So Saturday didn't go quite how I would have liked. First of all, i got back to Norwich much later than planned, which meant there was no time to 'tinker' with the bus. Still, there was time I thought to fire her up and go for ...

Started life as a GLS V6 , well done :D Ahhh, nice one. I could have sworn Barry (previous owner) told me it was a CDX! I may be wrong....but ive always been under the impression it was a GLS with the CDX trim added....ill do some digging as soon as i can find the v5 and all the old service history...

I'll be back in Norwich at the weekend, so will be hoping to take it for a run.May even do a little video and post it on my YouTube page

So not too bad then. :lol: To be fair most of those are more what I would call niggles than serious problems. Some of them sound very familiar actually. I had the same battery and side repeater failures on my V6 a few months ago. Started life as a GLS V6 , well done :D [ Image ] That why i would ha...

Having had a failure list as long as my inside right let ( im 6ft 4) it was time to spend some money on it and see if we could get a nice shiny MOT back on it. What would have been nice is to have worked on it myself at home, but it wasn't possible as i'm 220 miles away! So it was left to some dear ...

I'll need plenty of advise for sure!! If i keep it that is....anyone want a LET GTE lol

Hello and welcome. Awesome looking V6 you have there. Glad to hear it's back on the road. Did it need any work for the MOT? Presuming the engine is original, it's either a GLS or an original "V6" trim model with lots of goodies added on. Am I right? The lack of air-con and the grey carpet...

Looking very nice after a 10 year lay-up. Weaknesses will be with rubber components. Fuel, brake and coolant hoses, and of course any camshaft and alternator drive belts. GSi's are very sought after, so as long as underbody corrosion isn't too severe, it is always worth keeping. All bar coolant hos...

Seems i can't attach any pics??? I know im new to all this but.....

]This is my Cavalier V6 saloon, complete with full (and rare so i'm lead to believe) Irmisher kit, and after 10 years in isolation, it was about time i got the old girl MOT'd and back on the road. Problem is, i still don't know what to do with it. In an ideal world, i'd love to do right by it and gi...
