These are special 12-V-LEDs where any resistors are inside the LED.

Re: Connector indetification
I think it's a connector for measuring purposes like ignition timing.

The single grey-green is for the bonnet light. Connection to ground is made via a short brown cable which is screwed to the bonnet near the light.

Re: 1994 SRi 16v saved from scrap!
To avoid rust holes you have to remove the battery tray. There will be lots of rust underneath. And if you're a lucky guy you can see this rust also from the underside of the wheelhouse.
Refix it with some set/rivet nuts and screws.

The VIN plate on UK built cars do not contain an On Board Computer number coding. Okay, that is correct. I missed that.

For the side skirts you will also have to drill holes into the sills and install set rivets for the clips.

Re: Cavalier V6 alternator cooling fan
There is no special thermo switch for the generator fan. There is only a special thermo switch at the radiator with brown and brown-yellow wires which triggers the second cooling stage including the generator fan.

Side repeaters were also fitted as standard at Vectras for the Netherlands.

Re: Vauxhall Original Radios - Discussion Thread.
Radio types depend on the country. In Germany you got the choice of Grundig M101/SC303, Blaupunkt SC202/CD300 or Philips SC804 (with or without CD changer control). Except of the M101 they were used throughout the whole time of sale. My Vectra A from the Netherlands was equipped with DC6xx (don't re...

Re: LS 1.8i Traction Control Upgrades
For installation of Vectra B ABS be aware that they used 4 channel ABS with electronic brake distribution. In Cavalier/Calibra only 3 way ABS is installed. That means that just one brake line goes to the rear wheel brakes and you have pressure valves at the rear brakes. With 4 channel system no valv...

These are so called "design wheels". Steel wheels with spokes where you can fit covers which looks like alloy wheels.

Re: Photobucket is back!
If someone is able to use an FTP program then he can also do this with webhosting. You also need no website as frontend, just the webspace for saving the files. Not more differences between this and photobucket or any other provider for filehosting.

This is the result of a wet isolating mat at the outside of the bulkhead. The mat is not really necessary and for rust reasons it's better to rip it off.

Re: Photobucket is back!
Why not using normal webspace? Trustworthy provider 4 € the month for 50 GB. No ads, no idiots, no problems.
I use my webspace for backups of my PC as well.
Edit: for 20 € month you'll get unlimited webspace and a lot of different other stuff for really webhosting.
