Mk3 Cavalier Owners Club | Vauxhall Cavalier Dot Com

Aye, it's a bit of a stinger, but it's done now.
Onto the Cav

Excellent.

It's one of those things, but yeah at the time of inspection it was fine. Cars are meant to be used at the end of the day.
Glad you're relieved its back and hopefully the rental can go back ASAP if it hasn't already.

All good, though in fairness you've been nursing that clutch for a good number of years now, so it's all swings and roundabouts there. Thing is, a cosmetically good example and a mechanically good example are probably not going to be the same vehicle. I did some ebay hunting the other night and yes ...

You're right, it is anti-social these days.

Excellent stuff. Look forward to seeing the progress.

Aye, It's a weird one, only time I see Vectra B's now is at shows, and the odd one here and there, Vectra C's have gone much the same way. Nipping to the scrap yard is harder and harder these days I have 3 in short distance, but usually end up going to the likes of UPullIt (180 mile round trip, so h...

Hope that pass comes through on Monday without any niggles. Be like a new car soon the Vectra
But yeah it's at an age now where things are gonna fail / wear out. Hopefully a few years trouble free now since its had alot done recently.

They are all much of a muchness, and I am finding the AA very poor and contracting out alot at the minute speaking to different people who've called them out recently. Last one was about a month ago, broke down on the a19, technician came out, looked then drove off no recovery sent, had to limp the ...

Same old just cav less these days Yourself?

Kool, hopefully if they are salvagable you can recoup some of the costs flogging them on Rob - or tarting up for spares (though I doubt you'll need to do them again in the Vectras life time?

Fingers crossed the MOT is sorted and costs don't ramp up too much with the car hire.

Nicely done - Progressing very nicely with that

Nice one! something is better than nothing.

Nightbreakers are what I put in the Yaris (at 16quid a pair, they should be good!)

Ah, my bad. Main lights not on the cards too then?
But yeah, some draw through those piddly wires for side lights :/

Nice list there. Alot of that is more than doable with your capable hands in the run up to mot prep too. Regardless of which headlight setup you go with Rob, relaying the lights so they have a better power feed will pay dividends in turns out light output so thats a must :) Look forward to seeing so...

Nice to see some progress on this Rob. shout up if you need parts alright?

I bought a small car in 2016 when the Cavalier was being refurbed. The wife went ballistic and forced me to sell it. I daren't even consider another car, as I may end up in next week's obituaries. Amazingly I had an almost identical offer from Troy. Virtually giving me a Swift, but needs an MOT and...

Damn that is rough. Hope something comes up soon.

Damn! those bolts are looking past it - though they should come out with some heat on the them and maybe the needler attachment on the airgun to break up any thread corrosion.

Good luck sourcing the parts.

That isn't a bad failure list in the long run really considering the age of it.
As for tyres, consumables, though maybe worth instating a quarterly check minimum on these things.
reminds me, need to check the oil on the Yaris when the weather lets up.

Aye, it'll be worth it in the end. But yeah, lighter the better for moving of that lump!

Happy days, Hopefully it's as a simple as dropping it on its wheels and letting it settle.

Sounds like the clamp is pulling the bushing out of shape, hopefully the rubber grease prevents that! As for the blue on black, it probably works if more bits were painted to offset the one piece that said its a matter of taste and I tend to think red/ black, or a darker shade of blue. Looks like it...

Sadly, location can be prohibitive. Its an employers market at the moment sadly. Re: being too old, why would you say that? Granted hours probably won't be great either, that said only other option is to relocation and in this climate, thats likely going to sting. What about self employment?
