Mk3 Cavalier Owners Club | Vauxhall Cavalier Dot Com

Sorry guys, but as we've got heavy snow here, I won't be meeting up with you all today

I'd love a Royale, or a Carlton...............or another Mk2 Cav!

I've checked all of the above, and everything seems fine. I'm sure it's the exhaust; I know it has the saloon version instead of the hatchback one; was there also a difference between the manual and the automatic??? I don't really want to replace the whole system, as it's only a few months old

Not Squeezed a V8 under the bonnet have you? lol

LOL no mate, it's still got the orginal C18NZ under the bonnet..........sadly!

I haven't fitted any yet!

Checked everything thats been suggested, and still I get that noise whilst turning right

Thanks for all your help & advice guys; will have a look later, and let you know how I get on.

Thanks mate; will have a look tomorrow

Will have another look tomorrow; didn't have much time today.

I don't think it's wheel bearings; it's sounds like the wheel is catching on the wheel-arch liner. Really, really daft question, but my hatchback seems to have been fitted with a saloon exhaust system; I wondered if that could have anything to do with it?

I've been on a 200 mile round trip to see my family today, and although my Cav ran really well, whilst turning right at speed (ie on the A27 roundabouts), there was a stange 'scrapping' noise :? I pulled over, but couldn't see anything amiss; anyone any ideas what it could be? It only happens whilst...

It looks really good mate

Great news mate Now get a tracker fitted!

It wouldn't been as bad if I could understand this alarm system; it seems to have a mind of it's own! I've never had any luck with car alarms over the years
Thx for your help guys; will have a look and see if I can kill the fudgery

Vauxhall Mk3 owners club, and the Vauxhall owners club on facebook are good

Gutted for you mate; hope the police catch the thieving bastards! Post your photo's on facebook, and get people to 'share' them................it might help track her down.

Cheers mate!

The kye-fob has 'DSA' on it.

I need to find out how to disconnect the fudgery......please help!!!

I had already thought of doing just that, but didn't want to get this bloke into trouble for spending so much time on such a low value item.

Having had many years of dealing with various Vauxhall dealerships across the south, and knowing how snobby/unhelpful they can be with customer service in the parts/servicing department (esp. perrys in kent), I've been gobsmacked at the fantastic level of customer service at 'Skurrays' (www.skurrays...

Thank you. I'm still going to clean the breather pipes, well, the lower one at least (the top one was split, and 'repaired' with electrical tape; have now ordered a new one)

I think there comes a point when over-all condition of a car comes before trim-level..........and also, the more basic a car, the less to go wrong, and the easier, and cheaper, it is to repair.

Don't tell me you don't remember/ never heard of Onslow from 'Keeping up appearances'? Bloody kids today, don't know they're bloody born! LOL
