Thanks envoy. Is sillicone hoses ok for replacing all these or should I try and find rubber hoses. If sillicone is good and can be used without problems I'll go with 5mm so it's tight. Was thinking of using zip ties to give extra support.

im looking for some engine hose to replace all my vacuum hoses on the cav (c18nz block) as they old and cracking and breaking. they all look the same size really. looking for the following hose from throttle body to map sensor hose from egr valve to throttle body hose from valve cover to throttle bo...

I had wet floor on passenger side when I got me cav, I got told or asked if the elephant trunk that's on the bulkhead was clogged. I didn't know such a thing was there so I got to looking and found it. and it was clogged with leaves and mud. took a bit to get it cleaned out but since then never had ...

I got a set of these, great things for when its raining like tonight. how they fit is they go into the rubber where your window glass sits. mine came with metal clips that you push up into the groves too and they hold the deflectors tight. 2 each side. I got a set of 4 off the missis for Christmas b...

On my mot I had advisories for all break lines and fuel lines slightly corroded. Just wanted to know if anyone has had this work done on a hatch back and what was the cost? They was mentioned when my hub bearing was done so I'm guessing they will need doing before next MOT.

Had it done yesterday. Was the rear o/s they called late and said could I bring it in. They took ages so guessing something was fooked. The garage cleaned out both rear break drums too cos they was sticking the odd time and rubbing. It cost 117 for the hub replacement. That's the price it was everyw...

aggghhhhh on the past 3 MOTs they all said play in the rear passanger wheel bearing so I thought nothing of it but been driving about a lot and wile in traffic noticed high squealing when windows down but just thought ahh someone needs to get there brakes sorted and went about my drive.. sat night I...

Thanks for that mate

Your problem sounds like the crank/camshaft sensor failing

How many sensors on the c18nz. I want my timing sensors changed so I'm off to the garage tomor cos I'm off this week. I've iver got a cam sensor or crankshaft sensor or both but I don't know. Been checkin the engine out top to bottom and I can only see one wire from the cam area. If it's just one gr...

my cav has been running fine since I got it back from garage and idle was best its ever been but lumpy still without car shaking so result! she still ran rich and had hard starting for couple minutes from hot and the garage said they all do it cos vapour lock but I know it never use to do it when I ...

im gonna get a bosch coolant temp sensor. I still have surges when started from hot. I bought a cheap crap one so I guess ill get a proper one for next week. sure mine is over fueling too. shes still running good since rebuild

sorry not replied I've just not had time to get on here to be honest. thanks for the replies a guy on here private messaged me called atom is he cosha? hes a newbie and has only posted 1 post and that was to me? he says he has what I'm looking for. I've found some skirts and boot spoiler on the web ...

do you think he would be interested in getting rid? don't really know a lot of people on here and not sure how to talk to envoycdx. think he/she has a avatar with a penguin on a dashboard

I had black rear lights and looking at pictures from then and now with my smoked gsi lights its no contest the smoked gsi lights win all day long

there is 2 types mate. one type has a lip at the bottom that hug/go under the head lamps and they are pre facelift ones. the facelift ones just rest on the headlamps. the pre facelift ones fit facelift headlamps but not 100% but still look cool as fook. ive got a set of genuine vauxhall pre facelift...

im wanting to fit side skirts on the cav now the engine has basically been rebuilt and is running great. I cant find these things anywhere. been looking all over the web but nothing yet. ive seen a lip spoiler on ebay but its metal and want the rubber lip spoiler (im sure ive seen it in rubber) don'...

mine is still slightly lumpy but not shaking anymore. it use to shake all the time especially when stopping it would bog down and go bop a lot. its very strange stopping and nothing happening, I love it. always new it wasn't suppost to be rough idle n shake. every garage said the same that they all ...

yeah its about 92c and thanks mate. its strange to drive it with no shaking or anything. everyone I went to with the shaking said oh it will do that its a 8valve.. they was all talking shit. its not shaking hardly at all. its great. the cost to get the shaking gone and the hot start problem is worth...

it probably hasn't been running right for a long time. my temp as long as I can remember has always stayed at just above 90c unless im in traffic for ages then it goes to 100c then fan kicks in but if I drive wile its at 100c it will cool to just above 90c. now its back it hangs about at 95-97c just...

update. I went to pick up my car today and what a difference! the engine has no misfire and the torque of the engine is a big difference. when I pull up to lights or anywhere there is nothing. no shaking or misfire. its strange as I can notice everything as the astra I had for all the time its been ...

I had that random none start problem just like you mentioned in your first post. never did find out what it was. only ever did it 2-3 times in the 5 years ive owned it. mite of been that on my cav as ive got the same engine. I randomly changed that sensor with others so mite of been it. ive had prob...

got a update today had a call from the garage today and its not good, the guy said my bores are badly glazed and its got blow by. hes taking pictures for me to see. he said to pop to look at the engine but I said im at work. the oil and piston rings are letting oil past and burning it that way. I sa...

yes I know what you mean, like today he was showing a little to much interest. I had a guy the other day walk into my sisters garden with a can of beer and stinking of weed wile we was all there and say that's a nice cav and walk upto it and look into the windows n look at the wheels n stuff and arc...

lol that's what my missis said. its not often people appreciate a cavalier mk3 most people just pull them down. I hate that so when someone likes mine its a good feeling but today wasn't. like you said it was strange.
