Mk3 Cavalier Owners Club | Vauxhall Cavalier Dot Com

So this is my Cav its a 1.8 GLS I've had it since 2001 and its only done 86k, still in daily use. I'd be lost without it !!!

Just an update with my braking problem, got the fulid changed which helped a bit , the guy who pressure bled them said that my problem laid with the self adjusters ! i checked them and found the adjusters weren't working, after a clean up, everythings working as it should and the brakes working good...

Many thanks guys! I think i may have used to much sealant, and there was one or two spects left from the old gasket that i couldn't remove but you couldn't feel them, i will get a vauxhall one tomorrow. Thanks again!

What a Great site this is!

Thanks for the info guys...!

hi all, can fitting GSI/SRi wishbones to a normal 1.8 gls improve handleing or is there no differance/or not fit at all? also I need to know what shocks to use, as mine is lowered but using standard shocks and is a bit bouncy, would SRI shocks do or will they fit ? is there a cheaper option?
