Not the only one.

are you 100% sure its the gear box? I had a rumbling noise after changing the discs and pads on the cav turned out to be the catch plate (on the back of the disc) was pushed in too far - see if thats the problem.

Just to throw a cat amongst the feathered ones... a twisted thought... Go and sit in various different cars.. find an interior you are VERY comfortable in and see how easily the interior can be made to fit the cavalier, do the nessacary work, then have them retrimmed and fitted. As your car isn't ex...

And you can always transfer it to the next should the worst ever happen.

why 60mm? why not 40mm? I think with a 60mm drop, first nasty speed bump will rip those mud flaps right off. One of the things that sets this car off for me has always been its "standard" look - which is rather appealing Seriously Craig, I really would think about it before commiting to th...

it doesnt look that bad (mines worse ) just needs a jaz up really.

I can see them... but how on god's green and blue earth do you think that's scruffy?!? Blue hoses, battery bag... et voila, tidy and clean after seeing everyone else's at PVs squig it DOES look scruffy hun :lol: Have to get some elbow grease on it when the weather improves, as usual its pissing dow...

Hi Steve!

Welcome to the forum

Nope, not 8 certainly. Make sure you soak the bolts on the rear shockers with a good penetrating fluid too and have an empty boot - it helps alot! If you pop up one weekend I'll give you a hand. Working the weekend, Arriva doesn't allow time off EVER lol... joking. My other problem is that theres a...

Test it with a multimeter, testing the output to see if its higher than normal (should be around 14v if I recall) if it is - overcharging might cause this issue.

Thanks for that, might have to look into that.

you shouldn't need 8 hours! 5 at most... but I cheat. :D Bloody lovely looking cav that mate. get some hi-res piccies up in better light! Nope, not 8 certainly.

No just saying that I call My cavalier Cavy as its her name.

Sorry, misunderstood your reply. My cav.

Try Harrison's in Monkwearmouth sunderland, he is very reasonable, he has done all my wok on mine. I'll PM the phone number tomorrow if you want? Can do, might get a quote for the whole lot (theres alot of scratches that need sorted, this one is just the most noticable). When you say reasonably are...

Well Sorry to disapoint you two, But "Cavy", is the name of my of my cavalier. My 2 Toyota avensis's where 1st one called "Avy" and my newest one "Toya" So I'll keep calling my cavalier "Cavy" as that is her name. But I never discribe other cavaliers as Cavy'...

test the out put on the alternator. ?

Can we filter the word "Cavy" please and change it to Cav or Cavalier..

I know its just one of my pet hates, but damn its getting right on my nerves at the minute..

As for the Vectra lock, once you've done one they are pretty easy really Lock barrel is probably the easiest bit one you work out what your doing too

As for the engine bay - pics really would help I think Anita.
