Re: My 46k 2.0 LS Cavalier

I did want to keep the original tape deck in this cav, but unfortunately its dead. So until I can turn up another one ( can anyone help please?) i'm going to refit my old Kenwood cd player that I actualy hadn't fitted in my last Cavalier back in about 2001 so its still old school. As the wires are a...

Re: Rust proofing

There are very mixed views on this topic. Some say it's great others say it traps moisture in and makes things worse. Others may disagree but I sware by Bilt-hamber products. Dynax S50 is an excellent wax and other products like electrox and hydrate 80 I find extremely useful. In the end the best w...

Rust proofing

Hi, I want to pump my cavalier full of wax, I was wondering if anybody has any tips where I should inject it, what brand is the best etc. is there any easy way into the sills and other box sections without drilling? Many thanks for any advice given.

Re: Newbie saying hello

Agreed - only had Vauxhalls since 1995. But how long this will last I don't know. They don't make Vauxhalls as good or with character like they used to. The only car that is alleged not to rust is the Vectra-C. And the electronics makes anything built after 2004 too much of a hassle to fix. There a...

Re: Newbie saying hello

Enjoying it immensely thankyou, and thankyou all for the warm welcome. Last year I did buy another vauxhall, a 3.0 v6 tdi vectra but the auto box failed straight away so moved it on. My everyday run around is a 2008 Astra van with rear seat conversion that I've had for 5 years,and this has allready ...

Re: My 46k 2.0 LS Cavalier

Regarding clutch judder - You can check the cable adjustment to see if it is correct. Measure the distance from the top of the pedal to the steering wheel rim. Measure distance with pedal pressed. Measure distance with pedal released. Deduct the smaller length from the longer one. A spot on setting...

Re: My 46k 2.0 LS Cavalier

That's a pity, there's no slip so will probably live with it for a while till I feel better off. I can't believe how the good this is on fuel for a 2.0 I reckon I was getting at least mid 30's on the 100 odd miles back home. The volvo next to it has the same size engine but struggles to do better th...

Re: Newbie saying hello

I'll try and work out how to do it and put a thread up in the projects section, allthougth amazing for its age, it does need a few little jobs doing. I was thinking of doing it up as I allways wanted to do to my old ones when I was a teenager but couldn't afford to, I.e alloys etc however I'm leanin...

Newbie saying hello

Hi,I'm from Hereford and I've just picked myself up another cavalier after a long time without one. In 1999 I bought a white g reg 1600 that got written off a few weeks later in a knock for knock. Then in 2001 I purchased a h reg grey one, again a 1600 that I sold a year later to fund a purchase of ...
