Any more news from the last few days mate? Sorry, Ive had to go back to work and pay the bills. Its hard for me to see him, I dont want to go in the hospital in my work gear stinking of diesel and covered in engine muck but Im ringing up to see how he is as often as I can, although I did sneak in f...

Any more news from the last few days mate?

I've been watching this thread keeping an eye out for updates

The alarm on my cav just flashes the indicators and makes no noise usually. Its more considerate to the neighbours than i am :lol: Every time the wind picks up a bit the cover comes off my cortina. It ended up with so much string over the top in every possible direction i thought it would never come...

As some of you may recall a few months back i won this.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160660843277 Then the following day i ended up with this ..... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280754927901 I put the Astra one back on ebay with a better listing, and ended up with this..... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320...

My little girl was born a few months ago, she stopped breathing on her way out and spent her first few hours in icu, They were really worrying and scary hours! The good news is your little lad seems to be getting better and better. I'm really pleased for you and your other half mate. Hopefully you'l...

depends where you take the cat, for ours at work we get about 60-70 quid upwards

Well the guy who told me knows his vauxhalls, he's had a astra gsi for as long as i can remember

I nearly done that today, but by the time i finished putting my throttle body back on it was cold and dark

Can i just take the pipes off and clamp some bolts in the end?

And the day before that i usually spend hours polishing waxing and hoovering before heading there
This year it rained all day Still, a wet field full of rear wheel drives old fords is always going to be fun to me

Stunning! That looks really clean and really good in white

I've only just noticed the reply to this :lol: Sounds the same as the standard back box, with a nice little rumble under load. Not noisy at all and cant really tell its there unless your looking at it. But the reason i wanted it was for show not noise, the cavalier is staying sensible for now. I'm g...

I've only just discovered that my throttle body is apparently water cooled. I've also been told that there known to be troublesome, and a lot of people just bypass it altogether. After finding water in the top of mine earlier I think I should consider doing the same. Have any of you guys done this? ...

Well, changed it today. Bloody new one is faulty. The wouldnt start with it fitted and when i tried to drive it the revs stuck at 2000. Obviously thats going back. Had to clean the old one in the end had the complete throttle body off and everything. Bloody threads stripped :( cant say i wasnt warne...

wicked, cheers guys

This would keep the engine running when the key is removed.

Well that was gonna be my intelligent answer
Make sure its a switched live
Doesnt sound as clever now

I've just bought a new idle control valve for my 2.0 Ecotec. Is there a certain procedure to follow when replacing it? I work in a ford spares, with the ford valves you need to leave the battery disconnected for half hour, change the valve then go for a 10 mile drive so the ECU recognises youve chan...

I've been meaning to buy it for a few weeks, I can still remember the truly tragic weekend. Even watching tribute videos on youtube is still moving no matter how manly you feel you are. He was a really talented driver and extremely passionate about racing, he never has been and probably never will b...

I had a far from standard RS turbo a couple of years ago and it was amazingly quick, a 406 coupe kept up with me suprisingly well!

I remember that car, not from 2001 though, found that copy in a mates garage a few years ago, its probably better now its broken
I'm sure it was great 10 years ago and you've got to admire the work thats gone into it but i hate big ugly bodykits.

I was looking at these when i bought the cav, lovely cars, nice choice
