Mk3 Cavalier Owners Club | Vauxhall Cavalier Dot Com

In Cavalier Turbo the knob never changed.
If you want the round knob, you can use a lever from a Corsa B i.e.. The same lever with another badge.

Seat backs differ slightly due to the different centre mounting of back rest and seat cushions have another shape - seating frame is totally different. Normally back seat lower parts are foldable and made of two pieces. In A-X models you got one part non-foldable.

Ah, sorry. Then you are right - odometer is moved by a stepper motor.

In the normal odometer there are only some toothgears for the trip counters fed by speedometer cable.

Now it's time for pictures!

It's cold outside so everyone's hiding in their garages. And when it will become warmer they will present their projects.

Drive belt is 21.36 x 1900 mm. Part number 93181719. With this number you will find a lot of sources.

These are manual but you can install the motor nevertheless.

Front indicators are made by ZKW. Left is 90487605, right is 90487606.

Front indicators are still available as original parts. Best head lights for the facelift versions are Carello or Hella. Original part for example: http://www.opel-classicparts.de/scheinwerfer-51018.html My opinion: don't use headlights with angel eyes. Total crap - so much light on the street as yo...

This is correct for early Cavaliers. After MY1991 mirror heating is switched with the button for heated rear window and power is supplied via heated rear window relay.

Sorry, you will need another control knob for the mirrors. One with additional button for folding function:



Wiring is not so much but it has to be done. It is never provided in european cars.

Of course they are heated and electrically. They are also electrically foldable. ;) You need these parts: Outer parts left 90509480 Outer parts right 90509481 Inner parts left 90509488 Inner parts right 90509489 2x motor 90509159 2x mounting parts 90509177 relay 90505796 Mirrors glasses are the same...

Most of the parts I got from Opel Classicparts. But I think I got the last one they had.

If wanted I can look for the parts at the classic parts dealer network.

After two years of searching I finally got the missing right rear door protection moulding with silver insert!

I got them at a small dealer in Germany and bought all he had (3 pcs.). PN me, if you want to have one.

I have to explain some things and start from the beginning: Cavalier has a "dumb" roof motor. Just open/close and nothing else. Easily recognisable by the thick red and brown wire (directly mounted to motor), connection to switch also by thick wires. Switch is everywhere the same grey (and...

Do you want just total closure of the roof from central locking? If yes, then fitting the motor from Vectra B or Astra Mk3 is easier. I can upload pictures of the modifications if you want.

It's the little things, that count.

Digital dash display? If it is the instruments, then I am sure that I have not yet seen anyone on the forum with a set actually fitted and working. (Not even any of our mainland Europe friends where the digital instruments were available). My pal Kai (with the restoration above) got a 2000 with ori...

If I can make an educated guess:
connection of locking cylinder and ignition switch broken. Would explain every problem and occurs without an prior warning.

Does the diplomat have heated seats. Leather seats are always heated. And general differences are as stated: - Turbo has sport seats, all other got comfort seats (valid for leather seats) - inner rail at left front seat is different in A-X models (bulge for catalyst) - rear seat is different from n...

Uh, Cavalier restoration! It's only the question how far you will go. If you want a full(!) restoration you will end up like this: http://vectra16v.com/bilder/resto/aufnahme/100_3015.JPG You'll find lots of places where rust is hiding. On Cavaliers in general mounts of power steering rack and juncti...

Addition to my post: As you have a saloon you can also use a wiper switch from a hatchback model. Then you can use a washer pump from a hatch with two outlet and fit the hose of the headlight washer to the second outlet. Signal for headlight wipers and soleniod (the solenoid is obsolete then) is sou...

Hi Robson, Hi everyone! It only does not have the bottle and the pump. (...) This is not necessary for your conversion. With headlight wipers the car got the bigger bottle but the pump remains the same. -> For the saloon version, of course: - How could I turn on the headlight wipers? They are always...

Is here anybody which owns a Cavalier Colorado? I need a photo of the vin plate for my website.
