All I can say is - it may be the former.

What an idyllic way to pass the time :mrgreen: Coincidently this was coming out of my next street. https://i.postimg.cc/mrTVgv8L/1946-Fordson-crop.png 1946 Fordson. Apparently ford made vans and trucks under the tractor brand name early on. It's not one of the better pics unfortunately. The dashcam ...

I've seen this tidy mercedes locally for months but was never in the right bit of the car park.



Saw this '98 toyota on sunday.

It polished up well in the ad.
It's a pity it was withdrawn, it would have been interesting to see what it fetched.

Would using redex in the tank instead of the intake be a gentler option for your weak point, the flywheel?

I don't know if it's relevant because I don't know the age of the donor engine or loom, or anything about electronics for that matter :lol: The x20xev's for cavaliers required a camshaft sensor modification consisting of a sensor with a differently shaped plug and trailing wires for soldering to the...

I had the same problem. I bought the three mounts but only really needed the rear one for the fix. Because you report that the engine rocks back and forth, it has to be the rear mount. I'd agree it's that one. Congratulations for when your car becomes a historical vehicle exempt from Glasgow's dread...

blimey, someone's had their weetabix

What a good write-up, I haven't seen this level of cav work for ages

It's been a while but my dashcam's playing up, new one ordered :D . I don't know what it is but I do know it's owner couldn't have been happy. This was 12.30pm... https://i.postimg.cc/Y9q2W6WH/2seat-dont-know-what2.png Five hours later, still there.... https://i.postimg.cc/RFsSQW7n/2seat-dont-know-w...

Your updates are always worth waiting for James :thumb Congratulations on coping with so many big changes. Your new home looks like lovely place to live and bring up William :) Kudos on unplugging the injectors, I'd have phoned AA and got towed to Troy :lol:. The coach fare was a bargain, do you thi...

Here's the pic with recommended 2l rear springs and lowered front springs https://i.postimg.cc/MT0T74cp/20180122-154252.jpg And the lower, tapered rear springs for 1.8's and below https://i.postimg.cc/cJ76Y1kQ/tapered-rear-springs.jpg It's hard to see because of the angles but there is a slightly no...

Just work through the layers methodicallly. And keep all off-cuts for reference / patterns. People have told me many times... Do a lot of practice with scrap metal, until you reach a standard you are happy with. Then you can start attacking the car. Just take your time - rushing will turn it into a...

great idea!
You're a good improv fabricator, what made you think of custom this time?

Congrats on the pass, image is missing though :( Thanks. I don't know why the invoice image went missing. I clicked on the box and it took me to a 404 page with a proceed button, when i used that my image gallery came up including the pic. It looks like somehow the link's been changed :scratch http...

I hope so. It owes me many months of trouble free motoring now

Panic over! My renewal premium went down, It's now sub £150, phew! That's with 12 years+ NCD protected, £50 compulsory and no voluntary excess. I'm happy enough with that given the excellent service the company provided when I was rear-ended. ---------------------------------------------------------...

Hello and welcome
Your car looks really good, so does the pretty location

Hello & welcome

Hi & welcome.
Nice find, low mileage and cheap!

Another 'hens teeth' part that seems to be exclusive to cavalier/vectra A.

I've got one left that needs to be used now thanks to a garage breaking one

Part nos are;

VX 90269660 as Robsey says.

Opel 2345815

And aftermarket Topran 205805, available at autodoc and other sites.

Which side are you after? Both headlight casings on the diplomat, the little lug below the indicators are broken, that's usually the case with 2nd hand ones, so really any side as I am trying to make up a good set for that, I also just got a full spare light N/S for the LS, on that one the lug is s...

Which side are you after?

Late to the party again lol. Re the heater panel, definitely original. I've tried sandpapering white/ amber/yellow/blue led's to diffuse them but they're still too damn bright, blue distorts colour too much and is dim and undefined. i came across this, totally unrelated to my search (how does that h...

Thanks guys, you've confirmed my thoughts - I bought the wrong springs, now I've got the hassle of returning them :roll: I found an older pic of my springs when the rear inner arch collapsed and they're tapered-I'm almost embarrassed to post this pic, both your cars look so pretty underneath :mrgree...

Interesting. I've never had this problem yet but no doubt it'll come up. we're at the stage where most fitters are younger than the car ! matt That time has come. I need to replace the rear springs but after days of looking i'm none the wiser. I've been looking at KYB as replacements but the listin...
