Mk3 Cavalier Owners Club | Vauxhall Cavalier Dot Com

Acquired this car 10th October 2006 - bought from a VXon user called Girl Racer after inspecting it with Cav TD GLS from VXon. http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j123/envoycdx/K109XBD/DSCF0058.jpg Relatively happy with the car, although she has needed some work. This thread will act as a WIP as I wor...

Nice write up Dave.

Only other thing I'd add is when I wired mine up, instead of wiring it to the illumination (grey / green) already present I ran a new lead to the headlight switch so that the DID faded with the dash clocks.

So, how do I sign up for membership again then?

How2 - Stop water getting into the car. Now, I have seen this on many Cavaliers in the past, and the most comon fault is that the "elephant trunk" in the bulk head gets blocked and allows the water to back up and flow down into the blower motor and into the heat matrix box. This causes som...

no I don't drive my car.. my friends / family does I'm currently doing lessons but had to stop.

OK, are you legally entitled to drive with disabled tax?
if not, maybe that is why.

So you drive your car with no license?
I'm a bit lost really.

well, for twisting and braking yes. especially since I beleive them to be mostly original pipes.

Aye, well it has to be done. just hopin the brake like doesnt shatter or im fubared.

Well, I plan on relaxing, working on the car for the most part.
Pair of rear brake flexi's to install, and it looks like a bitch of a job to do while not on ramps.
Traveling home Sunday for a meeting on Monday.

How2: Installation of front window switches in the door. For this you will need: * Rear electric window switch (2 if you plan on fitting to both front doors) * Selection of wires, preferably different colours so that you can identify which is what at a later date * Switch covers for the handles * 1 ...

Anyway I look forward to the write up on the fan mode.

I ahd a look at the how 2 on the rear electric windows and its a very detailed write up, spot on mate, good job.

Cheers - all comments welcome.

Repaired the wiper motor, works better than it ever has. Car is in dire need of a wash, and polish - it'll have to wait till I get back from Cleethorpes.. Currently need to re-wire the rear electric windows due to needing the wiring to be shorter - made the loom too long you see so the sill covers a...

it should be on your post on the top right hand corner, next to the quote tab, unless mines is different to your one. A write up on the fan mod would be great mate as I want to do this to my one. Nope, I just have "quote" and "report this post". Must be a mod thing :( Anyhooo, I...

Cavyman_130 wrote:yep get on it dude

was gonna write a few myself but would need to check again as I have forgot some parts

Well, one done.. Once I've completed my fan switch mod, I will write that up too.

PS. How on earth do you edit your own posts on here?? I can't seem to find that function.

Does it idle ok? If not, pull the hose to the EGR valve and try that. (after doing the above - replacing hoses and such).

Please note: This is a rough draft and will be updated / modified in the future. If anything is unclear or you require any assistance, I'm only a PM away. How to fit Rear Leccy windows. Now if you lucky you wont need to alter the wiring loom like I did.... You will need: 2 Rear Motors and mech 2 Rea...

I'll post some stuff up later on how2 wise, money's bit tight regarding membership side of things - just walked out of my job.

and welcome

might be able to get one fro a banger rod.
will keep you posted.

Well, window wiper motor packed up today. common fault, so I have a spare motor to fit already.
The leak is still not fixed as I found out when washing the car.

So needs to be investigated further.

not sure drinking a bottl would be the best plan to be honest..

Well, rear electric windows are installed, requires a little bit of tinkering as there appars o be a broken wire in the loom that prevents the rear drivers side going up, so some investigation work will be carried out to correct that :) Rear door cards where acquired from a Cavalier CD with rear ele...
