I couldn't be without my coin / loose screw draw lol.

Radiator arrived this morning just as I was leaving for work - is that Service, or is that Service..

If I can find some coolant, I might fit it tonight woohoo!!

Was thinking of putting speaker behind the Fuse box. and I dont want the switch on show. When I fitted it to the avensis, I made it so it used the avensis;s speakers. put in the cav it only quietens the volume of the headunit, and I still have to use the nokia speaker. That's the problem you'll hav...

Just fitted a nokia Bluetooth kit. I dont want it on show. (Keep the factory look) So at the moment I have the speaker and controler in the astray and next to the fag lighter socket. so when the lid is closed you can't see it. Any body think of somewhere better? Aye, speaker can go in the footwell ...

Bargain Gary, i do love a bargain :mrgreen: Aye, it was dispatched this morning, so all being well - should have it by Wednesday . Thursday and fitted by Friday night - depending on my workload @ work. Saying that, the coolant system is getting a bloody good flushing before the old radiator comes o...

Very sorry to hear that Anita.

Well, Vectra barrel comes to peices rather easily :) So, thats almost finished :) But, following on from that, I noticed I was going through alot of water / coolant of late. So I did the usual checks to find my rad is fubared... lovely.. So saw this on ebay and figured I can't go wrong for the money...

looks a nice day today, so might go get some gunk and get started

do it

I'm lost as to how they will work? Do they turn on when unlocked with a delay?
Interesting idea though.

its lowered -40mm the now mate, it sits better in the pics cause the boot is loaded up etc. but with it empty the back sits quite high, the -60mm drop is purely the get the front and back down a bit more, ride will be quite crashy though but im use to it cause I found out the springs i had on the b...

Not the only one.

are you 100% sure its the gear box? I had a rumbling noise after changing the discs and pads on the cav turned out to be the catch plate (on the back of the disc) was pushed in too far - see if thats the problem.

Just to throw a cat amongst the feathered ones... a twisted thought... Go and sit in various different cars.. find an interior you are VERY comfortable in and see how easily the interior can be made to fit the cavalier, do the nessacary work, then have them retrimmed and fitted. As your car isn't ex...

Squig wrote:fix it... love your car, regardless of cost. but also on that note if your never selling then a retrim isn't a waste either

And you can always transfer it to the next should the worst ever happen.

why 60mm? why not 40mm? I think with a 60mm drop, first nasty speed bump will rip those mud flaps right off. One of the things that sets this car off for me has always been its "standard" look - which is rather appealing Seriously Craig, I really would think about it before commiting to th...

it doesnt look that bad (mines worse ) just needs a jaz up really.

I can see them... but how on god's green and blue earth do you think that's scruffy?!? Blue hoses, battery bag... et voila, tidy and clean after seeing everyone else's at PVs squig it DOES look scruffy hun :lol: Have to get some elbow grease on it when the weather improves, as usual its pissing dow...

Hi Steve!

Welcome to the forum

Nope, not 8 certainly. Make sure you soak the bolts on the rear shockers with a good penetrating fluid too and have an empty boot - it helps alot! If you pop up one weekend I'll give you a hand. Working the weekend, Arriva doesn't allow time off EVER lol... joking. My other problem is that theres a...

Squig wrote:how and what am I looking for?

Test it with a multimeter, testing the output to see if its higher than normal (should be around 14v if I recall) if it is - overcharging might cause this issue.

HAIRIBO wrote:Well I had to bumpers done for £150. a full respray is at least £1k as all the time it takes to mask off etc.

Thanks for that, might have to look into that.

you shouldn't need 8 hours! 5 at most... but I cheat. :D Bloody lovely looking cav that mate. get some hi-res piccies up in better light! Nope, not 8 certainly.
