Re: What can i do next to my Cav
As for the Vectra lock, once you've done one they are pretty easy really Lock barrel is probably the easiest bit one you work out what your doing too
As for the engine bay - pics really would help I think Anita.

Re: Rolling Road Day
I think the general idea for this is to have an all mk3 Cavalier turn out to promote the forum in Total Vauxhall - get some publicity and hopefully some new members.
Could someone confirm this for me?

Both the touchup kits came with lacquer thankfullyGaz wrote:T-cut an area clean paint a bit of both somewhere out of view see which is the best match
Other than the lacquer youve got everything
Inner doors will be best for concealment I think - will ponder and review

Re: why do you own a cav?
Hmm, good question. I think its because of all the other cars I've owned, the Cavalier has a certain appeal and character that suits my nature, it looks like a car should in my opinion, not boxy and not as curvey as the pie ladie in number 4 round square street. Bought my first cav for £50 - little ...

It's either piddling it down or so hot the G3 is reduced to powder in seconds. I have a p...

Re: expleetive deleted SCUM!!!
Its an easy fix if your prepared to put the graft in you need to get the colour into the scratch but not to the surface, use a tiny art brush give it time to flash off (an hour should be enough) then fill it with lacquer to just above the surface. dont overdo it as you'll only have to take it off G...

Re: What can i do next to my Cav
Well, you could go the HIDS route, but aye they are expensive. However if your lights are dull I found when I replaced my headlights with new lamps (full units cost me about £22 each) with the halfords ultra bright bulbs (12.99 buy one get one free) and it transformed the drive at nice, looks better...
