Mk3 Cavalier Owners Club | Vauxhall Cavalier Dot Com

I picked up a several large boxes full of cavalier parts. Most are switches, interior / exterior trim panels,handles and some exterior trim, grills etc. I need to collect and will display in the coming period... if anyone needs anything - I’ll list the items. Update on rebuild ... Cavalier turbo gon...

Welcome mate Sorry to hear about your illness - hope all is well now. Congrats on the car. Great car in the day, I had one (okay a few...) Parts are still available but you’ll have to search for them, often high and low. For cav turbo it’s even harder. I’m restoring my cav turbo... Hope to see some ...

I was hoping to get the car back on the road, but realistically don’t see happening this part of the year. Here’s a quick commercial update... Shell has returned from the chemical dippers. Well it’s still one piece, but some repairs are required. Engine wise, completely stripped and some specialists...

Check this ... it’s untested.

eBay item no 222897755687 & 140958742167

Happy birthday buddy

Put the kettle on, the cavaliers are all coming ...

Very nice - great vid!!

Thank you - I’ve passed on the comments and others. Hopefully will get some of these addressed. Quick update... F28 Gear box - opened up and running gear is pretty good condition. C20LET Engine - stripped and in a million pieces. Currently being chemical cleaned. Locked Transfer box... shell cleaned...

Great looking motor - looks superb in white.

Watching the tread.

Any thoughts or suggestions...?

Evening all. I remember reading somewhere a list of the design problems with the cavalier. For example the sunroof drainage and boot panel trapping water. Does anyone a have a list or a link so can make further checks. It’s was comprehensive list of exterior and interior.... My intention is to look ...

Good result - Now you can relax.

Question is : what is a classification of a “dealer / trader”? Do you run a business, registered / company house, have dealer insurance, business receipt,... Also what differentiates dealer / private seller? Many 1000’s of people sell their cars using autotrader / eBay etc ... dealer cars are marked...

Trust me mate, it’s hard and I work away.

Dare I say it, I should have kept one of the gsi’s ... for parts.

Hopefully I will get some response in a few days from one of my contacts - fingers crossed.

I may have found some, although won’t know for a comple of days for sure.

If you got a template, try getting them 3D printed.... if you know someone

I did check locally, but one offs are toooo expensive, cheaper buying originals (but no longer available)

I already know buddy...

I got some wipers motors but not the wiper/stoppers ....

I’m also looking for these bits and They do pop up from time to time ...

Yes ... in fact two, a replacement for my car and a spare - very hard to get.

Plus cavalier gsi and standard air bag steering wheels.

They all have some wear but perfectly useable

And lots of fuel display, including German ones!

I suggest to get the car on the lift and check the underneath of the car, sills and critical areas. I’ll be surprised if there’s nothing hiding behind the body kit panels - generally it’s area where water gets trapped. However saying that you’re in hot area of the world so might be lucky. What’s the...

Makes big difference and also items have gone to good causes...

Still have lots to check thru and organise the parts ... lucky most are boxed original parts.

I’ve got about 3-4 very large boxes full of trim and fittings / mixture of steering wheels... including some original turbo parts.

Spent the weekend with a major clear out of the garage... had the bigger items collected with booking.

Several visits to the charity shop and recycle depot, I can see the other side of the garage... hurray!!

Now I have better access to my boxed parts.

Hi and welcome. Nice car... needs some tlc.. I see it’s got the original exhaust Check the car all round, including interior, engine/boot... make a list as a starting point. I’m restoring my cavalier turbo - see my story. I’ve been collected lots of parts overs the years and some that I had from my ...

I think it is easier when you write down, what you want. New transmission i.e. or something like that.

Good point - I’ll send out a list as I work around the car.

Quick update .. I will have to check with the uk firms on the door switches, I guess they won’t be Original but worth enquirying for my own peace of mind. I managed to source several original 6 speed gear knobs and a complete lever & emblems. Also sourced another set of original turbo rear light...

Welcome and hello

Lots of knowledgeable people here on the site.

I’ve also got a cavalier turbo and fixing her up at the moment.... you can follow the story (and others) and are updated regularly - fun times!

Did you drill out the steering gear mounts? If not, do so. Everytime lots of corrosion inside. I’ll have to check, but most parts will be replaced. I’m looking to get some new window and center window console switches. The existing ones work fine, but I want new all round as old have marks or scrat...
