Re: Very nice!

This is a MY1995 Sport in Nautilus Blue.
Sport is the further development of Sportive. Additions in MY95 where the tinted rear lights, rear spoiler and side sill covers. These alloys were introduced with MY94.5 and also used at V6 models.

Re: Reverse light switch auto to manual conversion

My thoughts for auto to manual conversion of electrics. There are two main differences if automatic transmission will be changed to manual - starter circuit and reverse switch. Changes are as simple as that and it can also be undone easy: locate X46 in engine bay. It's the 7-pole connector at the AT...

Calibra Special Edition or Sportive

Anybody here driving some of the Calibras called "Special Edition" or "Sportive"? These are two editions fitted with C20NE and a special inner trim for the seats called "Rain". I look for further information for my website.

Re: Headlight range switch for Cavalier V6

No, that isn't that simple. :D They look the same, but they aren't. Differences are inside. They have different values of resistors inside. And EPC is not telling which code is for which car or equipment.

I think I will have a look in parts microfiche but I think, that will also not help. :?

The best solution for posting pictures is own webspace instead of such imageshack/photobucket crap. Reliable own webspace with about 50 GB costs approx. 5 €/month (in Germany).

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

Re: Cavalier restoration

Did you drill out the steering gear mounts? If not, do so. Everytime lots of corrosion inside. I’ve seen there are a few 3rd party makes, but does anyone know who made these officially for gm / Vauxhall - hence the varied price difference. They were made by Kostal. These new parts are made in China...

Re: Cavalier restoration

Just until model year 1995. Then Calibra got the new gear knob which is also used in Vectra B, Astra and Corsa. But don't ask me why it was not changed in Cavalier.
