Mk3 Cavalier Owners Club | Vauxhall Cavalier Dot Com

blinkin' 'eck! We REALLY are an international community aren't we! :lol: So... Lada... why? ;) :lol: I'm a good fan of the old Lada 90's myself :) good honest simple cars. To me, they are the Cavalier of modernising Russia. Somethin goes wrong, they can be fixed with a spanner :D Of course, trying ...

Sure am buddy Came here in 99, been living here since. But ye, i was born in the land of the vodka Squiggo

This is just unbelievably annoying and frustrating :shock: :( :evil: :wall I really want to get my hands on more Cavaliers, and when i have a few spare quid, there are none about. When i'm nearly skint, 1 comes up for sale just down the road :shock: How much of a pee-take is that? lol. 3 times this ...

Ulyanovsk, Russia

wow, brilliant job on that one, Brian Love them in white, and you seem to have made a firecracker of a job modding it up

cool. well good luck with it, you'll get there eventually.

what they do is think they own the whole bloody roads and pavement and the young whipper snappers should slow down to a more decent speed say 2mph. i really wish i was in death race 2000 sometimes, wheeeeeeee 50 points for old biddy :lol: Wouldnt be worth it Foxy ;) I wouldnt like to get my Cav mes...

Ye, tell me about it. I've had to perform emergency stops and swerves and all because of some old man or woman just didnt bother to stop before crossing. Mostly in a damn supermarket car park. Its like they actually aim to walk into my car, then think its my fault when i slowed down :evil: As for on...

Hi again mate. Regarding the idle valve, from what i gather from my haynes manual, as on my 1.8l 8V auto, the GM Multec ECU controls the idle speed and other variables, so its not able to be adjusted manually. Mine sometimes plays up a bit when its cold, i'm guessing its just the ECU. You know what ...

ok thanks buddy

so there is its like a white/creamy coloured plastic box with a silver handle type thing on top and a wiring loom heading into the gear lever area. Now... where to acquire a trip computer and where to install it...

Ah right ok buddy. I doubt mine would have it, its only a facelift LS

Awesome Looks like your motorway trips in an executive car are sorted I really want a trip computer in my Cav, but i reckon it'll be too complicated to install. At least for me anyway.
But ye, good job there, looks good mate

Yep, thanks dude, it confirms my suspicions. I'l have to look around at some point then. I was thinking EBC but ye, it is annoying lol.
thanks again
Andrei

Nah, Squig. basically, i'll run you through it.. I couldnt get it off myself, so a lot of bashing and twisting and pulling and jagging from side to side, etc. A guy from across the road had a rotary tool set with a grinder, so luckily he could cut along the outer sleeve, so, basically he got it off....

Hey all :wave Ok, so i changed my backbox recently, now after that, i started to hear this tinny rattle from underneath at gentle revs. Its definitely the exhaust, but i'm not sure if its just hitting the heat shield or what? It's coming from the middle section, after the cat converter to where the ...

Hi mate Just reading your comment there.. have you tried looking at the Idle valve? i understand theyre expensive, but that may be the issue.
Andrei.

Hey all. Just a quick confirm really, When i brake at high speeds, there is a very noticeable shake through the pedal, and sometimes the seat and the whole car basically. Just wondering if its just the discs or could anything else be at suspect? I've not had the disks or pads checked since i bought ...

Oh ok, thanks Greig looks like its time for a heck load of masking again. Oh well.. It pays off at the end Thanks again dude

lmao!! i was gonna ask you that.
Anyways, as far as i can imagine, i reckon you;d have to remove the inner panel, same way as to removing the mirrors. i've not tried it but i should hopefully do tomorrow. If i'm successful i'll update you.

Thanks mate :) ye, i figured it would be a nice touch. Next, i think i'm going to try paint the rear window corner trim bits (the small triangular plastic bit on the rear doors), u know. That i think will add the finishing touch, and if i manage to find the chrome surround, well, job done on the ext...

hey all :wave I think i'm getting the hang of this spraying thing :lol: So i decided to colour match the door handles from that same awful faded grey to..... Door handles offside.JPG it is more shiny and clear to the eye, its just my prehistoric phone camera :lol: Door handles nearside.JPG I must sa...

ye now that the summer days are starting to kick in, it's gonna be all about working on the car everyday forgetting other stuff lol.

Sounds good mate, but to be honest i like the system as it is. So there's a fair point about the possible automatic function, but on a hot sunny day, if ure just parking up for a few minutes, its better that you can control how much the window is shut, rather than having it shut all the way.

Wow love the interior design What have you done to it, Well hey, i like the Veccies, but the Cavaliers are always in my heart
