vauxhall cavalier 4x4 turbo

ok i belive you

but in person its fine bonnet way out in couler match wing looks ok to me

[humbucker]

I wasn't referring to the colour, I meant panel alignment/headlights/bonnet/grille looked out, hence me wondering if it had front end damage at some point. The wing colour would give weight to that suggestion too so wondered if you had any supporting info or had a good look around there to see?

[TurboSteven77]

well guy that done cv boot said it was all matching up fine nothing wrong at front end i know its had diff bonnet on it and think wing been changed over

it did have facelift lights on it be4 prefacelift lights fitted 1 of brakets broken on passenger side 1

The bonnet is not sitting right coud be due to not being fitted probably, but the lamps are not sitting right

i personally think everyone is being a bit picky, from the pics it has come up really good, apart from the red bits under the bonnet, which are not to everyones taste, it looks a nice cav, Ads

[TurboDan]

Not being harsh just giving advice in a straight up way. No point in him having the bonnet resprayed just for him to find out its the wing.

I do think its come up really well, i hope it goes aswell as it looks.

[TurboSteven77]

it does just wee oil leek that will be getting lookt at when i can keep eyes open for longer than few hours and not raining same as doing hand brake

[TurboSteven77]

[TurboDan]

You say health check, what exactly do you mean and whos doing this health check?

Because one persons version of healthy can be totally differant to someone elses lol!

[TurboSteven77]

[TurboDan]

Ahh right. I'd class that as a legal check !

[TurboSteven77]

[TurboSteven77]

that looks like the breather (vacuum) pipe that goes from turbo to rocker cover, bennys right should be next to no oil in there. Ads

[TurboDan]

Yeah there right if theres any real oil coming out of there then there is an issue elsewhere, most likely the turbo seals, you'll find it will use allot of oil.

[caza]

agree with above something wrong there with that amount of oil, someones not checked something or not knowing what his looking for

[Gaz]

or the turbo is breathing oil at a massive rate and wanted to hide the fact

yip looking that way now so will be begging my mate to sale me his spare turbo till then going disconect that pipe and get oil thing for it

[Stoater85]

so is this a big issue guys? (i no not alot about the turbo variants!) has someone tried to hide an issue?

[bennymac36]

with that pipe not connected to the rocker cover it could have caused positive pressure on one side of the turbo seal making it leak more ... thats what the little non return valve does but not 100% sure on the larger breather pipe.
dropping it down the engine instead of a catch tank it pretty rough though.
