This weekend I've removed the vectra b central locking from the cavalier and fitted the vauxhall remote central locking kit for the cavalier.

All in and working once I fitted new battery to the remotes.

While the car was in bits I fitted a aux point and a double usb point in the ash tray. Also rewired the amp gauge . Im now not getting the battery light coming on once there a high demand.

I changed the wiper arms for my newly painted ones too. No more rusty ones.

Been a year since I've put anything on this. Well this week the car passed it's MOT with the normal advisory ie to much underseal. Done a massive 242 miles between the mot's this time :shock: if my maths are correct.

Also had to fit yet another new battery today too.

Up next is replacing the cheap shocks I fitted about 10 years ago to the car with some Bilsten b4 ones.
