peanut 199 has some preface haed lights for sale on here
Re: WELCOME TO MY CAVALIER GSI
like they say^^^^
new ones from a fiver on ebay plus del.
cheaper than a scrapyard.
i guess you will need ones with levelling motors though for a GSi, or swap them over from your old ones.
PS if you want the best chance of seeing where you are going, I'd recommend some new headlights with spanking clean reflectors. Mine were shocking till I fitted new ones. now miles better.
pps, beautiful car. nice to see a std one for once.

Puddle in the passenger footwell this morning it's not the scuttle as that was cleared when I got it home. It's not coolant either so where else could it be coming from?

Check the elephant trunk on the bulk head isn't full of rubbish as that's normally the most common faultchrisvectra wrote:Puddle in the passenger footwell this morning it's not the scuttle as that was cleared when I got it home. It's not coolant either so where else could it be coming from?
