Nice find, what a bargain!

Voyage of discovery today.
After getting a new left steering knuckle, I thought that I would look for a right sided one.
I looked at my right knuckle - code is 90 425 310.... strangely neither ecat24 nor epc4 recognise the code.
Weird...

Number might be superseded, had this a few times with part numbers, check with http://www.genuinepartsearch.co.uk/Robsey wrote:Voyage of discovery today.

Re: 1994 Cavalier LSi C20NE (was C18NZ) Work-horse
I use ecat to list all the codes,
Then I keep googling "Vauxhall" and the part number.
So far all the knuckle codes for the Cavalier are not available..
Unless you want to pay well over £300 a pop.
Not a problem now, I have stripped my right hand side strut and sent it for bead blasting and powder coating.
In fact I sent loads of bits for blasting and coating as follows.
1 x rear beam
1 x rear anti roll bar
2 x square profile outer arb bush clamps
2 x rounded profile inner arb bush clamps
1 x front sub frame
2 x front arb bush clamps
1 x front anti roll bar
1 x o.s.f steering knuckle / strut leg
2 x top mount dished pieces
2 x spring upper retainers
1 x battery clamp bracket...
Should be ready within the next 2 or 3 working days.

*rubs thighs* Love a bit of blasting and coating - looks so nice.
Loomage fills me with dread but I have a bit of OCD about tidy wiring so anything that looks neat and organised ticks my box!

Re: 1994 Cavalier LSi C20NE (was C18NZ) Work-horse
I decided to methodically go through my new CANbus dash loom, checking against my old one as I went along.
After about an hour of carefully stripping out wires and re-looming, I eventually got to my bluetooth kit.
It is not a factory UHP4 kit that speaks to my display... nope, it is a simple but very effective Nokia CK-7W car kit.
Anyway I had always had feed back problems on the audio circuit to the radio, and so had resorted to fitting an external speaker.
Tonight I noticed that the two audio wires to the radio had been installed the wrong way round. D'oh !! -
could do with a palm slap to the forehead emoticon here.
I am thinking that this could have been my issue all along.
The wife has the identical car kit and radio (CD70) in her Vectra-C and her phone audio is spot on.
I obviously got it right that time - lol.
If you have ever seen a 40 pin quadlock connector on a full CANbus Vectra, then you will understand how easy it is to get confused. That is my excuse anyway.
Much easier doing a 16 pin ISO plug on a Cavalier radio.
And just to add to the annoyance - my soldering iron decided it was dead.
So that stopped that then

Re: 1994 Cavalier LSi C20NE (was C18NZ) Work-horse
I should have another iron, a very crude gun and a solder station hiding somewhere. I just have no idea where at the moment. Back yard, shed and dog kennel all look like a scrap yard.Envoy CDX wrote:To hell with standard! If you need an iron, say so cos I have a couple here I could rehome with you Rob!
The shed and kennel are piled up to the ceiling with Cavalier, Transporter and Vectra-C parts.
regarding the loom - I do wonder sometimes why the hell faff, when a standard set up would work fine.
answer - because it is different - and because I can.

Re: 1994 Cavalier LSi C20NE (was C18NZ) Work-horse
Yesterday I finally plucked up the courage to pull out all my Cav interior from the kennel.
It looks like the damp weather has taken it's toll on my rear seat components.
A fair bit of mold everywhere, but it will brush / vacuum out again.
And here is the reason for my sort out.
a set of 15" fanblades donated to me by Gaz about 5 years ago.
They all need a total refurb and some fresh rubber...
Now to dig out my centre caps... modified Omega items I believe.
Saying that though - I did actually gift the wheels to Gary Envoy CDX.
But he says that I should fit them to my cav for now....
He'll have them later when they have been refurbished. - lol

The powder coating looks amazing! How long is that expected to last, out of interest ?

Re: 1994 Cavalier LSi C20NE (was C18NZ) Work-horse
I suspect that they should be moderately okay for 3 or 4 years, depending upon what abuse I expose them to.
It takes next to nothing to scratch a standard paint job.
I hope the wheels will impress most members... I think it was you Gary who advised the colour to go for.
Not quite original - but time will tell.
Troy likes the colour choice though.
