Re: New to site
Finally found my cav but had to travel over 200 miles on the train to go and get her though.
But had fun driving her home, I must of looked like a nutter with big smile on my face lol.
Ruining a little rough when you first start her up but fine after that, will sort that out when I give her a service and clean up.
She is a 2.0L cdx n reg.

Check the plugs and leads, and obviously oil
Check all earth points too, clean them up if necessary.
She'll be the C20NE block by the sounds of it.

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...

Bottom line of the chassis plate, usually two numbers and a letter, but I think some later codes took different forms.stonedagain wrote:
