https://vimeo.com/111248849 Does anyone know why this might be happening. I'm not loosing coolant and the over heating seems to be due to an air look as I left the cap off and it bubbled a lot and over flowed abit then went down. But it's still steaming. I think it might be down to the fact it's si...

Re: Vauxhall cavalier L f reg saloon gsi rep two tone projec
Thermostat can't be stuck open as the pipe to the thermostat is solid then goes soft after temp rises.
How can I unblock the matrix.

Vauxhall cavalier L f reg saloon gsi rep two tone project.
Got the cavalier back up and running today. She's now all lined back up on the TDC and a new water pump fitted she now takes 40 mins to reach temperature. Due to the much better water pump, the old one had two flow holes where as this one has a hole in every fan blade so this pump really keeps the e...

Re: Major squeaking coming from rear.
Discovered the squeaking is coming from the anti roll bar rubbers that I replaced so I need to grease them up went under car and rocked her and it appears to be coming from there so next week I'm on the case of the mystery squeaks.

Re: Vauxhall cavalier L f reg saloon gsi rep two tone projec
Well checked the cavalier today and she's not leaking from the water pump at all so no idea where the water came from no leaks any where. Might have spilt some coolant flush and didn't realise or could have just been from where she's been in storage and not used although I'm still replacing the pump...

Re: Vauxhall cavalier L f reg saloon gsi rep two tone projec
Well discovered today whilst trying to change the water to coolant that I have a major leak coming from the water pump and that the bearings have gone so I've got to replace the whole lot.
So she's back in the garage waiting to be fixed again.

Re: Major squeaking coming from rear.
Just dont use normal grease. I have the clear grease can't remember it's name but it's in a tub with a red top. I'm going to try that. Then if I can, sort out a few other niggling bits like the leaky sunroof and what not. Think it's a blocked pipe. You need rubber grease if you're putting it on bus...

I didn't put any grease on it. Just wd40 so it must be what it needs.
