theres little point in swapping the chip if youve already lost the key with the chip in it, this kinda makes the whole point of having a spare key useless.

ok thanx everyone we will just take it that the key is probably chipped. what a pity we can't get it tested somewhere.

Hi, My sons M-Reg Mk3 Cavalier saloon has a ignition key with a button and a light in it he doesn't have remote central locking. all of the locks lock together when he uses the key in the drivers door or the boot lock. the windows also shut Automatically when the key is turned. He went to have a new...

Still haven't got around to fixing these flammin sensors yet the 1.8 is in such good condition (and the weather has been so very cold) I am worried about not being able to get the supplied core drill bit through the rear bumper (the possibility of there being a huge steel box section behind the rear...

HARIBO, I was thinking of putting a wired system in without the LCD screen and mounting the speaKer once painted to the rear parcel shelf, I hope they are loud enough? oojimmyflip. :wave :wave :wave ermm that's the speaker on the parcel shelf Haribo not the sensors, which go in the bumper. anyway I...

I have driven some really bad MK3' cav's and i was under the impression that they were all quirky with heavy clutches and offset steering wheels, but somehow in this last week after buying one for my son, I'm cavy mad again, gonna start looking for one, I do seriously doubt there wil many chances to...

4x4 road cars can be unpopular as the maintenance can be a nightmare, good luck selling it though, personally i can't see the point unless someone wants to rally it.

Didn't know the rac, AA green flag etc actually covered the cost of repairs to your vechicle sorry.
that's ok i didn't have a bubble to start with, so its doesn't matter just thought I'd explore the Thought for a moment.
any further comments people??

Thats ok mate I'll wait for the manual, she's not being driven at the moment waiting for a new MOT next week and a big insurance deposit.

Thanks anyway I had my suspicions it went to the air intake thingy somewhere.

I'd like to add that we have a mechanic on board of twenty years experience with all makes of Vechicle.

Hi, I appreciate I'm a newbie but I like to see if I could do some customer reasearch in warrenties on used cars. You see I have this bussiness Idea and although it is difficult times at the moment I am wondering if anyone might be interested, this isnt a ploy to sell anything at all just to see wha...

Envoycdx, the Mk2's used to have shims on the outside edge of the brake pads but many people never put them back or they were lost over the years, it might be benificial to ask a main dealer if the car would have had these shims fitted when the car was new. a good dealership may have a schematic dia...

yep I can understand that and citroens nearly always need a stash of cash spent on them to get them up to your own particular standard, i have suffered the reality all to often of replacing front & rear brake disks, pads, cv joints rocker gaskets hydraulic fluid etc etc etc I call my xantia dies...

Diploma se, I agree it sounds a little more like it, the matrix usually goes very slowly with a small hole creating little moisture if any under the carpets, in retrospect it may not be the matrix that is the problem. regards oojimmyflip. ps it sure solved our mobile sauna effect though and our carp...

Hi, on the top right side of the camshaft case there is a little flat square moulded into the cam case cover pointing towards the bulkhead on the right hand corner is a small pipe, whilst the engine is running it vents air but this pipe isnt connected to anything, the car is a 1.8 GLSi cavalier 1995...

Thank you haribo for that I think I'm going to get a set with audio alarm only dont want him looking at the fairy lights at the front whilst he traveling backwards, although I could put a wired set on the parcel shelf, Hmmm it sure takes some thought. I have found this website who do a whole range o...

I wouldn't lubricate the bearings your likely to short something out and it won't work again esspecially if you use a spray lubricant(WD40 etc) the motor needs to be dry to run smoothly, it could be that the brushes are getting low and loose in their mountings hence the sqweekiy noise it sounds very...

I over filled some keyed deep scratches with a halfords touch up brush and let it dry for three weeks without washing the car (in the summer) I then used T-cut colour restorer on a clean cotton rag a t-shirt is ideal it slowley erroded the surface down to a decent level, left it for a day to dry and...

if the windows and I mean all of them are steamming up completely its the matrix, Ive just got my sons repaired it cost £78 from an auto factors (auto express) and it cost £80 to have it fitted theres no need to remove the dash to do the job there is some info on the website how to do the job but no...

Andrei, I know where there is a beautiful XM going for just £350.00 if you PM me I'll dig out the details for you, I was searching for a used Citroen xantia diesel hatch for my son stumbled upon the Cavalier 1.8 GLSi and consequently found this website as a result now you mention your wanting an XM ...

I felt equaly gutted when someone torched my Mk 2

I would definately buy one of those it's beautiful :love blimey branny361 your back gate must be huge.lol. only one small critism the best design for an estate is to have the rear sill as low as possible for loading heavy items. I see that this one is fairly High perhaps it might have air suspension...

Hi, I am convinced that my son after driving a small hatchback for two years will smack the rear end of his Cavalier and it's worring me somewhat, has anyone had any good experiences with parking sensors? are they really a good idea or just something for your mates to ridicule you for having i.e a t...

once again branny361 thank you these tips are all essential to keeping the car in good nick. oojimmyflip.
