Thank you Robsey.....that is so appreciated, yes it is a glorified carb! It seems both connectors on the throttle body intake and the one on the idle valve were totally perished and split. I am reconnecting with diesel leak off pipe I have handy. This may explain the very slightly fluffy idle....tha...

After cleaning the engine bay a bit various perished rubber bits fell of......... All sorted except a short plastic vacuum line found on the drive under the car with perished ends. I believe it connected the the 2nd vacuum connector on the injection air inlet, the red one is reconnected to under the...

perfect thanks, so the sensor itself should read typically in 100 to 1.5K ohms range, I can check that. Its a silly thing but nice if I can correct it.

that fact I am thinking why the outside temperature display reads 0 degrees indicates just how good my project Cav is. I have located the sender under the front, can I test the display by shorting the wires out? if I can make it read anything but 0 degrees it will confirm the sensor is at fault.

thanks Robsey, the clutch seems to be good with a twiddle of the cable adjustment! will be certain when driven again but it bites well on the drive in a nice position. The mirror tutorial is great, when I have my replacement mirror I may well use my casing if it has no scratches on it.

perfect thanks for that, the metal looks like self tap holes....I have some large hex head ones may do the job.

I have secured a replacement flap for my car, but seeing as it came without one I am unsure what the fixing is. I see the two holes, can anybody advisewere they big self tapping screws or threaded bolts? They look more suitable to self tappers to me. Thanks

Thanks, another forum member I think is helping me out.

I am with you Robsey....solder and heatshrink! I do indeed use a hairdryer too, My Mums 1960's Morphy Richards! one of those old snail looking ones ;0)

yes warm is good! I use a heat gun to warm stuff up carefully. Especially good on old hard motorcycle wiring looms! The headlight is out, bottom lug was off to hence why it was not seen.

Thanks to you both, Robsey I e=mailed you back thanks!

well the light is out, reason I could not see the lower lug is that is snapped off too! light held in place by being crimped between the slam panel and bent upwards under light panel.

Robsey thanks, yes grill already out and I had not seen that lower screw....both top lugs are broken and I think force may still be needed!! the bent lower metal is lipped over the bottom of the light.

my new 1995 Cavalier has a small nudge on the front panel under the lights and corner of bumper under indicator. No paint broken and with a little careful work should tidy up. The indicator is out, headlight currently not. I have undone the top mountings....are there more? or does it sit in lugs on ...

Hi Envoy CDX, thanks you...yes I have looked and can see the clutch cable adjuster and have the spec for the pedal travel. I sourced a filler flap today. I will PM you when I have been through any needs. The mirror has broken metal bar in it...all ok otherwise...but it hangs off and does not adjust ...

already tried the WD round it which is now all over the dash haha. I will see if the vents pop off, seeing as the car had been stored for a bit I wonder if removed it may clean and start latching again before buying a new one.

HI, I have posted in the newbie introduction section with an outline of the jobs I have on the new car. In particular now I wondered how I remove the Hazard switch on a 1995 car, first test and it now wont turn them off haha.....wedged in with card and they stay off.

Hi, i got a Cavalier this weekend and have a few little jobs to start off with...its a lovely low owner low mile 1.8 car. 1)radio code for an SC201 phillips set? plenty offering codes on Blaupunkt but not phillips. 2)Fuel filler flap needed. 3)Drivers door mirror,,manual type to paint and match. 4)s...
