Mk3 Cavalier Owners Club | Vauxhall Cavalier Dot Com

Ive got 195/60/14s on my cav on the alloys I got it with and I only ever use uniroyal rain expert tyres the grip in whatever situation

That link is now in my bookmarks ill be getting some of that next time I change my oil

Anyone know if a 2litre 8v exhaust centre section is the same as the 1.8 8v centre section? Are they different bore sizes etc

Cheers for the heads up I only use halfords own oil any known problems with that?

It was a 1.6 8v artic but I blew the gearbox and replaced it with one from a 1.4 corsa which made it accelerate like a jack rabbit on speed then I blew a hole in the 4th piston so I have now got the c14se that was originally with the gearbox but thanks to it being an artic the front drivers engine m...

Ah ok so my mk3 astra would be a tech1 then being a '97 I always thought it was tech 2 for that. Ah well computers lose me now used to be alright with them.

Unfortunately no pics on here cos im only online through my mobile and even though my old n95 would upload pics this one won't I can't even bluetooth anything its a pain in the a hole ive got some on the book of face though have a look for raging spirit and check out my photos. Would be great to mee...

That would be handy my airbag needs resetting

ilovemyelite im rage on migweb, mk3oc, cavmk3oc, cavcrazy, turbonutters, and I think thats it. And im up for meets shame I didn't know about the migweb one although I would have probably have of been working, I work too much

The worst i had was emission,s. Bloke in the garage was very good. They have to be under 3 on the scale right. Well mine were off the scale. The good thing bout the cav,s is the little fuel screw behind the manafold. Turn that out , a little forte, warm the rngine & away to go, What what what?!...

Ok ill see what I can do. Out comes my multimeter time to play

Doh! So why would it be going off when its idling or when I use my fan override switch? Oh how I love electronics NOT!

Can I not reset the airbag by disconnecting the battery for a while? I really haven't got the money for a garage or mobile mechanic to reset anything

Ok any ideas how to reset it? Ive now found that my windows are fine with just the ignition on but go nuts when the car is running

Yeah ok if that small wire is for voltage control then that would make sense that its over charged the battery. Its a long story as to why it was disconnected but basically the alternator was from my astra and I had issues with the losing of the sort for the small wire so that connecter was bodged s...

Both good points but its a zero maintenance battery and how would it have over charged if the alternator was disconnected?


(sorry that sounds a bit blunt)

As stated my battery has swollen its a varta blue rated at 43ah 390a it says on the side that its for the astra belmont brava carlton cavalier and nova but coming home this morning I had the eml and airbag light come on then when I got home and lifted the bonnet I heard a very faint whistle and foun...

Yeah noticed that just after posting my reply then my mob messed up on the net again nice motor wish mine was that tidy

Hmm ok then so theres another cav hatch with the same or similar rear wing near that pub then ill have to get the reg when im next going past it

Ive been spotting alot more vectra's about aswell I still prefer the old skool looks of the cav though. Bit of a change of subject but what wing is that on your cav in your avatar I think ive spotted you in cambridge near the pub that has the speed camera near it and the double decker in its car park.

Spotted a black gsi 2000 yesterday parked next to steves taxi's in huntingdon looked tidy with dark tints and what I think is a f50 bonnet vent. Its reg started G47 ***

My worst mot so far was the last one my cav kept failing on emissions so I changed all the ignition system for new stuff cos of a miss fire and still failed the emissions so then changed the intake gasket which cured the missfire but the emissions were still failing then had her fail to start so sus...

That makes me feel better cheers. Im fairly new to the area. I've been here about 18 months now and have had my cav for about 15 months so im still looking for new people to chat cars with offline aswell as online. So come on someone spot me lol

Has noone spotted me about seems im all alone around huntingdon/peterborough area all the cavs I see are standard with some old man driving them. Haven't worked out if its the same old man yet lol. Keep your eyes open for me, and ears for that matter ill be creeking around between huntingdon and pet...

Ah ok now you have said what problems you have had. It would probably be the crank sensor which is the plug that you have in the pic as you have said the sensor sits in the side of the block on the front by the crank pulley its a torx bolt holding it in then to remove the sensor and attached wire an...
