good stuff that is. not to be ruined by biting it though, surely?

As AstraDan says, back in 04' I redrilled some spare Vectra back plates where the four holes are that the hubs go through, basically drilled another four holes, so the backplates can go on the opposite sides, so the handbrake cables now point in the correct direction, as Vectra cables pop out at a d...

see reply on MIG.

ref. the leak - heater matrix is in the circuit all the time and is blocked off when cold is selected, with flaps, so if the wetness is sweet tasting then u may have a matrix leak. more likely - check under the scuttle panel in the corners by the bonnet hinges, where there's a drain hole at each sid...

Lovely.

As we understand it at work, when the seller sells, if they have paid up front (12 or 6 months (seemingly now 100% and 50% of the cost) no premium for 6 months worth) they will get back any whole months on a prorata basis as we always did, get nothing back if they have used the new month by month (w...

Not true.
My XE decatted could beat those readings.
A lot of other NE's and XE also have.

Just proves it's running real nice. Good stuff.

Nice buy Pete, been considering a Astra Coupe for ages but they all seem to be 2.2 which people tell me to avoid... Unsure on the ragtop but looks clean mate MK4 2.2 - possible dodgy cam chains and massively cracked heads squirting coolant in my mates face put me off and the lack of a turbo didn't ...

you got it!
have some huge blunt scissors, will travel in said "hairdressers car" and cut anyone's hair for money!

basically yeah.

didn't remove anything apart from the grilles when I swapped mine and removed them again friday just gone. you can get to the 2 easy screws iirc, then lift the shelf up a tad and get the screwdriver on the other screws at a bit of an angle, or use a driver bit and a small spanner to initially turn t...

Joining the red Cav Auto as a commute companion now is my Saturn Blue 2.0 Turbo Mk4 - http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v464/pitstoppete/Turbo/20140920_175956_zpsa95b02d2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v464/pitstoppete/Turbo/20140920_180006_zps97f60680.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...

I have just bought an Astra mk4 Convertible Turbo These have 215/40/17s In the boot is a steel spare that fits perfectly over 308s like the mk4 has or my Cavalier, wheel is 16" and 205/50/16, like a std cav turbo and 49mm offset. perfect for your needs and on ebay frequently. I'm probably going...

the sri/dippy cdx style red or silver trim strips with the separate moulded ends don't fit on the gsi/turbo bumpers, tried that on mine. they have a black edge to them that kinda tucks over the bumper cover and there's no room for them on the turbo type, the plastic is like too thick. on mine i boug...

Cheers! it does polish up quite well and is doing sterling service.. Just come back to Beaulieu Autojumble and helped get some cars home for a friend, so have just driven an auto D reg 520I lux beemer which was 2500£ and a 1100£ auto J reg XJ6 3.2 poverty spec thing, both were dire to drive compared...

air filter fairly new?

I have a perversion for clocks and watches. love em, lots of em. Also due to what i get up to at work I do a fair bit of precision wiring, soldering and micro engineering and I am fascinated by things that are both new and old looking at the same time, so in the winter when the garage is a tad cold,...

A well overdue update! Keeping this beastie as my main runaround, before Beaulieu it had a fair old polish and scrub up and it really came up well and it earns it's keep popping to work and back most days, road trips and occasional long weekends away at my caravan, a decent 350 mile round trip, whic...

cooler is built into the end tank, needed for the auto fluid.
any new one needs this feature, not swappable

seems to look right for the oomph and grip available.
