Mk3 Cavalier Owners Club | Vauxhall Cavalier Dot Com

good decision! Renaults..... Hmmm.... best get rid and find a nice cav again.. I'd not bother with a smaller engined cav unless I really had to, but I'd have another 8 valve saloon diplomat or cd/more luxury one, etc again. a superb engine on top form, different in manner to the xe powered ones, but...

I looked at the bearings the other day to see if it was easy to do a 5 stud conversion on foxys cav but as you said the bearing was 2mm or so narrower on the 2.0ltrs over the v6's it'll fit and the CV will most probably not stick through the bearing as much, by 2mm in fact. this is no problemo. you...

the actual front itself hub is the same as a late 5 stud calibra, so does fit in the leg inside wheel bearing. thats what is on mine as they fit inside the 288/308 disc. the rest of the front stuff is all different. vectra 4 stud hubs i believe are the same part as std Astra.cav/calibra one, with th...

those dates sound good to me.

all i have seen are 8mm

ok cool, great. how about somewhere in the New Forest area? its massive, and there are loads of car parks around it, i think it would be ideal. Oh and if anyone drives up in a Cavalier turbo, they'll leave the others in the dust with 4WD :lol: so ye anyways, how does the New Forest sound? :) new fo...

as the guys are saying, and to sum up if you like, the std v6 ones are 284mm with a 54mm (IIRC) pistons. tiny cav brakes are 256mm with 52mm pistons. then theres uber tiny girly sized small engined ones too. you can (and I have, as many have) fit the later really common saab 900/9-3/calibra/vectra 2...

somewhere along the south coast, somewhere in the middle but roughly between brighton and poole kinda zone would be fine with me. I'm just up from Safffffhampton.

these is me faves. I'm rather biased though as you may imagine:- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v464/pitstoppete/dippybeaut/23-9-2007100.jpg got two sets of as good as new unmolested ones, there much like MO's but fit properly and the 308s just fit under them, so it looks the nuts Hated the std c...

nice cav there mate very jealous. keep her smart wish there were more cavs out on the road looking as clean and sorted as yours cheers fella. shes still earning her keep daily. longer commute to work now down awesome country lanes at speed. still doing 35-36 mpg average giving it plenty. its superb...

will check tomorrow, but i seem to remember theres a big old gap under the bonnet where the abs isn't.

my other cav is a g plate sri and it came with Ferrari 512bbi style 6 by 14" (so std sized) possibly irmscher supplied (but with a faded MIMM badge possibly) split rim alloys, the red fronted Phillips RDS cassette player, cant remember the model number of that and the superb 3 spoke irmscher Ra...

Well that says it all really buddy. I hated automatic gearboxes before i had this auto Cavalier LS, but now i totally love it. everything about the car just made me fall in love with it. Simplicity, reliability, cost to run, looks,(to me), and just the character of the car itself. Very hard to find...

Welcome to the site mate. Gorgeous sedan u have there, liking the alloys :) Ye they sure do last, and are easier to work on than most other cars. They make total perfect sence to run, i agree, especially compared to some new flashy hatchbacks that cant carry half as much boot space or decent engine...

Very nice looking cav. Not got an adjustable steering coloumn does it? ;) looking for a cheapun. will check the column too when I'm there next, but alas i think its a pov spec one. car is weird, no split fold rear seat, but headlamp wash wipe, irmscher steering wheel with touch sens. horn buttons, ...

the pass seat is now a computer chair, I'll check the state of the drivers one next time im down there for you. take some pics etc.
looked ok the last time i was there.

Thats a beautiful beautiful thing.

I want one.

yeah, it did defy belief at the time. PO had an idea there was an engine fault because it ran a bit hot, also it had no gas in the aircon, and that he'd been quoted 400£ to "convert it to the new gas mate" to get it up and running again. The weepy heater matrix was making the car stink ins...

Here we are then, C20XE Diplomat Saloon daily driver:- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v464/pitstoppete/dippybeaut/oldcav640.jpg I bought this ^^^^ from eBay as a project, a fixer-upper really, it was gonna be scrapped/broken for spares by the seller because of a few silly faults, most of which we...

why thanks for the kind words chaps. as you say above, it's the favored daily transport for people that know the difference, much nicer to own and drive than those other smaller FWD vauxhalls. I'm a mid engined and RWD man really, but the cav is just so reliable, well made and if something does go w...

Hello guys, just signed up and about time too, as I've had the car for 5 years! I've/it's been about a bit at shows and is a little bit special, at least to me anyway:- here she is skulking outside ready for action, her number plate is A 20 CAV now and it's a Dippy saloon, all the options with an XE...
