Mk3 Cavalier Owners Club | Vauxhall Cavalier Dot Com

Well it's strange how minds change.. Debating selling on the old cav with some of the parts because I've got my L to keep me more than busy and parts are taking up my space along with parts for the L and could make good use of some bits I would keep for the L. Not quite sure yet but I'm not going of...

Don't think there's a how2 on it but Robsey did put up the front wiring pin diagram showing where the pins are and what for, but nothing on the rear

I'm wanting to add kerb light illumination front and rear got cards and lights and metal contacts to add into the rear ones I just don't have the wiring in the loom I don't think, unless Gary can tell me otherwise from the loom I'm getting from him and obviously don't have them on the rear.

Happy birthday dude

Saw your post on the cav fb group, may have to pick up this issue

Thought I'd post on this one for both, any car cover recommendations for a saloon and for hatch (if different cover is needed) as the TD won't be worked on until about February next year and just to cover the L for protection. Also to update I've changed the drivers side door seals and the hatch sea...

Yeah that's what I would have done but I bought these already removed, although i do have someone after the beige ones, suppose I'll be nice and label them
I'm sure the fronts are bigger aswell but they all looked the same before

Hmm sounds about the best way, will have too spend a bit of time tomorrow.
Also should mention Ive succeeded and found a GSi steering wheel with the correct badge which will be posted at the end of the week.

Has anyone got tips for finding the right door seals. As I've got my set of black ones ready to swap for the beige ones, I had a hard time finding which one before it got dark quickly.

When you say swap the brackets, do you mean to use the vectra or cav brackets?

Ah right thanks for your help Robsey, that's a shame but oh well think I'll get it recon'd then, also could you check if there's a compatable 100amp alternator for the Isuzu TD? While we're on the subject of 100a alternators as I'm interested in one for that aswell

Oh that's weird.. so since the vectra engines are family 2 ones and yes the 16sv is definitely a family one engine they won't be compatable?
A 120amp does sound a bit overkill for it.

Ah right thanks Robsey, thought I may aswell uprate it while it's changed and will come in handy with bits like sunroof and heated seats I'll be adding at some point.

The one I'm looking at is 90 356 897 and is a Bosch unit

So as long as the car has a standard duty 063 battery the alternator will be fine? I'm guessing it says so on the battery? Do you know if I'll have a problem swapping the pulley's over to the correct 4tooth one? Thanks Robsey

The one currently has in a four tooth pulley and the vec one has 5, is it just a case of swapping the pulley's over?

My current alternators dying and I've read that it's a straight replacement but I read where someone listed compatable engines but it didn't show 16sv.

I see what you mean very clean interior, one of the nicest designs aswell

Very nice cav, a nice and powerful lump in it aswell I actually quite like the Astra wheels on it, although I don't think I've seen phase one vec gsi's on a hatch before. I'm guessing it's the black stripped interior?

Coming along very well, like the heater panel, I think perhaps I may do something on those lines as it would be nice to see the dammed thing at night! lol Yeah it's something I've wanted for a while, will be making another myself at some point, could easily be done with Amber-ish LEDs to match stan...

Didn't get pics in the end it was to dark when I got in, although I'll be putting the front seats in tomorrow night and probably bolt them in on Saturday and the leather will be going into atleast it's third car as they last came out of an Sri Leather care is next I think, probably atoglym leather c...

Did the gsi have an aftermarket immobiliser on it aswell as the alarm?

Top job! Interested to see how things develop. Haha The cav will be invading on your names layout/idea... L on the outside and close to CDX on the inside ;) currently manual rears with GLS cards as the difference, when I get illuminated grab handles, sunvisors and get the wiring for the new heated ...

Well finally picked up the leather seats can't wait to get them in pics will come tomorrow probably

I've been waiting for this update since I saw your post, really nice and clean looking cav you've secured :) Liking the vec wheels and the spoiler, they suit it well. You wouldn't happen to want to replace that gsi grill with a correct facelift one would you? Also got a set of fog lights from a GLS ...
