so true, lets face it was there anything good going for the meastro other than then cool instrument cluster

mk1 astra or mk2 cavalier sri would of been my choice

Rob can fix anything electrical!

But if penetrant doesn't release the sensor, then see if you get a gas-torch on the sensor, then undo it whilst it is still hot.

Definately a blow lamp! mapp gas really

Be aware that removing it may strip the insert of its threads

1st of all check the plug on the lambda sensor as the fault indicates no continuity. the lambda sensor doesn't do anything while the engine is cold or on full throttle the coolant temperature can also cause awful running problems with no code thrown up the camshaft sensor will cause all kinds of pro...

Hi Craig, Welcome to the forum. Classic is a nice simple trim level, and not too common, so worth keeping it original. if your a librarian The C18NZ engine is a good willing little engine, rated at 89 bhp. - About as much power as an petrol lawnmover! Being an 8 valve unit, you do not need to rev t...

ewww those welds are not as neat as id like. Anyway could blame a whole host of things lol

your making yourself sound like a loon!

should come to me that and be saved!

Feel very much like the old Southern gang has broken apart. :cry Sadly all of the regional gangs have broken apart... There are vitually no North West members either. We are becoming a rare but special breed. hey i still have my cavalier you know, it might be an ornament but i still have it. someon...

With your guidance, you have converted me from a total bafoon to a semi-skilled monkey.
One day, I may actually have a clue of what I am doing.

so far excellent at cutting rust out and sending angle grinders flying

Yes that is true. It is quite useful for programming keys to the Vectra-B / Omega-B anti-theft, central locking module, and it can clear air bag lights... But proper ECU Eeprom programming will need either Tech 1 for GM module related programming or a pukka programmer set-up with appropriate chip-s...

i think i need a corsa b or c driveshaft and hub + speedo
from there i should be able to make something work

Brilliant info btw

what do you recommend using to put pics up, whats the easiest method

I am sure it is only a small penalty to pay in return for your excellent motor body fabrication and coatings knowledge.

Give over

Hi, Just thought i'd bore people with my ye olde faithful Nova project. Current jobs include fitting my 6 speed straight cut gearbox borrowed from the cav :( Doesnt actually fit in the space so chassis rails need modifying, also need custom drive shafts and a race gear linkage. Photo's to follow whi...

this is most interesting its a shame you can't write anything to the ecu

Hopefully i might help if people see past the sarcasm lol

what you need is to give it a couple coats of PRO XL TEX. Will look brand new!

doesnt that bottle look dandy.

i have a list of cleaning jobs for you to do

The floor panels are indeed klokerholm, I'm just hoping that they are made of better metal than the nearside inner arch. It was a nightmare to weld due to crappy steel. That's the problem with older vehicles, you have to make use of what you can find rather than just popping down the Vauxhall deale...

We've all done stupid things like that, lol. At least you've got someone with Troy's skill levels to sort it out. I did the same thing about a month ago, but managed not to damage anything. Troy told me that I was a silly billy, then set about reshaping the door frame with his favourite dolly. The ...

cavaliers sail through the mot until they get hit with the dreaded rot! Or emissions due to worn injectors (C18NZ), leaky exhaust manifold (any family 2 8 valve) or a tatered catalytic converter. I'm sure there is more going on than meets the eyes with yours though. i have never had a cavalier fail...
