used be out of ten, then 20, now I believe it is scored out of 50. Group 20 sounds about right.

winner winner

prefer the first or last date there Dave. 100% on either of those.

bringing plenty of cav parts from down south!

see you there

has your car got the extra fan mounting shroud bit in front of the rad, off to the drivers side a bit? if so you could run a wide Air-con style rad if you haven't got that one already, with the other auxiliary fan as well as the std alloy framed one, that gives you a cheap but big rad and fans that ...

it's a little square 9 way one IIRC. We found the mating half at a scrappy and wired mine in properly.Can't remember what it was off of though. Sure there was probably a 40£ kit one could purchase at the time, but I never had that. Found you 2 rads and 3 condensers today, and 5 aircon pumps. should ...

My original NE had a superb fault or 3....but not usual common or garden stuff like the usual problems that affect anything - used to take ages to drain the hot oil out of it.... used to idle strange, too high basically. well weird. never sussed it til the end Thing pulled like the proverbial though...

Welcome indeed TonyO,

and about bl00dy time too!

Gosh have we got some fun spring weekends ahead!

Luckily I know a man with a house and 3 sheds full of Dippy parts!

partsbase.org has 5 different numbers for non irs - 1989-1995: FUEL AND EXHAUST: FUEL TANK EXCEPT 2000, GSI, TURBO, 4WD 90297148 90297151 90297150 90443805 (edit - seems to be an injection one on ebay for 75.00£) 90297149 no clue which one is what and what fits a carbed car. GPS phone number is 0192...

So much want "Aluminum Variant of the GM C20XE Cast Iron Block with a weight saving of 19KG. Completly interchangable with standard original components. Liners are not bored and are left ready to machine to selected size. All Blocks are +10mm from standard height, designed for long stroke cran...

the 5 stud front discs are the same internal 70mm iirc bore as that bit sits on a little step on the hub... it is the disc "bell" part that is different, the big recess bit. early 284 ones are bigger in shape so go over later hubs and later discs, like the 288 and 308 would need the hubs t...

as the man says, if your have already got late calibra 5 stud hubs that the 288's fit over, just bolt on the carriers and discs.
if you have actually got the larger diameter early 5 stud hubs off of a cav turbo or a car with 284mm brakes, your new ones won't fit over the hubs.

Taking both the steering arms off with the track rod ends still on them makes it a piece of p1ss to sort them nicely, coz there's far less arsing about in the dark on the floor bruising yur knuckles.. something like - take off inner locking clips and bolts with the oval link widgit and spacers, IIRC...

advise engine oil low? wtf has that got to do with an MOT? never heard of that bs.

I've only had 25 vehicles so far too. need to get a move on a bit, buy some more sheds

Loving the presence of the 600, Astons are ok if V12,
but prefer a real Lambo - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2002-LAMBORGH ... 41838b4b18
much better shape car than the little girly ones.

Thanks for the welcome all :) Im going to do an oil change on the box as the old fluid is a bit worn out and oddly enough it only seems to go into limp mode after a period of idling or after being stuck in traffic, i will look at the selector box as well. One of the pipes to the heater is hot while...

Welcome and that's a great board name. made me chuckle. Love my auto and good mpgs too, just don't use it as much as I should. As Andrei says, yours could be the selector switch on the top of the gearbox, contact pins need cleaning/re-greasing. When mines not been used for a while it sometimes goes ...

always quiet on here aint it?
most people are addicted to FB, so real owners clubs don't get a look in.

Cheers fella.
It's just really nice to drive and i'm loving all the toys.

This is turning out to be possibly the second or maybe the third best car I have ever owned, and have had 26 (I recently worked out!) - To give it a small sprucing up, I had the wheels done, had it on the ex Cavvy white ST rims for a week so I could get to work if I wanted to use it, it looked ok on...

It's backwards step from the redtop in my opinion. Redtop or 8v Sri for me never have truer words been spoken! there are pros and cons with any of the engines available, just many more pros with an XE! if you can't find an ace sri XE Cav, build one like I did. CD/cdx/Diplomat base car, slide in an ...

if you lost the dash bulb and the bag by changing the steering wheel for a decent one, I can't see any need to remove anything else like the ecu and wiring for it. it's all hidden aint it?

I have had a whole week free of it all as I did rather over do it last weekend on holiday, but did fancy a swift one earlier, so am supping a cheeky training lager and lime as that's all I seem to have in the gaff and CBA to go out in the rain to the Co-op. Find that quite refreshing and non headach...
