If it is 72L check out Humbuckers cav turbo :thumb they look good in the colour, so much so that I'm debating the kit for mine at some point later on. ahhhh yea sorry, dunno what made me think it was L72 :lol: must take a look, i want the turbo look, but the econom...

Hello there from County Tyrone

Nice work, easier to strip em out to do the work and wish I had the time and space to do mine that way... As for front fogs you need the switch for the dash, a fuse in plug 13 I think from memory and the relay, mine just has a wire across the ports instead of a relay but works fine...Just hope wiri...

Hey an welcome
get a gallery started there an get pics up of the cavaliers

your rules on the mainland is alot more relaxed than ours here in N.Ireland

sorry i see you are driving the car from were you buy it to the mot
which is basically what i said above

you can ONLY drive a car without mot-tax to an from the mot, which you are/you asked

No
The only place you can drive your car to is the mot
Your car must be insured to do so also

yea just read 42pages on VON

white ring mob
fuel screw
MBC
decat an Sri-V6 exhaust

was just a thought, that i have the engine out i could do all the bits now as everything is handy worked with rather than in the engine bay were all is tight an awkward

yea cleanest cavalier i've came across

other 3 were rough, needed welded alot an in some bad area's were the car just wasnt worth it, but this is alot more sturdier than the rest

As i now have my 1.7td izuzu engine out for a replacement

when i lift my new engine, could i fit a new turbo? something bigger? i know it wont be really fast but thought could maybe fit something other than standard 1.7 turbo

my plans are a 4x4 rep
full gsi kit
front mount
5 stud conversion
turbo wheels
full electric kit
full leather

Ok were do i start 1995 1.7td Izuzu bought this 2 weeks ago for £500 drove 3 miles an it died ( over heated ) so got it towed home ( an hour away ) an started the work This was it the day i bought ( old owner gave it a wash ) http://i908.photobucket.com/albums/ac289/garymcfall1984/IMG_18253159015100...

If you have electric windows then you should have the wiring for the mirrors as its the same loom. Most have got the fog light looms and the heated seat wiring. Cheers dude yea it has electric front windows, manual mirrors an as of tonight, no seats, front or rear an no engine/box as we removed the...

sorry for not posting since this thread

sold the car as it was to rough for my liking

i now have a 1995 LS cavalier saloon 17td

i think i have 1 of those
my td engine shat itself in my project i just bought
im buying another engine so should have 1 spare when i lift it

i'll post here straight off when i collect the engine

cracking pics dude quick question, im doing my saloon a turbo rep, now its a 17td, if i done completely like a rep, leather, turbo kit, 5 stud an alloys, could i take this to a show? would it be acceptable? i will not be selling my cavalier as i always wanted a good 1, my last 3 were dogs, but this ...

unless you have a powerful cavalier i dont see a reason why to buy brand new part worn tyres are £10-£20 for a really good branded 15-16" tyre, and you you get Michelin with maybe 1-2mm used, basically a brand new tyre for £20 then if you know anyone that works in a tyre depot, he will fit for ...

i dont mind paying, aslong as the engine get sorted and im fit to sit in traffic without the car boiling itself either way 1st im going to change thermostat an waterpump, fill the rad 1st, then connect the top hose, an fill the coolant to above low level and run with the cap off until the coolant le...

thermostat and water pump will be changed and we'll run the car again with cap on or cap off?

if the problem persists, we'll remove the head, get it skimmed an refit with new gasket

Aye an the water started to rise so put the cap back on

Massive airlock? Possibly in the heater matrix, if you turn the heater on and it dumps all the hot air out and goes cold, it sounds like there's air in the matrix. what way can that be unblocked? car is still pressurizing though? took the car to my welder yesterday to get ready for mot about 7 mile...
