What time are you thinking of I'm flexible ?
Gates open at 9.30 for participants and 10.00 for the public.

So is anybody else coming to this event if so do you fancy meeting in the early arrivals car park just outside of the venue so that we can drive in together to try & have a mini club meet ?

As far as I am aware, all standard cavalier tanks are steel.

Yes they are positioned differently as well they are right at the back of the car tucked up under the boot floor.

OK so I've booked my tickets & a hotel for the Friday night so I should be there nice & early this year.

I knew you couldn't resist the allure of flashing lights. . What's the difference between the two rover dash's. ? Apart from the colour.

So who's actually going and what day are you thinking of apart from James who's there all weekend ?

The rubber hoses are easy to replace, you'll regret parting with it

Well done on the pass, you don’t realise how much you miss driving them until you do it again.

Red oxide is a industrial paint used a lot by pipe manufacturers very tough and holds back the rust, look in the false ceiling of any building fitted with sprinklers and you’ll see lots of it. Can also be used as metal primer, never tried to rub it down though as always used it on out of sight bits ...

Anybody interested in going ?

My 1.8 Motorsport is the same temp gauge barely moves even when the fan is running.

Not really getting the whole upgrade "scene" these days, seems everyone is slamming their cars and putting the biggest wheels possible on them. If the roads weren't full of potholes I'd maybe understand! Wheels & lowering are not really an upgrade in my opinion that's modifying, I've ...

I had a similar thing as a present a few years ago as you say a money making machine, as for the driving it was miles based which worked out to 2 laps of the top gear track, an out lap 1 flying lap then straight into the pit area. But I did get a Nissan GTR up to 130mph the instructor did say I only...

Glad to hear you've overcome the wtf! problems and can now get back on the road :) Is this the first full timing belt and pump kit since you got it? I got my car around the same time and now i'm a bit worried. It was always a rule with me - get a 'new' car and change the timing belt/pump/etc , you ...

Well a couple of months ago the cav decided to spit out all of it's coolant through the water pump, a new one was dually ordered form Autovaux along with a timing belt, tensioner & idler pulley. With being busy I sorned the car. Well this weekend I completed the installation of said items & ...

They are for holding the trim panels on in the boot.

Odd that they were too big. Must have been Turbo/V6 pads. Sometimes reg numbers don't decode properly on the EPC4 system that I have, normally leaving you to guess between several different parts. Yes strange I measured the old disc's & they are 256mm vented type, so the calipers must be differ...

As James said it will be a mechanical Speedo, could be the drive cable not connected properly at either end, I'd start at the gearbox end and connect a cordless drill the square end of the cable and slowly engage the drill and see what happens.

Job done, nothing left to do but drive it

I had a look at my front brake pads the other week & to my horror I saw they where very low, so I order a set of genuine GM pads from ebay which turned out to be a Vauxhall dealer in Wales see link, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-GM-Vauxhall-Astra-F-Vectra-B-Cavalier-Front-Brake-Pad-Kit-9039...

There's a guy on astra MK2 forum that's done this conversion might be worth looking at.

I thought the check straps were to stop the door flying open if the wind catches it when you open them, not to hold them in position when you open them. I mite be wrong though.

Nice find The GSI kit really suits a saloon cav, but I'm biased.

I added the extra wiring years ago & all worked OK until I changed the main lamp then I started getting the problems.
So you think t he B bug-eye unit is working it still has the same 4 connections as the other ones.
