Hello

Metallicav · Post by **Metallicav** » Thu May 01, 2014 7:26 pm

Hello I'm Elliot, I'm 17 and soon to pass my driving test, I currently have a Vw Polo to learn in but remembered about the Cavaliers that my brothers had and they just stuck out from other cars I've seen. Good looking cars that are be reliable when looked after and I've managed to get first refusal on a Satin Red N reg Ls saloon TD, just up the road from me when the owners move in a few months, the plan is to drive the polo for the first year after passing my test while getting the td as clean as I can if I manage to buy it and then try to get insured on the Cav. I'll probably have a few questions before and after I finally get to look over it.

Elliot

Hello and welcome to the forum, you'll find all the help, advice and spare parts hard to find here, have a browse, see other people's threads, maybe for inspirations etc, but sounds like you've got a good plan lined up already. Coming from a small car, the Cavalier will feel heavy and long to drive at first, but easy to get used to and bloody comfortable on a cruise. Especially the heavier models.

You've got the right idea, keep the cheap runabout and build up your first year's no-claims, then move onto the bigger car. That's how it's done.

I'm guessing by your username that you're into Rock?

Andrei.

Yeah I am into my rock and metal Andrei, I picked my username as it was the only good one I could think of haha. I have been viewing the site for a while but only just decided to join up, I was unsure of joining up without yet owning a cavalier, but after about 9 months of being sure of wanting to own one I thought now would be the time to join

Well you've come to the right place!!!

I'm all about Deathcore, Thrash, Alternative, even partial to some Black metal in the evening to chill out to, basically if you ever hear a Cavalier cruise by with Suicide Silence blaring out, chances are, it's me

Finally bought it

the red TD Cav is coming home tomorrow, pictures and a WIP will follow shortly

it's done 240k and has just had a new timing belt, water pump and thermostat, shortly after he had done those things the clutch started slipping, so he bought a mk4 astra and has now sold the cav to me for £240

Nice work on securing a TD, they are getting rarer in decent condition but I am sure you'll find it not to expensive to insure as the companies still seem to have lower groupings for the diesel cars and with the right mods a TD cav can really shift.

Enjoy the forums

Yeah that's the reason I decided to go for a TD, from what I saw it seemed to work out roughly the same as a 1.6 to insure. Saloon TDs seem to be quite rare these days aswell.
