    FS: Vauxhall Cavalier 1.8i GLS

    onward - SRi Beg to differ - the factory fitted alloy wheels as standard on the GLS from 1993. The same wheels were fitted as standard on the LS from 1995 until the end of production. These are not the same as those fitted to the 2.0 16V or the V6 as they were five-stud. If your's hasn't...

    Disassembly of MK3 Astra (late model) mirrors

    They're an absolute pig to take to pieces without breaking the plastic clips inside the cover. I backed my car into my gate (in the dark) and the whole mirror came apart - in the ensuing struggle to put it back together I snapped the clips and have ended up holding it together with the aid of...

    Airconditioning

    I've got the same model car and the clutch on my air-con compressor was partially seized when I bought the car. I took it back to the dealer who replaced the compressor under warranty. When I asked the mechanic who replaced it about costs, he reckoned it was cheaper to get a new compressor...

    some the the Yes - I followed those instructions as well but no joy - the lock mechanism busted in the frost about three weeks ago, and I had the ring thingy replaced - I wonder if that damaged the 1st phase switch?

    The back of my Astra is lob-sided

    Got out of the car tonight and when I looked at it from the rear, it is sat lower on the off-side than the near-side (on a flat car park) Just to check it wasn't my eyesight playing tricks on me, I checked the gap between the top of the tyres and the arches. Sure enough, the gap on the...
