hi all i have a vauxhall cavalier k reg 2L 4x4i, driving up the M1 the other
night there was a horrible whining noise, then a thud, then the 4x4 light
came on, when i stopped to check it out, there was no burning smells,
nothing looked snapped, i started the motor and it ran fine, it got me home,
can anyone tell me if this will be expensive to repair.

regards

sounds like the transfer box

pull fuse 19 and run 2wd

you honestly dont want to know how expensive this will be to repair. Put it
this way go buy another Car if you need 4x4 it will be cheaper

yeah fuse 19 shall be coming out, read about it on cavweb, i love this car,
the body work is perfect, i have the leather seats to go in, just done the
digital clock, looking at installing the digital dash, the car is always
going to be a work in progress so keeping it is what i'll do, now to search
around for all the parts lol. Hey anybody in the selby area want to help i
will be more than gratefull. (got to try lol)
 
I'd come give you a hand but sorry up here in Glasgow makes me a tad far
away :(


it really isnt too difficult to convert over(use an F20) just remove all
the stuff you dont need and flog on ebay plenty 4x4 owners out there willing
to buy what you dont need

good luck on the digi dash swop btw done one into my own cavvy a couple of
months back and was a bit of a bugger :)

Glasgow my glasgow, im from glasgow, last place i lived was in partick, my
dad still lives there, he is in Knightswood, at the old bus station, nice
little house. I got married last week, he had to travel all the way to the
isle of wight for the wedding, darn now thats a drive and a half. i have
some money near the end of the month so im probably going to dump it at the
garage and see what they say, i did take out fuse 19 and the car sounded
better, but it has a noisey starter motor, so gonna get that sorted as well,
now that i have fixed the leak lol. bloody cars, then again it keeps me away
from the kids.

guess what i've done, bought a f20 4x4 gearbox including transfer box and
prop shaft, got it on auction, the car is running in 2wd at the moment with
no problems, took it to the garage local to me but he wasn't too sure of it,
he'd never worked on a 4x4 cav, might just strip the car down as i have
just bought a astra sri, bloody cars.
