well done for saving her most people would have just left her to end her days on the banger track if you think you've got a hard task ahead of you just take a look at gregs lx project thread now thats what i call dedecation i brought an x reg 1.3 base model 2 years ago and i still have not got round to finishing it ;D ;D

ive just booked both the asconas in for billing what a nightmare > > i got cut off 3 times then had to phone another number and got cut off yet again and when i finally got to talke to somebody i was informed the i could not get the vboa discount unless i booked 2 nights what a rip off > > >

ive found a countdown timer for billing but i don't know how to post it up on here http://www.timeanddate.com/counters/customcounter.html?msg=30th+birthday+bash+at+billing&day=02&month=07&year=2011&hour=00&min=00&sec=00&p0=0

looks like ypu've done a smashing job of restoring her 8) as a matter of interest the reg no of the gold cav b32 npv was originally from suffolk where i live so it looks like she's well traveled

you have got to bring these 2 little gems to billing in july they look fantastic 8) 8)

welcome to the madhouse you will feel right at home here ;D

now let me take a wild guess ive got it i can't see any b****s lol ;D ;D

don't worry mate we are all gluttons for punishment in one form or another glad to see another 2 cavs saved ;D ;D

you wanted something big how about one of these then ;D http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1993-VAUXHALL-CARLTON-LIMOUSINE-BLACK-6-DOOR-/150534061412?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item230c877d64

they where hard to overtake tho you cound not see past it because of the smokescreen they left behind them lol ;D

i hope to be able to answer some of your questions thecav lx is getting a bit thin on the ground especially in saloon form it depends how attached you to her the best option if funds are limited is to only use her for 6 months of the year in summer insure her on a classic car policy i recomend lancasters i only use my ascona from april through to to september and the cdi as a daily driver it on cost me £93 fully comp for the ascona with a 3000 mile limit and £112 for 6 months road tax we don't usually get involved in the how much is it worth debates except went some dealer buys a cav cheap and then trys to sell it at a vastly inflated price the car is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it if you do keep the car then joining the club is £15 well spent as it will give you access to lots of friendly advice and difficult to source parts hope this answers some of your questions oh and as for webuyanycar.com offering you £50 for your cav tell them to politley f**k off ;D ;D

hello fellow ascona owner email them to me and i will post them up for you

hi mate welcome to the site there are plenty of people on here who can give you hints and tips on keeping your cav on the road i assume the engine is an 1.8e injection so first thing to do is check the air inlet pipe from the airflow meter to manifold for splits or leaks plus the 2 hoses that go to and from the air bypass valve an air leak on thse hoses with cause the airflow meter to provide more fuel to compensate for the air leaks and will make engine tick over high

loss of compression :o or did you mean lots of compression :D

lol your not far wrong there when we unloaded all the spare parts out of her we hoovered out 2 dust bags full of rat s**t :o smells a bit sweeter now thou :D
