I saw a calibra as a smelly school kid one day , then one day I bought my dream car , tuned it, modified it , done the grand theft auto thing with it and then gave it to a very dodgy garage, needless to say , the engine ended up in the boot the garage ripped me off, I ended up scrapping the entire car , very sad end to my school boy dream , never mind the ex Mrs , that was more horrific

It's funny how British reviewers claim Vauxhall this Vauxhall that. Truth is that they had minimal input on the design and engineering of any Vauxhall vehicle since the last car they designed independently of Opel. The original Viva. Since then Vauxhall models have been just production variations of the equivalent Opel or models supplied by other GM divisions or partners.

aparently this is how smart charging alternators work. output between 13.8-14.4v. mine does tha same now. i have installed an usb charger in the lighter socket, wich has a voltmeter display. rarely i see 14.4v. usually os 14.0-14.2
@DreamTripper6 жыл бұрын
If you look at the very begining it was around 11v. The voltage is around 13.8 and 14.4 due to the amount of current being taken.
@tgyuri20036 жыл бұрын
aparently is the belt tensioner that is screwing the alternator pulley. have a look on ebay item 172457586528. this seller says so, might make sense.

This was my 3rd car, Actually I remember it being a head turner at the time, and was quite fast, also very desired by the car thieves, and hence that was its fate, stolen then burnt and found like so many other on a mountain near Swansea, completely burnt out.

@SaucyBegger25 I think it's very varied. The cavalier is one of those cars that is driven by everyone older pepole, young people rich and poor. I have a 1.6 cavalier and the insurance was £1600 when i was 18 but it didn't stop me driving it.

Mine is the V6 version. But the review here is justified. It looks great, but the rest, even the quality, is ordinary. I just wish that they had been able to base the chassis on a shortened Omega. The rear wheel drive would have been more fun! B-)
@barthoedemaker15 жыл бұрын
Yes, the position you sit in the car, and how it handles is amazing. Although it's opel, i would take it over an beemer. The 2 litre turbo 4 x 4 can be screaming fast. Factory top speeds are not all trough. A stock 115 bhp can do 220 km/h.

Putting a camshaft sensor into one now. They are severely underpowered for how they look. The model i have now is a perfect example of the car, green, cream leather, just look at the haynes manual and thats it. Its a great looking car though, and the 2.0 puts out this nice rasp when you accelerate hard
