      Our 'official' group over on Facebook is https://www.facebook.com/groups/MK2CAV/?multi_permalinks=8417588218291557&notif_id=1725648589734459&notif_t=group_activity&ref=notif   Put your parts advert on there and here as well. The late rear lights are much more valuable than the mid or early spec.

      the trick with the steering wheel is NOT to remove the nut completely, leave it on a couple of threads or you can end up smacked in the face...

      I have a steering wheel puller if you need to borrow it for the cost of the postage.

      Hi All   I recently bought a Mk2 cavalier - i have added a lot of info on facebook, so apologies for any duplication   This is my fourth mk2 cav, but there has been around 25 years between them. She was bought on ebay, sight unseen in Bideford - only a 500 mile round trip!  I took my good friend Martin down with me in my Vectra B estate all loaded with oil, coolant, tools, jump back, jack and a jerry can of petrol. We left my house in Essex at just gone 6am and got home at about 10pm. The little green cavvy was excellant, apart from the starter packing up at hook services, but a qick bump start and we were back on our way.   She has been to the garage for pre MOT check and she needs a couple of bits of welding which i am getting priced up. The idea will be to take her back to as close as stock as possible so the splitter hand grill have been removed and the reflective number plate panel & steering will be off in the next couple of days. Then i will get the welding done and the starter motor. Next up will be springs, shocks and exhaust before we move on to the timing belt, brakes (discs and pads) and steel wheels.    I assume getting any replacements for the green interior will be like hens teeth so not sure what i will do with the drivers seat as it has a metal bar showing at side. Changed the plugs, oil and coolant yesterday   Plenty to do and she will never be perfect, but she will survive
