Matt O-SRi

Welcome to the club, I was only thinking the other day I ownder what had ever happened to this particular SRi Join up and start a new project thread, whats your plans for it then?

Welcome back Jim

Hi Caroline, welcome to the club!! Post some pics of your Cav up so we can see it! Any problems just mail the pics to me and I'll post them up for you

Some nice history there mate, and welcome to the site

If it is just the head gasket thats gone thats quite easy to replace. Do you really need to touch all the valves etc?

I'd leave the sticker off mate. One thing though could you do some research and get some original photos of the Cav when it was a prize back in the 80's? That would make a nice bit of nostalgia

They just dont want the job mate. Its all simple stuff and they should be more than qualified to do the job and you dont need a new clutch just because the engines out, thats rubbish. I'd certainly have a go yourself. I did the head gasket on my SRi, its very easy. Where are you in the country. Bring it to mine and we'll sort the head gasket

I recognise that SRi, its Simmys old one. Nice one for buying it and welcome to the site

I will post them up for you Jason, no probs mate. You should join and become a member and start a project thread

I'd definatly be interested in more pics mate. Email them over and I'll do the rest

That is a cracking story behind the GLS, cheers for sharing that with us. Like Dawn said so glad its staying as Mr Vauxhall intended. It truly is a rare stunner! Good luck with both projects and glad to have you on board and you HAVE to come to Billing 2011. Its awesome!!

According to the DVLA ....... The enquiry is complete The vehicle details for A662 UGF are: Date of Liability 01 11 1996 Date of First Registration 15 12 1983 Year of Manufacture 1983 Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1796CC CO2 Emissions Not Available Fuel Type Petrol Export Marker Not Applicable Vehicle Status Unlicensed Vehicle Colour WHITE Vehicle Type Approval Vehicle Excise Duty Rate for vehicle 6 Months Rate £112.75 12 Months Rate £205.00 Looks like it died in 96 Jason :'( The reason why your old saloon SRi had black Recaros in it was that all early SRi's and SR's had either the Black Highland Check or the Beige Trim in the same pattern. Your current SRi is whats known as a 'mid spec' model. These had an altered interior in them. Recaro 'type' seats and quite a few different features, different speedo cluster to name one of them

They both look fantastic mate. Welcome aboard! Tell us some more history on the GLS, it looks awesome
