Hows ya do that then you clever little monkey?
bought one these :)
http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NDkxWDQ5MQ==/$(KGrHqR,!k4E8-Mf8KzdBPZ5wFhLMg~~60_12.JPG
tock the silver bit of the cig lighter out of the white plastic suround, then the usb chager will snuggly fit into the white suround like in the pic
(no need for glue or anything as it sits in tight)
wiring.. take apart and remove the side metal bits off charger and solder 2 wires off the board, then put it bk together so nothing is exposed then add 2 spade connectors
so they plug n play with the oem plug :thumb:
i just finished my cav one to :)

Someone stole my idea lol I planned to put a USB socket on my dash but when it runs on a funny voltage I never bothered to work out how to step it down. I'd still rather just see it like the side off a laptop but top work all the same
Think ill swipe that idea, local Maplins sell them, but my ashtray refuses to open without snapping the back off it for some reason so ill drill a hole inside the glovebox and mount it there i think as ill need something for satnav/phone charging when im at Billing and National weekend lol
on my old sr the tray use to flop as that had snapped to lol go to love bonky old vauxhalls :)
The metal spring thing on the dash that holds it open appears to be too tight and just simply wont let it open, its started to crack so ive left it closed for now, but ive sanded the lip down on the ashtray itself, and greased it too, but its still not playing ball :cry:
been on a scrappy mission today :)
i go once a week to see what new in etc this one has all the older cars come in etc
walking round n spotted this in the far end the 3 spoke caught my eye, so made my way over
was greeted by this 90 style cavy

got the 4x4 out today as the sun was out and went for a blast over the mountain roads :)
god i missed this car, and forgot how comfy the connelley reacoro's are but...
Think ive lost looks on my 4x4 since ive had my white one :( to sell or to break?.. with all the engine, tbs omex management and so on
it maybe something to do with that i got 2 cav gsi's and drive a gsi as a daily??..... who knows

Now that is a awesome find I think the best I have found is a plastic dolls leg and some stamps. What's the plans for the cav
Nice find that easily worth price on its own and more for boot of parts!always liked white cavs
I couldn't believe it myself , was on a farm over a pit in a barn for years
um tbh ive sold bits already off it, so she looks like shes a breaker
it only needs a arch on the n/s sills are solid also has cav turbo leather
