XE throttle cable

[Jack]

Need to get one for my Nova, so moseyed up to halfrauds to see if they could supply one. Lee advised a Cav GSi cable is the one to get - however, they don't even have this model listed. In fact they only list 8v engines for both Cavaliers and Astras, no 16v engines whatsoever. I was looking for 1995 and older cars, i.e. <N reg, thinking an ecotec one would be different.

Will an 8v one fit? Or should I look for later models, i.e. an ecotec cable?

Nah, you really want an XE cable.

Find a Calibra at a scrapyard would be my advice.

Andrew Pages sell them
i got one from them last year.

Ransomes in Frome, assuming you and Craig are that local to it in Somerset anyway!

[craig green]

Is that a scrapyard?

Is it any good?

[GRUNT 16V]

Ransome scrappie is just down the road for me!! and defo no redtops down there !! trust me!! and cables from vauxhall are about ?50-60 ouch!!

[craig green]

Usually a rotten Calibra or 2 in our scrappies here. I'll keep an eye out Jack.

could try angel autos on the road to dorchester, i think they already have most of the parts on shelves now. never use halfords lol they tried to convince me that a zetec rocker cover gasket was for my 1.4 8b nova engine lol stupid lil student chavs haha

Ransomes is pretty good its only small though, but usually a lot of vauxhalls down there, however if you go to jones's in devizes im sure they have one as i seen an xe calibra there not long ago

i had problems trying to sorce one of these vauxhall said they could get one but 2weeks down the line still nothing so cancelled the order

I've used a Calibra one on two conversions now and found it to be slightly too long so have had to put a jubilee clip on to allow me to get full throttle. The others that i've used an Astra GTE cable on have been fine.

No rush now, the chief mechanic cant be assed to turn up tomorrow LOL

[Jack]

All sorted now, thank'ee Riggy :D
