first time joining this forum...
glad to hear that tactually there are people who really love to have n
opel. I've been fanatic with opel/vauxhall since 1989 when
cavalier /vectra a was so popular in the BTCC.
Im using vectra a 8 valve for abt 2 yrs and its really reliable
eventhough the previous owner not really taking care of the car. So i
spend out a lots of money to rebuild and maintain again the car. I
started from one workshop to another until i know how to manage this.
The best way to do is , to send ur car to Opel in jln tandang and get it
for full diagnostic including mechanical,electrical and ECU for engine
and gearbox. The cost less then RM200. Then with the check list, you go
to Jitt Soon spare part shop at Jln Ipoh, and buy the spare parts. can be
consider cheap there.
The brake pad cost about RM100plus only. Can use Jurid for the back, for
the front i cant remember, something like allied... or even lucas also
have. The front brake pad is about the same like peugeot but i cant
remember which model. The bearing some of it same like isuzu.
Or even to get it cheaper, try to order straight from UK as its very
cheap (even after conversion).
Got one mechanic in Batu Caves, behind petronas, the shop call R&R
orkshop if im not mistaken.. his name is LAN used to work with Opel and a
lots of car financing,bank send opel car to him to fix before resell back
the car.
Potong kereta, you can find with hakitrade, seng hup (segambut one), also
near to Lan's workshop.
But unfortunately, my car have problem with the gearboxs recently where i
need to replace it. I try with hakitrade and found out 3 gearboxs also
cannot be use. Damn, im so unlucky. Now still in delemma, wheather to
repair the box or to replace it with second hand one.
Im thinking of open up opel club if anyone interested so we can have more
gathering and also think on how to overcome the spareparts issue.
Like peugeot, they are very lucky as got 1 spare part shop who very cheap
and lots of mechanic are very good and the price very reasonable.
I think this is too long already. I will write again if needed.
Go and search for vauxhall cavalier in web and sure u will find out a lot
of info. Ppl like andy kirwan, is very experience guy with opel/vauxhall
car.
my car still in the workshop in subang to get fix the gearbox. My timing
belt also about to change already.
If you guys bump into my cr wdt2433 black opel vectra a, dont wait..just
horn and we become friend. My front sportlight using VR4 one and i guess
need to change it as the light always blow.
see yaaa......
