Since i have had Opel calibra my power windows never worked, whenever i pressed the window switch nothing happened. So i decided to bypass the original conection and made my own window switches whitch work great.
Now i have decided to troubleshoot this problem as i want the extra features of the OEM wiring as my windows go too far up and when i close the door not making it seal properly. I just started by putting the original switch from my 2 calibra for spares. havent had any luck yet.

Answer:

Under the centre console, just near the handbrake is a plug that joins the loom from the power windows and trip computer to the main loom

Mine where playing up and i found the issue there, the plug wasn’t pushed in correctly

Does anybody know where i could get my hands on a clutch cable new in melbourne. i need a c25xc .
i have spoken to holden and they dont make or stock them anymore.

Answer:

Opel’s dealers probably don’t want to know.
Your Cally is more or less 10 Years old, Theres still Parts in the Holden Warehouse for Geminis. Get a Part Number, Goto a Dealer, Don’t tell them what it is or what it’s for.

Up until 3 years ago, I was buying Genuine Isuzu Parts from Holden for Geminis and Piazza.
They have to carry Parts, A Average Service book goes up to 15 years after sale Service.

havent actually taken notice and measured.
what is the standard speakr size in the front doors? and is there space to go bigger without modifying the door cards?

Ive noticed that the boot is rather shallow, so my original plan of 2 15′s is gonna be a tight squeeze..its gonna be a custom setup though.

Answer:

fronts you’ll fit 6″ easily, rear you’ll fit 6.25″ easily. i have 2 12′s in the boot, you wont fit much more in.. you could do 15′s if you really need the extra 3 inches.

If you take the spare wheel out, use that cavity for a nice sub……

It’s probably the best place to mount one, both for looks and sound quality/effect

In my Calibra, I’ve installed Alpine 5 and 1/4″ splits up front on custom made bases, inside the door cards, but as stated above you can fit up to 6 and 1/2″ speakers.

Only problem with these, is that the hole on the door card will be too small and to get the best sound out, it would be best to enlarge them, otherwise you could just mount the speakers on the outer face of the door cards

is it easy to do myself? or should i rather take it to an auto electrician?
Ive heard its pretty simple, but havent actually done it, or seen anyone do it.

Answer:

I’m also doing “substantial” mods to my car and i had an aditional tachometer for a while.

I always found myself looking at the OEM one anyway and found the the OEM one was better. and didn’t get in the way like the aftermarket one did (mainly due to my small interior).

Quite frankly i think it was a waste of my time, money and effort.
