Calibra 4x4 Turbo

by trev150 » Sat Jan 30, 2010 8:53 pm

I have just picked up another Calibra.

This one is a 4x4 Turbo which makes a change from the 2 x V6's i have owned in the past. It joins my Astra Coupe Turbo on the driveway.

It was bought from Bob today.

Despite a small sun roof mis-hap during the test drive all was good.

It was a choice of this Calibra Turbo or Vectra GSI or Honda Accord Type-R.

This was the mrs last choice and as a result of buying the turbo "I'm in the dog house"!!!!


She'll come round...... :alright:

Trev, it was a pleasure to meet you and the family today. Did the trip home go OK ?

I can't apologise enough about the sunroof mishap. :banging: It really annoyed me, but I should have known better than to try a Calibra sunroof in almost sub zero temperature. :roll:

You don't know how pleased I feel knowing it has gone to someone like yourself.

Cheers, Bob.

I removed the roof lining when i got in but now i can see that i did not need to.

If you remove the centre cap near the interior light you can see a screw that holds a little gear wheel in. If you remove this you can use a large screw driver to manually wind the sun roof closed.

I just need to source the replacement parts now.

Also thanks for letting the kids use the toilet it made it a quiet journey back :D
