Mine was drivers side, water was gathering mainly in the back but was also wet in the front too like Andy said.
After cleaning out the 2 drain holes and taking a heat gun to the carpet all was well.
Hope this info helps.
Mine was a 21st birthday present (which I chose). In my opinion it's better than a watch/ring/etc... which can get scratched/damaged/lost. It's virtually impossible to lose the right to the registration unless you are completely careless.
I must admit though, it's a right pain in the **** when...
All you should need is a clutch kit which comprises: Pressure plate, clutch cover & a release bearing. It would be wise to have some brake/clutch fluid handy too incase you have to disconnect the clutch fluid pipe that goes to the slave cylinder.
Sounds like a stuck open thermostat to me. Mine's exactly the same. Not looking forward to changing it though as it's behind the timing belt on the 2.6.
Try disconnecting the fuel tank sender at the fuel tank end then short out the 2 pins on the wiring loom going to the dash with the ignition on. If the guage rises quickly (like instantly) then you know it's the sender in the tank at fault. If it takes ages then it's the guage on the dash...
I agree. It's very common for cars that do mostly short journeys to suffer these symptoms.
The reason for the constant steam from the exhaust is due to a build up of water in the exhaust boxes that never really gets burnt off as you don't drive the car enough.
The milky residue in the filler...
Thanks for your comments guys (especially Craig). I think I'll go for them as I'm not after a harsh ride I just want the car to sit nice on my RS6 18s. I should hopefully get some soon and I'll report back on them once fitted for the benefit of the forum.
In it's defence though, the turbo version was the very first production car in the world to have All Wheel Drive AND the 8v version was (and I think it still is) the most aerodynamic production car in the world!!
All in all that's not bad for a lack lustre Vauxhall coupe methinks.

I used to own one many years ago. I loved it at the time (I was young) but I wouldn't have another one. I had a S14a 200SX afterwards putting out 250BHP and the difference between the 2 really showed the Calibra for what it was (a Cavalier in ladies clothing!!)
As the title suggests, since I lowered my car 60mm on 18's I've had an annoying knocking noise over rough ground from the front suspension. I'm suspecting the suspension arms are to blame but has anyone else had this and if so, which arms are most likely to be the culprits? I should mention that...
I have these shocks:

And these springs...
We're not all bad you guys. I work on the service desk in a Toyota dealer and our philosophy for diagnosis is to have a look free of charge (even if it's a warning light we don't charge) then quote a price to repair. We even offer more discount the older the car is too!! I used to be a mechanic...
