im sure there used to be a couple of nova owners on here who were used to playing with the car, cant remember their names though.

might be worth heading onto an enthusiasts forum whre you can get more specific help :]

not a big job just make sure you get the right side

(for all it costs just get btoth the long and short cable (lot easier and quicker with shiney new bits for all they cost) can be a pita if its been modded and had discs put on the back iirc you need a mk1 cav short cable but dont quote me on that its been a good 7/8 years since i last lay under a nova

nope only thing that changed was the appearance

new front wings headlights bumpers grill (facelift) and the interior trims

everything else was pretty much the same

its a nova, nova tigra and corsa are all the same car mechanically
