hi, yeah just need to know what that plastic trim is called that runs along the windscreen, where the wipers are? apparently its called a scuttle tray or scuttle trim or something, but i cant find anywhere that sells them. anyone know a part number for this part? basically my car kept dieing...

yeah that helps thanks! i wasnt sure because the alternator belt seems to go round the cams aswell but im guessing its chain driven inside? i needed to be sure because the price difference between a cam belt and alternator belt is quite abit so yeah thanks i know wht t buy now!

thanks for the responses! i had already orderd a new airfilter wen i made that post, i just needed to kno wht to do untill it arrived. It now has a brand new one on so tht is tht problem avoided! its deffinatly a 1L, and im sure it comes up on insurance as a 12v but i could b wrong, it could b...

hey guys, basically just need some advice on something thats hapened to my car recently. when i bought the car someone had put an air filter on, jus attached to the tube and hanging there (rather than going into the original air box), never had any problems but basically it got abit...

Thanks for the reply, the problem seems to of gone for now but no doubt it will come back. It's the 1L 2001 version. Also does anyone know how much it costs at a pannel beaters to get a dent in the boot beaten out? cheers

hey guys, iv had my corsa for about 5months now and i only drive provisionally but iv racked up nearly 4000 miles from doing a nearly 80mile round trip to work and back everyday. Just tonight i have experienced a problem with the power steering. i was practicing some 3 point turns in a quiet...

pics up of what man? the sub wiring? x

i think the head unit works fine because it works with everything else unless just the sub out wire is screwed. i tested my sub out in my mates car the other day because he has the exact same one, and it worked fine. i think this means that i need a new wiring kit from fusion which will cost...

hey people, i have a double fusion sub with an inbuilt amp wired up to my car with 2 6x9's aswell. iv had this set up for months and its always worked perfectly. Yesterday when i turned on my car i noticed it wasnt working at all. Iv checked all the connections from the sub to the cd player and...

iv been looking at aftermarket girlls for cheap but from my research apparently you cant get aftermarket ones for a corsa c pre facelift. the only ones available are irmsher or steinmetz which obviously look better but i dont really want to pay £150 for a grill!

update on the de-badging, i sucessfully de-badged the back of my car by doing the method i mentioned before but then using a bit of petrol on a sponge to wipe off the adhesive. this worked suprsingly well and hasnt left any marks on the car. the paint is slightly faded where the letters were but...

yeah i think it could either be wheel bearings or buckled wheel. the garage told me i can get the buckled wheel sorted out for about £30 which seems good to me. i'll get this fixed and then see if the problem persists thanks for the help

no, fortunatly it was only the cv joint, but i had the gear linkage replaced last week, so ive spend about £200 on repairs in total and only had the car for 2months! although the cv joint has been replaced i cant help but think that the drive shaft should have been replaced aswell becuase when i...

not sure when it was last serviced, iv only had the car for about 2months though. I think its up for MOT in july, so its been a while. I got the car back last night and luckily it was only the CV joint that needed replacing so cost me £50 plus labour.

if i turn the engine on, then it sounds ok, but as soon as i touch the clutch and try to use the gears the noise starts. i should hopfully have it back from the garage tonight and i'l report back what the problem was. thanks for the feedback

no it doesnt drive. it had to be towed 4miles and for that time it was making the horrible noise all the way. im really hoping its just the cv joint becuase i dont particularly want to fork out for a new drive shaft aswell. if it was just the cv joint would it be making this noise?

also does anyone know how much 30mm lowering would add to an insurance premium?

should one inform an insurance company of debadging? if so does it affect insurance?

i did it on a vauxhall corsa c about a week ago, used a hairdryer,pliers,dental floss and a cloth (with warm water to remove what was left). this method works a treat provided they are stuck on with adhesive. i think with a vw polo, removing the "VW" badge will leave an indent of a circle on the...

Got it back the other day with an invoice for £150 but i dont mind because it works a treat. feels good to change gears smoothly again lol. new problem tho, just started a new thread for it. Its gone back to the garage today for a CV joint and possibly a driveshaft? been quoted £50 for CV joint...

iv only owned my corsa for about 2months and iv already had to replace the full gear linkage which cost me £150. I was driving home the other day and just when i was pulling into my village i heard a massive clunk sound as if something had fallen from underneath and was being dragged along. I...

haha this is such a good find!

yeh that looks like a pretty decent job. anyone know where i can get hold of some primer/2k paint like that? cheers

not a bad ride man, i agree, once its been lowerd and de badged it'll look sweet as a nut

anyone know how easy/hard it is to paint silver alloys to black? and how permenant it is? ie. likley to scratch off or fade easily? i assume there is a special kind of paint to use and if so how much would it cost? i would really love some black alloys but cant afford any new ones thanks.

its red but hpoefully will polish out cheers

thanks alot guys i'll have a look tonight. its booked in for the garage tomorrow for a whole new linkage for £100 hopeully its just slipped out and doesnt need the whole part! thanks again

I know that de bageing isnt too hard but just wandering if anyone has had any problems (marking paint etc.) when de badgeing a corsa c or is it just a simple case of a hair dryer and some pliers. also does anyone have any reccomendations on lowering springs and what are the difference between...

probably sounds like a stupid question but where abouts is the part that needs popping back into place so i can have a look. is it like behind the engine block or what? cheers

my mate had a 1.5 honda civic saloon that he bought for £200 because it had a cracked manifold. he drove it round for about 5months before crashing it. the car ran fine but it just didnt have quite as much power as it should of for a 1.5. not sure about long term but deffinatly shouldnt be too...

lol so you recon its easy enough to do it ourselves? because i really dont fancy paying labour charge. is that usually that part would go do you think? or is it more likely to be something more complex do you know?

i dont know tbf. basically 1st,2nd and reverse dont work proparly. sometimes it feels like your in 2nd but your actuallly in 4th, and sometimes i go to first and its actually in reverse. everyone on forums say its the gear linkage apparently vauxhall made this part out of plastic instead of...

iv heard this is a common problem with the corsa but the other day my gears started to go abit funny. iv done a bit of research on this and apparently its a very common problem with the gear linkage. iv been quoted £100 for the part + labour at my local garage. does anyone know hard it would be...

sounds like a good idea, i'll tlk to the admin ;)

for the same price as a remap you could get yourself a performance manifold and backbox which could add 20+bhp. i would also reccomend drilled and grooved brake disks for a bit extra, although these are quite expencive

yeye all good iv got 13 haha

ahh right sweet the edit signature wasnt there before cheers dude

are we allowed signatures on here?

does a remap only add 5-8 bhp? i thought itd be more than that

haha well yeh i did think that if it did work then it would either already be in fuel or everyone would be doing it. just thought i should double check though and see what other people thought about it. i dont think id dare try it anyway tbh just incase cheers for the feedback
