DONT heat the actual gear nob, twist and pull it off, it does come off if you use some force, then you will probably be left with the yellowy-white bit that holds the gearnob to the gear stick, this is what you could heat up or as i did, get some mole grips on it and rip the fooker off!

Ok, i was intending on keeping the old one so a hacksaw jobby wasn't on the cards.

You don't cut knob off as suggested above..

Just a bit pressure on it..Twisting and pulling and it will come eventually..

yeah melt the fucker off lol!

apparently you can get the gear knob off by using a hair dryer on the thing then pulling on it. Although i would look at using a paint stripper (heat gun jobby), it will warm it up nicely :D (although dont stick it too close, otherwise the currently knob will melt ;))

coloured dial are easy to do, just take ur time with it so u dont break any thing!

yesh i know they probably cost £9 to machine (if that). however does look the bollox.

sheesh! Hoooow much for a little knob?

- No jokes please ;)

Oh yeah, one more...

Is it much hassle to put coloured dials in?

Cheers all.

Sorry guys but these have to be asked :)

I have been flicking through the help and FAQ threads but some seem to be empty so here goes...

1. I have just bought a M reg 8v 1.4 Corsa - i keep seeing Corsa C & B names being used. Am i Corsa B, yeah?

2. The only exterior body work i intend on doing in the near future is a rear spoiler preferably with a LED. How much am i looking for the price this?

3. Gear knob - I've read about it can either be a pain in the arse or easy to get it off so when i pick it up tomorrow im going to have a bash at it. Because of the gear lift for reverse i was wondering if there is any specific knobs that people recommend or frequently use?

Thats all! I shall probably frequent here with more pathetic newbie questions, but hey, we are all new once.

Cheers guys.
