My steering rack has been changed 3 times and it still clunks. Its just the way they are. OK it didsn't clunk for a few weeks after they fixed it but it will come back, guarenteed.:(

please dont start me on corsa c's

I hate mine. Went in on wedensday to book mine in about suspension and steering that clunks. Drove home from work yesterday and my heater fan has stopped working for the third time :mad: :mad:

Has gone in today today at another dealership to have the brakes checked cause they are rubbing. Only had disks and pads done the other week.

Also thinking about writing a letter at vauxhall and telling them how disapointed i am with my car and that my familly are loyal to vauxhall (memebers worked at luton), giving them a prober sob story, and telling them i will never recomend or buy a new vauxhall again.

I think my car has been in around 24 times in the two and half years if owned. Endless list of problems.

I know it is a cheap car, but i dont expect it to keep having faults.

Seriously thinking of selling and buying a cheap banger and going the bangernomics route

According to mine I get about 5 miles to a gallon... :rolleyes:

I filled car up the other day and reset trip thingy... done about 64 miles and according to the thing I've used about 25-30 litres already! :lol:

I had it on the red for about 3 days the other day before filling it back up (and still wasn't even near empty)

Had no probs with mine, but the accuracy. The last half tank (on guage) is about a quarter of the the tank...
That said compaired to the GSI it's amazingly accurate... GSI goes from full to empty depending on slope you're on... lol

there is a problem with the instrument panels on the can line. a new instrument usually sorts it out

Mine done this the other day. The petrol light wasn't on when I parked the car in the morning but when I started it later on the light was flashing, so I went to the nearest garage and put £10 worth in. This didn't register for about 5 mins which was quite worrying.:|

I'm really starting to not like these cars anymore.

Mine is not very accurate, it can be on ¾ of a tank 1 min then it goes down to ½ within 5 mins! i try not to let it get too low incase its wrong and i run out!
I took a nice list to my first service
steering rack, passenger door switch, boot struts, brake pads, interior light, dodgy clutch! got everything sorted like so fair play to them.

Mine seems to do it when i'm fairly low on petrol (a quarter of a tank or below)

What it does it reads the wrong amount. One example was the other day when i started the engine up and the gauge didn't move at all, nor did the petrol light come on. Then i switched it off and started it again and it went up a bit and the light flashed (like it does when its extremely low). Then i turned it off again and re-started and it went up to just over a quarter (the correct amount)

Has anyone else ever had this problem? I'm booking it in for its first service next week, so i'll get them to have a look at it along with the other 6 pages of things that i want sorted out.
