Yeah i would want that too, But!! i've only been driving for 8 months on 3rd party under my parents name. So i aint got no n/c bonus on nothing.

Hard to find a decent XE (that is the 2.0 litre right)?

Might jus consider selling the car and gettin a Civic or A3??? I do really wanna keep the Corsa tho, cos its my 1st car and really fond of it now.
And i know its gona be real hard to find the same spec engine with the unique Car colour that i have.

would there be any performance parts i can throw in when i get the gasket fixed?

coz recently jus got a full sservice and camblet kit changed. so i reckon if i get this problem fixed, the car wont have much problems after????


dont speak too soon, cars are just one problem after another especially mine:o


Yeh true!!
had my service at the beginning of last month and paid £350 for a full service and cambelt kit change.
Looks like more £££ now, which i was gonna start spending doing subtle body mods.

Whilst driving my car today to go watch the footie, it had broke down and steam coming out in all direction from under the hood. water from the tank had been leaking real bad as well.

AA eventually came and done a couple of test on it to find out what the problem was, "Gasket failer mate" he said.

I was like "Sh!t".

Does anyone no how much it is to get this fixed, and what other parts are also fcuked including prices also.

Cheers Everyone.
And also Well Done To Liverpool. ;)
