General information -



So here we have my Corsa. Mods are:

Lowered 40mm
Corsa C 15" alloys
Front alloy strutbrace
Tow bar
Nova GSI steering wheel
Pod LCD rev gauge
Subaru Impreza seats on Corsa subframes
Irmscher door pins
Sub/amp covert boot install under a false floor
2 x 6x9s in an MDF parcel shelf
Head unit with iPod lead plumbed behind dash

It's on 101k miles, I've owned it since 89k and in that time I've:
Done 3 oil changes, and filter, new air filter, replaced the diesel injectors.

At 100k (nearly on the dot) I did the cam belt and changed the oil.

The car does 56mpg pretty much however you drive it. It's not quick, but it'll happily cruise at 70mph. No crunches or gearbox issues. No issues with the engine.

It comes with a factory fitted cat 1 imobiliser and starts without fail everyday.

Only bad points I can think of is there's a tiny patch of rust, around the size of a 10p on the driver's door sill. I have painted over it before, but it's popped back through, just needs sanding and blowing in again.
Front n/s headlight has a small crack and a small hole in the glass so could do with replacing at some point.

Looking for an Astra van mk3 or 4. With similar mileage, I can put money into the right deal. Possibly a Combo van if it's in good nick.
