tbh 150 quid (130 plus 20 tax) could be pissed away on one night out..so tbh for a years motoring i'd be laughing, insurance will be next to nothing | |

If you are looking for a project you could buy it on the principal you are just buying a corsa shell and then go from then. | |

So is there any point in spending money on this car, under the bonnet and on the exterior, as it is only a cheap car to begin with? | |

quote: mine was mega unreliable, always something needed fixing, eventually the head gasket went and it was cheaper to put a new engine in, after i had the new engine the EML was constantly on, changed the faulty sensor but never worked, sold it a few weeks later and the lad didnt check the water and cooked the new engine, I decided then and there not to buy a 16v vauxhall motor again. My mate also had a 1.4 sport on a P reg in white, always something going wrong with that, on the plus side it was good on fuel even when hammering it | |

Yep Ive seen a GLS on a L plate but it was the 1.4 8v lump as it had 1.4 Si written on the back, I had an N reg sport 1.4 16V, was the first of the sports, Sri 16 v are less common as they were introduced right at the end of the SRi line before it was rebadged as sport. | |

quote: You also had 1.4 16v pre-97 cars. I've seen a 16v N reg GLS :) Highly unlikely it'll be a 1.2 16v on a 1993. But for £130 and no MOT laws, you can't really go wrong :lol: | |

quote: unless its had an engine conversion then no, all the units in the corsa were 8v until the 16v GSi engine was introduced, think thats right as you can get a GSi on an L plate, where as the 16v SRi's were on an M | |

Well he says it's 16v, not seen any paperwork yet. It doesn't have an MOT but you don't need them here in Guernsey (Channel Islands), and no tax but that will be about £20 as they're scrapping tax in December here. | |
