Not with a corsa, but my Megane is going through a problem stage right now (148k it's on - 2000 1.6 16v)

I've pretty much renewed everything lready - Its tight in general ... BUT.

-Drivers Window regulater self destructed recently,
-Exhause Maifold-Cat/downpipe gasket missing (just had a new cat, as the old one sheered at the flange - would be MOT fail)
-New washer pump today as the old one was leaking. Badly.
-New headlight today - old one damaged.
-Slight coolant leak and funny curry type smell through the vents (matrix I think)
-needs new tyres.
-Clip on door panel broken - causing it to vibrate slightly (my fault)
-Aerial leaking AGAIN
-Back brakes need adjusted up (MOT fail if not sorted)

That's all. Have to mention that the engine, box and clutch (all original) are totally fine though!

Yep! I need to get round to dealing with my problems as well.

The manifold/Downpipe - Cat gasket is a pain. It's just not that easy. If my coolant leak is the matrix, that can wait.

The rest are niggly things, that enfuriate me more than major problems!

Exhaust is blowing,
Throttle body is fooked
Tracking is out.

But best of all insurance want me to pay the rest of my insurance off (£500) because I missed a payment, even though I didn't I paid on a credit card but they still tried to take the money from my bank

Well I've found out that I need to buy 2 new tyres for one set of alloys (2 x 185/60/R14)
And 2 new tyres for the other set of alloys (2 x 205/40/R16)
hmmm £170

But on the upside my corsa is driving fairly smooth, nothing major to report

Get your car sorted out Bain, now that you are a fully qualified QS you can stick an LET in it and get yourself a nice wee saloon for everyday driving.

You know that makes sense
