guy came into work today
same guy who bought my first corsa

said a few things wrong with it, so i went out,

car is dirty to fuck inside and out
stone chip on side started to rust aswell
said hes had a new starter and clutch fitted and it wasnt running right

so i checked the bite- right at the bottom
and then the adjuster, the adjuster is rightup to the end
so im not sure if they fitted a new clutch or just ajusted it

but he payed for a clutch etc

worse thing thou i revved it and as it went back to idle it rattled it's bollocks off whats that? worn lifters? what? sounded fooking ill

pissed me off a little bit i know its not my car anymore but at least it shud be looked after

Low on oil I think; no oil getting into the hydraulic lifters.
