I wouldn't bother - if your fluid is topped up and it doesn't do it all the time, then it should be fine.

Mine does it and my dads mundaneo does it too.

ine does it too, im told its cause the rack is worn and the only way to fix it is a new rack...

I had the fluid in mine changed and the pumps been checked and it still does it.

Its not massively expensive, the rack itself isnt too expensive its the fitting that is.
If you can find an independant garage with lower labour charges that know a bit about corsas it shudnt cost too much.
