Well I picked the Corsa up today.

It's quite sharp!

But I think it was once modded and has been put back to standard. Half the interior is hanging off.

How do the door cards go on? Aren't there any screws to keep them in place?

Getting a loudish noise going round corners, not sure what it is.. it's as if the exhaust note suddenly goes deeper round corners.

It's getting checked out by a mechanic on Monday

Exhaust is probablt blowing at the cat. You can hear it more round bends cos your wheel is turned exposing the exhaust!

Door cards are held on with screws. once they have been off a few times they dont want to go back on securely! Get bigger screws or use them little clips you get with stereo speakers to put behind the screw holes to give the screw summat to grab!

Ah spot on mate cheers.

I'll take the exhaust to an exhaust centre and see what they reckon.

Where abouts should the screws be in the door cards? Cos I can't find any lol.

Think there only in the door pod, apart from that theres some clips in the top. Get yourself a Haynes Manual mate, will explain it all.

The clips are metal so slim chance, more likely there missing. If its between the car and the window seam you should be able to snap it into place and should attachon with clips, think there should be 3, there gold, you can get hold of them easy at any scrappy.

Ah right so if they are missing, I can replace them without much hassle?

Good stuff.

How easy is it getting the dash surround around the heaters & heater controls out? The previous owner has sprayed them silver.. but done a horrendous job of it.

Yeah there replaceable not probs, just a case of getting hold of them at a scrappy, same goes with the dash surround thingy. Give some scrapyards a ring, any corsa will have them so you should have problem. Couldnt explain how you get it out but i know it says in the haynes manual
