Luckily it's just the Corsa.
I knew it wasn't going to pass, but wasn't sure what was wrong. Well, here's the list......
Front spring incomplete ( it was about to pierce the tyre  hock 
Both ball joint covers need replacing
Driver side CV joint needs replacing
Driver headlight misaligned
Rear brake binding
Not sure what the damage is yet as the mechanic is putting together the costs, but not cool! I just want rid now so I can use the money for the 6

There's a couple of people interested (friends of family, learners ) so really i'd like to sell, but I guess I'll have to see how much it would cost. Scrap value will be crap tbh.
f*cking hate driving it now, don't know how I lasted 4 years!

theyre a bit of a bitch to repair, and corsa b's arent really holding any value
the cv joint, springs and brakes may be troublesome

Luckily I've got a vauxhall mechanic who does it all a lot cheaper 
I know what you mean though, but I think I might be able to sell her..

Changing the balljoint and spring wouldn't be too much of an issue ("powerrrr"), it'd be useful if we could get the parts from a scrapped corsa but then they may be just as likely to fail. Difficult decision, it's barely worth scrapping as well as it weighs about as much as an egg (coincidentally the same shape  )

Just do it when they are out..........they won't have a choice if its in bits all over the drive when they return
Or give them the options of, a) you do it there, b) if they don't want you to do it there then they pay for a mechanic to do it for you.........

My parents hate me working on my car on the drive. Not that they get a say in it... Most of the time its in too many peices to move, before they can get a word in lol.
Can you not book it in for an MOT somewhere near a member and then just drive to that members house with no intention of going to the MOT?
Naughty i know... :roll:

I know! They're being gay about it, but then it is their house :roll:
Mechanic is calling me in the morning with a price. I'm going to get him to do the work so when I sell it, it will have a warranty.
Anyone want a Corsa?
