might look into going down the diesel route in a couple of months time. Keep coming back to these cars.
everything seems right with it. cheap insurance, tax ect
just looking to find abit more about them, what to look out for when buying ect. and the usual, what mpg people are averaging in them.

all help appreciated

Check the coolant pipes, I have found that they like split alot.

Otherwise there not that bad, I have an astra 1.7 cdti and i can get around 42mpg to 55 mpg.

i bought 1 around november time and its a great car glad i bought it
a thing to check for is a little coolant pipe that goes to the EGR apparently splits alot
and wet patches on carpet in front footwells are common for leaks through the bulkhead where the BCM is apparently,
just stuff i read when i was looking into buying 1 but obv usual stuff as well knocking which is commonly anti roll bar drop links or track rods on any corsa c

mpg wise depends how you drive it lol

good question lol
to be honest it'll just be a new seal or re-seal at most
maybe a reason to bargain some off price ?

Hi mate,

Owned mine for 2 years. Only major thing to go was the starter motor.

Sometimes i wished i kept mine, Nick had a very good example of one.
