01 Corsa Comfort 1.2
- 3 sets wiper blades
- 3 sets brake pads
- faulty drivers seat
- gear linkage needed adjusting
- rattles a lot
- steering knocks

Gonna put some effort into selling it - should have a bmw by next week so I'll have something to get me around once the corsa is gone :-)

So far:
Sqeeky clutch
Noisy wipers
Brake pedal rubber kept falling off
Paint started coming off rear bumper
All sorted now apart from noisy interior which they say is caused by my wheels and suspension

On mine:
1. Wipers needed replacing after a couple of months
2. Brake pads after 8,000 miles
3. Leek in passenger footwell
4. Indicators blinking twice as fast on the passenger side (still not fixed)
5. Boot wouldn't open
oh yeah - almost forgot, had it broke into 4 times so needed some new glass!

I'm sure theres more that i havent listed.

Thought it was my fault that so much was goin wrong

1) clunking noise in steering
2)Front foglights letting in water
3) Rattle noise coming from rear wheel/axle
4) Engine managment light is coming on. The garage says the engine is not getting enough air but the induction kit is way to big anway. I cleaned it to make sure it wasnt cloged but it still didnt fix it

What next??

I've had then squeaky cluth pedal on my corsa but seems to have gone now! Brake pads are fcuked at the mo (need new ones) done 10,000 miles (might be down to alot of heavy braking though!). I've got the squeaky noise that is coming from the brakes even when your not on the brakes, just thought is might were off but if other people have had leaking in the rear brakes which is causing this, I might have to take it into Vauxhall!!

Ours is now just about 2yrs old and has 19000miles and it has had wipers replaced for free within a few months, there was an electric problem after about 18months which was free but only other thing its a sqeaky brake pedal which i can live with.....i am happy with the car but i think it uses more fuel than it should? I have driven in normally (3.5-5krpm) and then driven it slowly (3krpm) and there is not much difference on consumpsion
