You missed out an epic portion where I come round and roll around in the water on the floor and in the dark. Fix most of your lights, point the wheels the right way then ram my arm in through your bumper to release the bonnet. That was the best bit. My arms ruined today lol. Congrats on the mot pass!

Which wheels are for which corsa? Black one suits the sppedies alot more and the cesaros suit the stripped out white one.

Good work.

Thanks for all the comments guys ! Cesaros are staying on gus, was going to be temporary but I really like them and the speedlines are staying on the black one.
Once again a massive thanks to Si again as a lot of your work helped gus pass the mot even if you did break my bonnet release cable ha ha.

All hasn't stayed good though :/ was driving home after picking my heater matrix up as my old one was leaking., and my battery light came on very dim and then brighter got it home and it died done a check on the battery and that's fine but the alternator isn't as it's not charging the battery so for now gus is sat doing nothing as the weathers crap :/ hoping to get it fixed on Wednesday and do my heater matrix aswell. Did get some photos before gus got I'll though which I'll post up now

little update gus is fixed now, the fault was a wire on the alternator that was loose causing the battery not to be charged :/ also fitted a new heater matrix and thermostat but heaters are still blowing cold :? could be an air lock ? apart from that all is well (bar my eml that im going to find out why its on next week)

I bought a saxo and it broke down outside Sam's house on the way home. My mate was driving it and had no battery on his phone to ring me to come back to tow it, so he knocked on her door asking for a phone and her mum just said 'i don't think that's a good idea' and slammed the door on his face

What's next for Gus?

Don't think she will have been that rude she's not like that

As for the heaters not working Si found out what was the problem ! I took gus to my local garage to have the heaters done and found some clamps (well Si did) on one of the heater pipes ! Taken gus back to the garage and the mechanic was very embarresed any way a pic !
