Whys that? Whats the difference between Will and any other buyer?


Don't take offense, but it happens alot when someone spends alot of time, effort and money on a car then sell it on to a new owner and ends up for the worse.

Like my old green one I sold and was crashed within a couple of weeks, Fears old black and silver corsa and a few others which I can't think of the top of my head had the same thing happen.
Like I said I hope he proves me wrong and adds some of his own touches to the car like he has said.



Didn't mean it to sound like I was being a prick Was a genuine question

I see what your saying but every one seems to think because Will bought it its going to end up wrecked like in another thread in GC people were asking Jacko why did he let Will buy it

No worries Should have worded it differently but you get what I mean, not just will owning it but like the lad who bought my Corsa all done and modified and ended up crashing it, happens alot it seems but hope its different in this case.

Clearly will loves the car so Im sure he will keep it upto good standard and add his own touches along the way.

Yea it makes sense, it does seem to happen when people put a lot of effort into a car and sell it, yours is a great example

Lets hope for the best with this one

I got it from a guy in Burnley i think

They dont make them any more, so you're best bet is just to go through every vauxhall forum and look arround!

Its a normal post 97 bumper with a Steinmetz splitter smoothed into the bottom

do you mean the temperature gauge? because that is what is hitting 100

And yes, I have just had a new rad, the garage thought that was the problem. after they fitted it went down to like 1/4.. but yesterday it went back to 100 (full)

Often when fitting a new rad you can get an air lock (air trapped in the cooling system) its quite common. Check to see if your heaters are working as they often stop working at 100% if you have trapped air.

Just take it back to the garage that fitted the rad who should sort it

Has Will been sold a lemon? First a replacement rad, now possible head gasket issues?
