when you cant rear the time cause one multifunction display bulb isnt working

when you cant see weather the heaters on hot ort cold at night cause the bulbs arnt working

when you struggle to find gears cause there that floppy



in my first corsa the seatbelts would just undo themselves when on bumpy roads they were soon replaced!

great thread so many true things iv had nearly them all during the 3 corsas iv owned

it also took me months to find out how to use the interiopr light :

I've never had it vibrate down, it's usually that as I turn the lights on my finger catches it and turns it down

Mine dont work

I snapped the clip, twice, after replacing the bulbs. A bit of Irmscher glue later and it worked, even when I sold it

My heated rear screen used to melt ice worryingly quickly - I'm adamant I could have fried an egg on it.

When you have to adjust your clutch every 50 or so miles because you dont have a clip on the clutch cable thread to stop it un-adjusting itself.... Not easy to do unless the engines cooled down a bit

And for me its been the really high engine running temps going round town
No clip on the rear heated screen knob so the whole thing pulls off
The clicky drivers door
EGR faults
Rough idling
Not knowing what the little button is between my interior lights as it definitely isn't a switch for the lights
Central locking dead lock not working

I could probably sort most of this stuff out if i could be bothered really haha
