Sent the guy a postal order, didnt hear from him for a week. Get intouch and he said that the scuttle had cracked, and that he was looking for another one for me.
This was 2 weeks ago at least, Then he said he was sending the postal order back as he couldnt find one. Which i still havent got! grrrr

So i took my car in yesterday for its mot, the exhaust smelt reallly badly of petrol, but the guy said it might be a pipe not sealed properly, so he sealed it and did the mot.
It still failed on emmissions, so he said take it to vaux and get it on the diagnostics machine.
To which they have come back this morning with 2 fault codes.
1. o2 Sensor - which will cost about £90 which is fair enough, so im getting that done.
2. Ecu = NOT GOOD!
He said a new ecu would cost me about £400
Bad times for the corsa
On another note, if it gets fixed today, it gets new rubber

Got the debadged grill fitted at the weekend, looks ALOT better.
Not sure what to do now? The paint on the arches are coming off, as they have been shockingly sprayed before i bought it.
Colour code or not?
