Everyday seems to bring another problem with the car 
Its a 1.28v converted to a 1.6 16v for those that dont know.
Problem after problem and I cannot see light at the end of the tunnel !
I'm sure there are worse off i.e lads who's cars are off the road for a year etc , but how do you keep going with it ?

Get it to a point where its fixed and sell, i felt this way with my old corsa.. seemed to get it all sorted them somit else would go....
Infact the car was cursed, after selling it the car got fooked up so much by the fella, still see it kicking around looking sorry... last i heard it got sold for 1k i sold it for 3k a year ago. Only ever had small silly issuse with my new corsa so a change could be a good thing

End of the day if you keep up the maintenance on your car then there is only so much that should go wrong. Discs and pads wear out, exhausts rot (unless stainless steel), you will get dings and dents from supermarkets. These things just happen.
Its a matter of having enough money to maintain your car and doing it up at the same time.

What you want is some decent feedback about your car  This makes you want to get out there and get the car back on the road!
I've been a massive fan of your car for a long time mate. So stick at it and let's see it up and running

I went through the same thing mate with mine, you get over all the problems after a couple of weeks, then mine was spot on.
