..........it fookin pours!!!!!!!!!!!!

had my corsa for nrly 2 yrs and never had anything wrong with it maintenance or accident wise, ive only had to pay for MOT and servicing costs which were cheap

BUT..........

i now need new brake pads, my drums fixing cos handbrake if buggered, need 4 new 195/45/16 tyres, got a huge stone chip on the bonnet (down to metal) on motorway on fri afternoon, then got a huge stone chip in the front wing on the nite (was racing a mondeo :lol which is guna cost me loads 2 sort out

AND........to top it all off, i think my head gasket may be on its way out ive got pressure in my water, im not sure tho, the car still runs like a dream and is only T reg, done 26k miles (seen the redline a few 2 many times tho)

its not really ragging it that causes the head gasket to go, the main cause is overheating coupled with hard driving, if ur coolant is working correctly then u shld be ok going on that little mileage
