well on the service, the problems were, head lamp clips which will be £10 each, pads and shoes 75% worn, discs and drums worn, weak sump :-s, and one tire cracking. Im not sure if the brakes will fail tho because they still stop the car well. what does the weak sump mean??will it fail the mot for it and how much will it cost.lol
Errr yeah, what are they 24carat solid gold or something? I was down Vauxhall today getting shock bolts and 2 new clips myself funnily enough.....I paid £1 for the 2!
got the car back a while ago.passed with flying colours!! corsa's r great!! its dun 104,000 mile and still it goes on without costing me alot of money.im guna get them things sorted on pay day tho
'weak sump' is typical for an 8v, it means the sump is showing rust and / or the gasket is leaking (which is practically every 8v engine tbh). i wouldn't worry too much unless its seriously leaking, in which case the cork gasket is an absolute pain to get off because it welds itself to the engine block face.
its only made of pressed thin steel and gets sprayed with road water and crud, as soon as the paint starts peeling it's going to start leaking (rhyme not intended).
£250 for a sump change is pretty typical, seeing as it is a nightmare to do a decent job with it.
£9 for 9 bolts isn't too bad, when i was rebuilding my bike engine, i had to pay £30 for 16 bolts because they don't make engine bolt kits for mine anymore, well that and they were stainless and looked cool....
I need to go purchase a headlight clip within the next week or so, my m.o.t. was booked in today for the 13th of february.
I get it done at vauxhall aswell who are really strict and really pricey so have to make sure it is spot on.
It failed on a rear numberplate light last year, which costs me £7 to fix.
They wouldn't let me take it off the premises to fix myself without paying for another m.o.t.
