You don't need to use camber bolts if your corsa is lowered 60mm don't worry! With your splitter your better off screwing it on! I got a mk4 Astra splitter on my corsa, trimmed a bit out the middle then a few small screws to keep it on the bumper :)

Well it's been drilled underneath the lip in the corners and on the side by previous owner so I could do it that way because the screws are hidden underneath and in the arch... Just ain't got round to it yet.

Spent yesterday afternoon giving the car a once over, was filthy covered in tar along the bottom. Sadly my bumper care and tyre slick has run out so that let's it down but never the less she's gleaning.

Cheers guys. Ok so yesterday I discovered that the head gasket is on its way out I put in 4 litres of oil last week an it's gone. Took out the plugs and they had oil on them to...

Now the car has been fine all day until I took the plugs out... Since then it's like a miss-fire has began all though its fine through the rev range, but when your driving it its got a serious lack of power and acts like its missing. So off to the garage for a diagnostics it went..

So i picked her up about an hour or so ago and as follows:

Cracked spark plug in cylinder 3
wrong plugs, they're out of a golf
One of my HG leads is split
oil seal rings have gone
piston rings need doing

So i put 4 new plugs in, will sort leads Thursday and the rest will hafta wait util i come back from Ibiza end of the month, and the head gasket is fine as is the coil pack :).

And here's the culprit:

On a more positive note I've fitted my splitter.
