Corsa Sport aka Blue

[scorpiotn1]

What sorta engine you got and what sorta speeds you driving at ? motorway or city ?

the last one i clocked was 410 miles on £50 petrol.
but that was only 37 liters of petrol give or take at a price of 1.35p per liter i think.

theres an app i used to use called "fuelly"

prob was i wasnt keeping good data, i should get back into using it and see what i get.

Sub looks massive lol say it sounds mint:)

For millage get the price of petrol multiply it by 60 to get the litres

Divide number of liters by 4.54 to get gallons, divide mileage by gallons to get MPG.[/b]
so 37 divide by 4.54 = 8.14
410 divide by 8.14 = 49/50mpg

Ah my head hurts!!! Lol. It's a 10" pal not to big but fills the boot lol.

Bit of both pal, and mainly 30-70 I don't go over the limit not worth my license

Little update on today's job's.... First the exhaust...


Jacked her up whipped undue an axel stand and got to it, clamp sat between the centre section and cat gave us some trouble as the following pics reveal..



Then the back box clamp...


Fail x2... So quick nip to the parts hop o pick up some new ones:



2x 48mil and 1x 51 mil

So off with the old and on with the new:





Let the transplant begin:





And finally:


Needs some gum gum it's blowing slightly from the cat and back box so get that sorted but sounds lovely .

While the car was on the jack got the wheel off and arch out and got to the water bottle, it was full of like this black goo rubber stuff was horrible so got that out took an air line to the bottle and whipped it back on. Job done .

Little update again... Set about taking my wiper motor and rear window wiper off today in torrential rain... So In between spells here's how it went...

First I unbolted the wiper and removed it, next I opened the boot and set about removing the panel and the motor, (T25) in case anyone is wondering what size the T star is .



Now wasn't sure what to expect under the wiper rubber but surprisingly not o bad:



Then I inserted a 24 mil grommet I picked up from Halfrods (pack of 3 about £1.50) and popped It in:

Bit of a tight squeeze but it went in eventually:





Job done, screwed the and clipped the panel back on and here's the results of how my rear end now looks:





Not rocket Science or a hard job but it makes a big difference.

[scorpiotn1]

im one of the lucky ones with no rust under my rear wiper arm, im waiting to pick up a new motor from a mate and fit it.
i have a punto wiper arm on.

[Harkus]

I was going to chuck mine but see I anyone wants it, got no intention of Putting it back on . Decide what to do next now...

[Harkus]

Not much of an update how ever....Today I discovered a slight water leak... from what I can figure out its coming from the bottom of my radiator... So going to strip the front end down tomorrow and have a Ganda. I'm hoping its the pipe on the bottom and not the radiator it's self..

This happened twice to me today .

[Harkus]

Went hunting for the water leak this afternoon with my mate and bother.. Discovers its the radiator

Bit of inspection from the top first:



we decides to remove the bumper and have a look around:



Bit of rust on the slam panel:



So had a bit of a Poke around and I'm almost 100% certain it's my radiator.. So off to the parts shop to price one up and it's going to cost me £60.55 for a new one .

Why not try radiator sealant ? Worth a try before shelling out 60 quid
