was it worth it? dunno it is nice being able to see what its set to without having to turn on the interior light.
and y is it that so many people have had there bulbs go. Not just one but all of them.
the bulbs are on all the time the keys are in the ignition so its no suprise there going to burn out

[quote=\"CorsaSteve\"]yea my heater control bulbs have gone aswel.i got told i new to get 2?[/quote]yup its just 2 bulbs for around the dials and one for the heated window switch. but aparently you need to get a whole new switch for that one as the bulbs in the middle of the switch. i didnt bother trying to take the switch to bits to find out if that was true or not

Not true, remove the switch and look in the hole you are left with. I think you will find that its sitting at the top in a little holder thingy.

Older corsa's pre 1997 tend to have 3 bulbs. Corsa's 1997 - 2000 have 2. Just go to Vauxhall there about 60p each.

yeah theres one behind the ash tray right next to the cigerrette lighter. there are just 4 screws that hold the ash tray in place, one in each corner then it just drops out. you will need a little stumpy screw driver to get in though.once your in if you look next to the cig lighter theres a black wire running off to a led holder thingy. pull the wire off and you'll see a copper tab it was connected to. pull this with some needle nose pliars and once it out you will see the led. then do the opposite to put it togher again
OFFICAL DVLA DATA:
1414 - corsa gsi's on the road in 2008.
735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts :rant:

Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend at pvs!
