They look like cali leathers anyway, it's the same pattern as cali leathers anyway, rears need modifying to fit the b though

It's not massive but definitely not easy [emoji38] there's guides on how to do it, you can either modify the cali stuff to fit or strip the cali seats and swap them to the corsa frames
Didn't come yet mate, post office went on strike last weekend so could be a while before I get them

Hi mate your car is looking mint, I've been looking through your whole thread and it's come along way in a short time. I'm doing my 1994 1.4 8v up and wish I'd found some of the deals you have got. If you still have the coin holder I'd buy it from you.

Oh thanks very much mate it's good to have some positive feedback and any ideas are always nice to have too [emoji4]. Yeah I've had some pretty decent deals on parts [emoji12]. A lot of the work has just been time tho like with the paint work and stuff with that being my job I get little things off the car and paint them whilst doing the Audis and stuff (always a bonus to do stuff in works time). Yeah I've still go the tigra coin tray and tigra scuttle mate do you a deal on both off you want the scuttle. If not I'll happily sell you the tray how much you offering

I will have the coin tray as I don't need the scuttle. How about £10 delivered.

Hi guys haven't posted up for a little while so here's a few updates [emoji4].
Have the motor a good clean the other day followed by a polish and a auto glym HD wax [emoji108] would recommend that to anyone.
Gives a nice beading too
Also cleared up some room in the new house for some off the more important things
Everyone needs a man shelf [emoji106][emoji57]

Need some help lads. This morning I went to the corsa and she wouldn't start for ages just kept turning over but seemed to be struggling. I am unsure wether it's just a dicky battery tho because she fired up in the end and never seemed to loose any power when turning her over. Git her going in the end and ran fine all the way to work never coughed or missed a beat once, any thoughts?? It's the 1.0 12valve Eco-tec engine. Cheers in advance

I didn't mate was half 6 this morning and had nothing to jump her with haha. She fired up in the end like after a few attempts of turning the key. Just strange for the old girl coz she's never done it in the 5 years I've had it, started fine at dinner time there just don't want it to start happening every morning would it with getting a new battery and trying it coz I've never changed it in the 5 years me and the Mrs have had it and god knows when it was changed last before that

Will the change in weather you may find that there was condensation in the cylinders.
Was more common on old cars.
It is usually down to spark plug washers failing. It is worth doing a compression test and renewing the plugs and leads.
