just taking my car for its mot 2 weeks over due... oops

unfortunately it failed. the chassis is rotten and need a piece welding in the size of a 30cm ruler and i have a spring on my suspension which a piece completely snapped off ( that will be the annoying knocking noise it makes) it also failed on some stupid little things that my partner had an attempt at and forgot to connect together again. ( eg. windscreen wipers)

but luckily i m good mates with a guy who owns a garage and i can get everything done dirt cheep.
just wondered whether anyone else had the same problem with theirs. or know of a common problem with corsa\'s, that i should look out for

I\'m worried about mine now

mines M reg also,

the front section (Under the rad) It looks like the rad leaked a few times in the past and never had the anti freeze rinsed off so its eaten thru the paint and body work.. eek!)

Well good luck getting it fixed Hon!

unfortunalty the rotting chassis is a common problem with corsas, coz i also need some welding doing.
