I need some help on what to do with my corsa its a W reg 1.0L Corsa GLS....here's the history
-bought it a year ago from a friend for £300
-new idle air control thing £125
-4 new tyres £120
-new catalytic converter £140
-bootlid is damaged from a disagreement with a wall (now does not open as the buckle is around the locking system)
-when the catalytic converter was fitted I was told there is a small crack in the manifold which "we are going to ignore for now"
-I was going through clutch cables (snapping at pedal end) at a rate of one a month. got a new one from vauxhall witha new adjuster block which seems to be doing ok
-seems to have lost some power overall
basically i seem to have a couple of options:
1) scrap it and put it all down to experience
2) new bootlid and replace manifold - how much is that gonna cost??
3) sell it as seen and see how much I get for it
it's MOT'd until june 24th this year...
any help would be greatly appreciated.
