Right theres a few things i need sorting but dont know where to start..
I've got a set of steelies which i intend on spraying white but some parts of the wheel are rusty and i want to know what to coat them in etc, or if i can put some sort of primer over the whole lot and not worry about rust or whatever???
I havent a clue lol
Anyway does anyone know what sort of primers, paints, laquers i need and where to get them from
But mainly instructions on how to do it would be greatly apreciated thankyou
Secondly, my heater/blowers only work on number 4, i dont know if its an easy fix, but if its a garage jobby, quotes?
Lastly.. First setting on my wipers dont work properly, they'll go halfway them stop, then half again and stop etc etc. any ideas anyone??
Thanks for reading, i need you helpppp

About your wheels give them a good go down with a wire brush nd clean them up, then use some petal primer do 1-3 coats then use the white spray paint 1-3 coats depending on how they look then 1-3 coats of clear
Can get all the paint from halfords or eBay

the wipers sound like a relay find out which one it is and if there is 2 of the same relay swap them over and check they work, if they do swap the realy back and get a new one.ShadyJake wrote:Right theres a few things i need sorting but dont know where to start..

Re: Help help and more help
the blower working only on full speed is definitley the resistor pack had this exact same problem on my mk3 astra. Have a look under the scuttle panel (black plastic below the windscreen that the wipers connect through) by lifting the bonnet then removing the rubber strip (just give it a yank) then lift the scuttle panel up and in the centre you will find the air intake for your blower if you have a filter then remove it via plastic clips (4 iirc) then you should see a plug with 5 wires iirc remove that then unscrew any neccesary screws to remove the item the wires were connected to. This item that you will have removed is the resistor pack for the different blower speeds. you can either try your luck at getting a good one from the scrap yard or look else where, I got lucky at a scrap yard so wouldn't know where to get one new.

Re: Help help and more help
You can get heater blower resistor packs on ebay cheap, it's a common fault on a lot of cars. On the corsa I believe it's under the left hand side of the dash on a uk car, you will probably need to remove the shelf. I done one a while back and it's simple.
