SHIT!

Headgaskets gone on the Corsa, which leaves me with no car around christmas, fantastic! HSBC said it'd cost me £300 a month to go on my mums insurance on a Zafira DTi

Can't even rent a car from anywhere because of my age, i'm starting to hate my Corsa more and more...

Don't NEED stem seals etc. Will get you about for a week or so. Better than a push iron.

Christmas is the best time of year to be without wheels surely?

You should be too drunk to drive 90% of the time.

I think it's great how you just casually say to people to strip an engine down, have seen you saying it as if it's as easy as an oil change before on Xmas Eve as well, obviously he's not going to be able to get it done.

Why not?

It's only a HG.

Changed the engine in a mk2 golf in the rain the other week. Only took about 3/4hours.

To be fair I didn't find that particularly easy or rewarding either...

They are a riiiight bastard to work on, stuff everywhere... I've got a Punto that needs its head gasket doing, so i'm sorting that out as fast as i can, use that as a run around while i get the Corsa done properly

Still annoyed i don't have a car
