Was a 1.2 8v. Barely got hot tbh, managed to catch enough cool air down the bottom of the rad.

James I would have it off you in a flash but jan is a hard month, if you've still got it in feb I will have it.

i've been looking for the full pictures of this since i got it etc but i cant seem to find them anywhere, i think theyre on my other hard drive which i dont have at the moment but will get them all put up when i find them.

the gearbox has sounded a bit shit since i first got it, was awful always rattling. i put it down to a rubbish box so replaced it for a reconditioned one. that rattled so it was the release bearing causing the prob. so for the second time in about a month i took the box off and replaced the bearing

before it sounded like this, eek Youtube



did it on my own on the driveway which was a bit of a ballache but managed to get the box off in an hour and 20.

bought some corsa sport clocks as well to keep the sport interior look going, just wondering if anyone knows how to adjust the mileage as my shell is nowhere near 122k. i know the flatblade screwdriver way but last time it made the clocks go all droopy so just wondering if anyone has any other ideas.
