Worst update every made.

As of midnight, the corsa is sorn'd for the first time in the almost 8 years I've owned it.

Not sure if it will see an mot or tax disc this year at all.

Will still do the local one round here as I will just tow it down on the BMW for the day doesn't need tax or mot for that. Hopefully things may change and my money may go back to normal at work but doesn't seem likely. New job time I think.

Bit far for how many runs you get in for your cash. Think I only got 7 last time I was there.

bmw back seats dont fold down so it means taking stuff with the corsa is quite awkward. would make more sense to get a transporter as it covers both things i like in one vehicle.

A few of the transporters we get in work are fair smart with replica 20s on etc. I'd prefer a t5 but chances are I will get a t4 as they're a good but cheaper for a 5-6 seater one.

Always seem to have transporters in work, they're nice to drive, quite quick to but don't seem all that reliable.. Saying that it only ever seems to be the t5's cog driven engines the water pumps are quite common for breaking up (supposedly last 150k miles) vw stock the pump not that straight forward a job. Have quite a few in for abs faults to along with other sensors.. Sure there is other common problems I'm forgetting.

Oh yeah gearboxes! we have replaced loads of gearboxes haha they don't seem that strong and from our personal experiences they don't like big wide wheels... Not cheap to have put right either customer destroyed his gearbox and got his own and I'm sure it was in the region of £800

That was just for the gearbox to. Plus fitting and all the rest (got to drop the subframe ect to get the box out) was very costly in the end!

They are all expensive for what they are, why do you need all the seats? Mates and bikes?
