You can get the boot open from inside with a screw driver there's a rod you move.
If your having a cv boot done id have new track rods out on and probably a cv joint itself then it's done
Then tracking

Wheezing noise not because it's a 1.0? Lol

I used my 2.0 Xe every day for two years wasn't that bad.
Never broke down on me once
Used a little fuel when I hit the loud pedal hard lol

Yeah I'm just pushing the rod down
by hand at moment to open it if I have to put something in , so can technically open it its just not ideal and I can't use my parcel shelf because the calibra seats are hard to fold down.

I'll have to see about getting all that done soon with the cv joint because last mot they said it was going to need it for next.

The weezing noise is weird, I don't really know of how to describe it.. It mainly happens when over 4k revs when holding off from changing up it almost sounds like if you are blowing from the back of your throat insisted of through your lips (weird way of deciding it I know) happened after some very high revs going downhill wasn't doing it before.

I like the idea of a 2.0, looks good in bay and can say you've got a 2.0 corsa but I'm just not sure yet.. Not in any rush right now anyway 1.0 still doing me well.

Dash bulbs have been going a bit wild recently, flickering and randomly going off which is pretty distracting.

It's pretty much exactly a year ago they were changed to blue (except the the heater ones which are forever going off).

Anyway, bought a new kit with all the bulbs.. this time from crazyled's Instead of eBay.







Also gave the inside a proper going over, well overdue.



If I could get some those Vauxhall mats with the red text that would be the inside done.

The leds make the dash much nicer, they don't seem stupidly bright like most

I read through all this the other day. Car looks great, never thought it would look like this after you first started with the posts about your crash lol. Reminds me of my Arden blue corsa from 7 years ago.

Interior looks spot on in cream against the blue of the car. Something different too.

Cheers Andy, I remember that thread... lol.

Certainly done more than I originally planned when I got it two nearly two years ago now, don't think I've ever seen your corsa before.

I love the cream Interior myself, not tatty like most either wich is a plus.

I had reservations about them when I first put them in last January as they did seem a lot brighter and you can't turn the clocks down like you can with the normal bulbs but I'm used to them now.

If my car wasn't blue I think red would be cool and I think they are a bit easier on the eyes

Since the last update cars needed a new clutch, alternator, oil change and most recently a CV joint.





I've also bought some short pressed plates





Size comparison





Grey painted centre console had gotten scuffed up, so took that off and replaced it with a standard unpainted one which looks better anyway...



Managed to partially rip an arch off, so need to get a new one and get it painted





And got some Morrettes









Will be getting them painted black soon, still unsure about what to do to with indicators though

And here's a few pictures I took recently of the car

So took the morrettes apart to clean and get painted.

Cases in good condition really, all lugs intact...





Insides before





And cleaned up







Cases painted gloss black





Also got some new dipped/high beam bulbs and side lights





And decided what I was going to do with the indicators, originally was going to get some for behind the grill but decided they will be too close together so went with this idea I got from another thread on here which is to mount motorbike indicators to the back of the empty inside lense

Did the measurements and bought the bits



Arrived, all the right size just need the hole in the top of the mount drilling bigger to accommodate the bike indicator



Indicators arrived





Trial of how indicators will sit



Re-drilled one of the holes to fit the indicator







And back together, with indicators







Cars also having bit of trouble starting, mainly when it's warm/been running so got it plugged in and came up as being an egr valve fault so have bought a blanking plate.. Yet to fit though.



Will get the Morrettes fitted soon also.

Should look good when fitted

If it were me, I'd probably look to put something over the inner lamps like some black mesh just to cover a gaping hole.

Thanks!

Not keen on Meshing the inside lense, prefer them empty/open myself also the indicators won't be as noticable when they are on the car as they won't be at eye level like in the photos.

Thanks!

They've turned out nice, hopefully won't be too much of a headache connecting indicators.

Indicators are a great idea. You won't notice them when fitted on the car, though it may end up looking like you have bits missing.
