Hello everyone,

Sorry for the questions if they are basic, but I'm a new Corsa owner!
(97 2D Merit 1.2 Petrol) Unfortunately, I don't have a owners manual for it.

In order for the heaters / ventilation to work, the ignition key has to be turned back slightly. Is this normal on this car?

The radio (Grundig R100) can be swithed on and left on without the ignition being on. Is this normal on this car?

The windows do not wind fully down on either side, they go about 80% down. Is this normal on this car?

Thanks to anyone who can help out.

Billy

Thanks for the quick reply Kris-TD.

Do you (or anyone) know if the window problem is common, and what the cause / solution could be.

Again, thanks for any info.

only way too tell would be too take the door cards off and have a look.

someone has probably fitted speakers with a larger magnet into the doors which the window is fouling on.

vaux wired up the radio of corsas with the permanent live and the ignition live the opposite way to convention. think it worked right on the standard radios, but they need to be swapped for aftermarket head units. you'll probably find the radio doesn't store it's memory either??

think that's correct
