if i change the water in the radiator then will it run a bit smoother when sitting at lights etc.
What seen to happen is when you give it a good pasting up to about 50 and then stop at lights etc the car tends to shake unless you give it a bit of gas. Anyone know if this will help or got any other suggestions? Don't even say scrap it  I know -- i know, it's a shit 1.1 5 door 106 but hey, look on the bright side, i haven't crashed it

speed in gears is nothing, 36mph in 1st is not good for your small engine

What are 1.4 Corsa Sports like in performace? Looking at the insurance before, i will be paying a bit less on one of those as i do on the 1.1 106 now in July.
Also are they reliable?
They look well nice !!! really like the ones in blue.

If getting a 16v then check the cam belt. Either renew it or check if it's had one in the last 35000 miles. Else it's a BIG PISS TAKE when they snap
