320touring Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Gosh. Takes me back to learning to drive. I've never driven a Corsa of this vintage since. Can't go wrong for that sort of money either. Shame Londinium is so far away. And that I'm skint. Could do with a cheap runaround while the 2CV is (hopefully) being fettled next year. She hates PAS.I could get the train down and deliver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 It actually saddens me seeing this fine piece of automotive class just sitting there unsold whilst I have no money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Split_Pin Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 My first Corsa was a c14 nz and it took ages to start until I bought new ht leads. Good to see this doesn't have a crank sensor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto- My BSM Corsa B was the last one I drove. Despite my (and untold hundreds) hack handed gear crunching and general abuse 17 years on R617CKV still lives according to the DVLA!

lisbon_road Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Brookjm, the reason your car survives is that these are the most indestructible cars ever built. I'd buy it if I didn't have too many cars and all that. Looks good, hope you get a good sale. They are good little cars if you can live with the handling Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandamonium Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I like Corsas. I could do with this for teaching my kids how to drive. Alas, no one will buy my Acclaim, so I'm out on the grounds I already have 3 cars squished into 2 spaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadworkUK Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 It actually saddens me seeing this fine piece of automotive class just sitting there unsold whilst I have no money. And yet I have the money, but don't want a Vauxhall Corsa. Ying and Yang are both represented on one single forum thread. Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Have a free 'bump' to the top. It's just to try and make sure someone buys this before I feel obliged to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobT Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 Thanks Billy. I'm going to have another proper go at trying to sell this in the New Year. In the meantime, I'll be taking it to my lock up later so I can free up garage space at home for the 220. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Bo11ox Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 A Corsa Mk 1 got abandoned along the road from me early this week or maybe last weekend. Went past today and predictably itd beeen vandalised, windows smashed, panels kicked in etc. Wouldn't bother me but all the contents including kids toys & blankets & whatnot are now all strewn all over the layby. What a bastards trick. Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Reverend Bluejeans Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 The right* way to do this is to put the new battery on the car you're keeping and the one from that onto the one you're selling. Aah, the old 'sales battery' trick! Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobT Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 Have you managed to open the fuel flap yet?Yep, it was the cap I was struggling with. I got annoyed and whacked it with a mallet which did the trick. Easy fix! It was on vapours again so I've put in another four litres. Price is now £184.36p... Just want the fugger gone now.

dollywobbler Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 It is still tempting, but a £184 car swiftly increases in cost when I factor the logistics and insurance admin fee in. Which is very annoying indeed and entirely not your problem. Other than still not having a sale... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
