320touring Posted December 9, 2014 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?
Cavcraft Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 It actually saddens me seeing this fine piece of automotive class just sitting there unsold whilst I have no money.
Split_Pin Posted December 9, 2014 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!

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 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
Split_Pin Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 Cable clutch too, no slave cylinder to pop. I carry a spare cable in the boot.
pandamonium Posted December 10, 2014 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.
RoadworkUK Posted December 10, 2014 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
Cavcraft Posted December 13, 2014 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.
RobT Posted December 13, 2014 Author 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.
Cavcraft Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 And you're absolutely nowhere near Twickenham or Kingston-on-Thames, are you?
Mr_Bo11ox Posted December 13, 2014 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
RobT Posted December 14, 2014 Author Posted December 14, 2014 And you're absolutely nowhere near Twickenham or Kingston-on-Thames, are you?I'm about 12-15 miles away on the other, cheaper, side of London. You got family over there or sommat? Cavcraft and inconsistant 2
Split_Pin Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 Cavsaviour if you buy this I have a set of original Corsa wheel covers you can have which came from my Vegas. Cavcraft 1
Cavcraft Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 I'm about 12-15 miles away on the other, cheaper, side of London. You got family over there or sommat? They're all from London originally! My sister and her family are in Twickenham and my parents are in Kingston, the rest of us are spread all over the shop.
RobT Posted December 14, 2014 Author Posted December 14, 2014 They're all from London originally! My sister and her family are in Twickenham and my parents are in Kingston, the rest of us are spread all over the shop. Let me know when Cavcraft (Southern Division) would like to collect it then....! Cavcraft and Twiggy 2
RobT Posted January 4, 2015 Author Posted January 4, 2015 Bump for this. A couple of gumtree no shows today, sigh....
RobT Posted January 4, 2015 Author Posted January 4, 2015 I called and left them a message the other day, but no word. Just want rid now so I can buy more shite!
AnthonyG Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 I called and left them a message the other day, but no word. Just want rid now so the 220 can be tucked up nice and warmEFA
The Reverend Bluejeans Posted January 5, 2015 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
The Reverend Bluejeans Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Check this out - 3 doors too: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vauxhall-Corsa-1-2L-1994-79800-Miles-/221653040017?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item339b8cfb91
dollywobbler Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Have you managed to open the fuel flap yet?
RobT Posted January 5, 2015 Author 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 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...
vulgalour Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 I've gone through all the things I need to go through and I have determined that I shall be buying this car. Rob, you will have PM in a few seconds. alf892, HMC, Cavcraft and 1 other 4
UltraWomble Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 I shall be buying this car. Are you on a mission to save every old heap going? I have a Pug 206 in the drive needing a new home....
vulgalour Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 a Pug 206 you say.... NO! NO! BACK FOUL TEMPTER!
dollywobbler Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 IR JALUS. Yes, of someone buying a worthless Corsa. vulgalour 1
Mr_Bo11ox Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 I am experiencing what can only be described as 'negative jealousy' Cavcraft and RobT 2
