bub2006 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Just picked up a vauxhall corsa B 1.0 on a x plate. Envoy trim so no such frivolity in it. Whining alternator and steering wheel is off kilter. Previous owner was disabled and got rid as the alternator started to whine so had a mobility car. £230 I paid for this lovely motor. Seems to have a miss on full throttle and threw up the eml a couple of times but lift foot from the carpet and it went out. Stopped being so prominent on the way home though so maybe just needed a run. Pics to follow tomorrow. eddyramrod and Cavcraft 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bub2006 Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 It's the dark green colour,cypress green maybe? Come with fuel gauge reading 20 litres so about 150 mile I'd hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beko1987 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Could it be as simple as a morning removing the throttle body and cleaning the fuck out of it, followed by the maf, filter, plugs then a good old hoon around? Sounds nicely miserable for £230 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Previous owner was clearly not disabled of mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bub2006 Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 I do love the non airbag steering wheel in these to be fair. Would like to retrofit a rev counter and maybe central locking due to it being a five door but that's not important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
