Post by: BcPitta on March 04, 2014, 11:09:31 pm

picked up this little run around today to replace the mrs corsa, its an 06 plate with just 60k on a little 1.2 3pot bit its surprisingly nippy, its a cat D small bump to the back en but for £550 with half a tank of fuel i couldnt say no!

cupple of little pics, if anyone knows of one being broke in this colour i could do with a back bumper  :drinking:

Barry bargain!

Not a fan of these engines though. I had a 9n before the Golf with the 3 pot lump, think it was an AWY. The thing ate 3 ignition coils in 12 months. The sound of it running on two pots was hilarious.

Really easy job to replace and they're relatively cheap but it was still a pain in the butt.

Hopefully yours'll be trouble free!
