Our youngest son has a Corsa D 1.4SXi 2007 and our eldest son has a Corsa C 1.2 Twinport - tbh I prefer the C, it feels so much more slicker than the D and just as quick, the D feels stodgy and like you sit on it, rather than in it, the D is also very thirsty. Both interiors have stood up to time well though, the D has 164k on it (had new engine a few years ago which now has 101k on it plus a new clutch), the C has about 127k and had a new timing chain about 5k ago
Yeah the D was never a quality product! Feels stodgy but I find the firm seats and driving position good for my back. I've just drove a Sandero back from the garage and was thinking this drives better than the Corsa and has more go!
Mate, it looks like maybe the head gasket has gone. That mayonnaise on the oil cap after a 20-30 mile drive 😬 if it’s not warmed up properly then mayonnaise is acceptable. Also the coolant tank looked very dark not bright pinky orange coolant 😅Hope it’s a good flip tho. Love the channel.
Thanks mate! Mechanics took a look seems to think it's fine and from a previous repair possibly. I'm doing lots of road testing before i put my name to this one!
Be thankful you didn't buy a Tigra 2, which is a great car until you need to change the battery or pollen filter. Due to the position of these, you need to remove the plastic at the bottom of the windscreen which normally ends up with the windscreen cracked.

Thought I’d comment so it doesn’t frustrate you not remembering my name 😂.
Good video though 👍🏻
I did remember after filming! Used to love watching them videos 🤣👍
Cheers mate!
@@FlippinMotorsUK @midlifecrisis101x has a load of more stuff and fails from there from days when I was away
Had a 1 litre courtesy car once , it was absolutely gutless . Wouldn't do hills at all 😏

I remember being told the first Meriva was like that too!
I had the 1.0 12v one in the past it was a turd 😂
Even the 1.4 struggled getting up hills! They move eventually but you have to absolutely hammer them!
