i think there normally pretty good and reliable mate as tina had a corsa b and that was bulletproof

[Callyman]

its an 02 plate, 4 door 1.4 eco 16v

[leelee]

there usually bulletproof, but they do have some faults.eg gear linkage ,cv joints,broken rear coil springs,excessive play in inner tie rods,frayed handbrake cables,lamda sensors,front wiper linkage seize up.apart from that there a pretty reliable car.

And there power steering pump fails,new column has to be fitted
timing chain tensioner fails reguarly make sure its done as it can be expensive to sort out
oil pressure switch fails and causes oil leak (a big one)
and make sure the recall has been done on the abs sensor

forget the timing chain bit as i see it is a 1.4 it has a belt

[leelee]

power steering pump???? dont they have an electric motor assisted steering

yes they do fraz and they can fail,

[Fraz]

well It ain't a power steering pump then as electricity dont need a pump


and it is usually the connection going it to the motor that causes the problems on them motors

[tazz666]
