I thought I better introduce myself, as I get the feeling I will annoy you all at some point in the future, asking stupid questions, trying to keep my car running!
My name is Carmen or Carm, I'm a wife and Mum of 3 boys, living in the West Mids. I have an M reg Corsa B, which is currently in a garage waiting to be resurrected (yet again). It's getting expensive, so I need to "man-up" and get my hands dirty.
In the last 6 months, she's had new sparks, distributor cap, rotor arm, battery, HT leads, carb, brakes. I'm now waiting on a crankshaft sensor, as it hasn't started in about 6 weeks, and by process of elimination I'm REALLY hoping this is the reason why! If we get it running again, next on the list is replacing the indicator stalk (stuck on main beam), cd player (it's got the original tape deck still), speakers (between Dave Grohl and me, they are toast -
) and probably an oil change when it's warmer and I feel brave enough!So, as you see, I'm going to be relying on the brilliant information I constantly find myself being directed to here, whenever I Google.
As a warning, I'm the ditzy brunette in the car spares shop who, when asked "what model corsa luv?" says "green?"Thanks in advance...
Carm
