Katie - probs just the linkage which has slipped so causing you grief with the gears - happened to me before, is reet annoyin!
as for the rear brake cylinder - common problem, I\'ve had about 4 on the old corsa bloody rubbish! Just get rear discs & be done with it

i done my gear linkage yesterday, what i bitch that was. as it is a different ratio to the 1.2, it goes in to 3rd, 4th and 5th ok. but to get it into 1st and 2nd i have to lift up the reverse collor. its turned into a really head scratcher.

Katie - you\'ll be ready - these are just trivial problems which can be sorted...
I still gota sand & spray down the inside of the car, sort out the front splitter & bumper as its not fitting proper (mount is damaged) sort engine (clean the ICV, replace inlet manifold gasket, clean TPS, replace CTS & thermostat, oil, coolant) clutch, brakes...

Been, saw, it rained. cleaned off the rear drum inside which was caked in grease and ming. Seem like there\'s loads of air in the system as no pressure builds, think the car needs a full bleed.
Gearlinkage was proper f**ked though, but a new one has been sourced, so thats\' cool.
WIll help out again is it still needs some tlc in a few weeks when I\'m free again.
