Converted The Wife

**ANDY W** · 27th June 2008, 18:40

Finaly converted the wife to Vauxhall from Ford. After all the recent agro with the Ford dealer and Ford themselves my wife has decided to get rid of her Focus ST170 to a Corsa D 1.3 cdti club.
Its a 56 plate in the best colour for it (red) and its the 5 door version.
Does anyone know of any performance boosters for it and is there any problems that they have.
I will put pics up when we get it on Monday.

I was quite suprised by how well it went and drove, and it actualy drives better and is more comfy than her Focus and with a mpg of between 65 / 70 on a run it gives Gordon Brown a kick in the nuts.

use good fuel ..and keep a eye on the oil level and if you get a hint of the chain rattleing take it back quickly .....watch for vibration from the flywheel..hope it dont have a dpf filter fitted ......can be boosted by the power boxses same as the 1.9 and the 3.0's ....watch the dash if you retro fit anything it is made from cheep plastic and marks so so easy .....does it have a spare wheel ? ...if not get one ......hope this heklps benny lol

Sounds like it can have vetra issues. Can you get the Caterman box for this car?

I have a 07' 1.3 CDTI (90) Astra Estate (company) and its suprising how well it goes for such a small engine (big turbo lag when cold though!) Very refined as well....must work well in a corsa!

Oh and 30,000miles so far trouble free
