After thinking about getting rid of it for a diseasel boremobile thought
**** it why not..
Removed all Three cats and replaced with 1 Prodrive sports cat (From STi
PPP) and two decat pipes.
Already has deresonated centre pipe & panel filter fitted.
This has already made a hell of a difference in spool up and acceleration!
Next steps are uprated fuel pump, intercooler hose kit and Remap.

Hi
I have a 2001 Corsa C which has a problwm with its intemittent wipe action.
When you try to set it for intermittent, the wipers stop half-way across the
windscreen. The auto park action also fails when in normal and fast wipe
settings.
I've replaced the motor and checked the linkage, which both seem fine.
Anyone have an idea as to what could be causing the problem?

After visiting a few websites of Co's selling information on how

What a complete waste of time.
Arranged with Volvo yesterday to have tests of the S60 and S80 D5 autos.
Got there this morning at the arranged time, staff rolled up late and
dealer principal told me that he'd sold the only S80 he had and that
the only S60 available was a 2.0T manual.
It was apparently too much hassle to get the S60 D5 demonstrator out of
the showroom unless I was buying today.
