Enjoy guys, plenty more videos in the pipe line including another auction video so please check them out as they land this week

Looking for a first runabout for my son so your vids are just the ticket regarding types of car and the work they need done on them. Very impressed and I will feel more confident when it comes to handing over the folding stuff! Keep them coming, very entertaining channel with never a superfluous word. You know your stuff.

Subscribed now for 3 months, mate your content is A1, cannot fault it.....Keep them coming. Honesty & professionalism shines in each video, you will do well. Tidy workshop, knowledge & honesty, the makings of the trade. Thank you, will keep watching...Dave, Isle of Man

I love a Corsa got one now it's 14 years old but you got careful with the subframe does rust away the other problem I found on these engines is the oil filter housing is supposed to hold a cup of oil for the top end when you start the engine. what happens is a valve inside the oil filter fails drains the oil back into the sump overtime it will damage the top end of the engine. And the thing you must check is the fan for the engine sometimes it don't work sometimes the head gasket goes before the car will tell you it's too hot.

I hope you keep up the videos, It's nice to see the dealers perspective, dont see many videos of this quality on youtube, keep it up lee, looking forward to the videos you've got coming.

Good to hear the repairs aren't going to be too bad. Nicely done, Lee.

Nice we car Lee like you said everybody likes a corsa there cheap and practical. Good ta see a honest man selling a car fixing things rather than taking short cuts like most dealers nowadays lol. Good on ya good video 📹

It's refreshing to see an honest car dealer.

If I had spare cash to buy a crapper that I can park anywhere and not give a **** about door dings etc, this would be a good buy.

Love the fact Lee that your reputation is paramount to you and your business m8...like u say get the chain done on it and its piece of mind 4 u and the next owner plus if you can make between £800-1k profit by the time u sell it its been another nice little earner...Great picking from the auction and u can't beat an experienced eye!!!...Keep up the great work and keep the videos coming!!!...👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Great enjoyed the video, hopefully get a punto update soon

Can not believe Vauxhall was never held responsible for them chains. Don’t think Iv ever heard a Corsa that doesn’t have a bad chain. Had one myself, changed and still rattled 😂

Very true about the getting rid of them I have a 1.2 I bought to learn and do my test in it’s great 😀love the vids keep it up !

Excellent content again. Please carry on, you're so refreshing with your honesty

Another great win, nice one Lee.

Geat video Lee, just traded in a Ford Mondeo Titanium x, 2011 EO11ARX full-service history & 12 months MOT advisory free & recent service, cam belt & water pump is done, new DPF injector front tyres are new, tracking done. it's going to end up at BCA Nottingham or Manheim. A good car to watch out for, I just got something a bit bigger. Worth a punt

Love the vid Lee,Nice little earner for you,love your channel,really look forward to them.

super helpful thank you

Love the content Lee. Keep em coming. Quite fancy a Corsa as a cheap runabout.

Great honest insight into your business .

Great vid Lee. Please don't change format too much. I would like to see more on how you deal with the mechanicals - really enjoyable.

I've got a Corsa 1.2 se 3 door in white 13plate and to be honest it has been a nightmare in the two years I've owned it . Paid 3350 for it full history 99 thousand miles in the first year I owned it a thousand pounds in bills everything from coil springs water pump suspension dampers went .just got on top off it I was driving steady away I'm 53 no boy racer the engine started losing power and banging 😮 took it to two mechanics both said new engine.the car was now worth 500 quid so rather than pay out for another car I sourced a low mileage engine off eBay for 850 75 delivery 400 fitting so another 1300 quid it seems ok now but I've ploughed that much money into it I'd be daft to sell it but I'm waiting for something else to go wrong. 😢

Always look forward to your videos,and anyone with a corsa should have picked up a few tips there.will be good to see the finished result.

My first car was a 03 Corsa, nice and quiet on test drive, got home and the chain was rattled like a rattle snake! I Ended up putting a chain on it, I bought the car privately.

Keep up the good work , getting on for 15,000 subscribers and 2 million views in the channels short life. Good honest view of everyday life in the trade.

Love the videos lee! 🚗

Less of the old people Lee! I always had the door protectors on but can’t now as door jams are so tight on new cars. If you can get £2495 that will be a good buy.

That will make someone a nice little runabout. You should look at buying a vw up. Easy to sell and popular with all ages.

Nice little Corsa that to be fair despite and sounds like you'll get a nice little return on it - this thing will fly out the door when it's all done. Nice one Lee!

Never been a huge fan of Vauxhall but i bought one of these as a cheap run around, 59 plate ex rental car with 100k miles on it, had it for 6 years put another 60k on it and was ridiculously reliable, so much so i've got a 16 plate one atm, great little cars in my experience.

good cars when they are right but boy do they give some headaches,great video,warts and all

I’ve noticed these get very noisey chains when oil is low (obvious reason) top them up and they’re sweet. As they leak commonly it’s no wonder they get noisier.

Thanks for this video update on the white Vauxhall Corsa ! N.B. I too remember the aftermarket Door Protectors obtainable from Halfords etc having fitted them, a dark brown set, to the doors of my 1st Car, an October 1981 D.V.L.A. registered, Russet Brown, Austin Maxi 2L 1748 c.c. single carburettor version with Vehicle Registration Mark ( V.R.M. ) FFG 212X & the aftermarket Anti-Static Static Electricity Conducting Strips hanging from the rears of cars too ! 37•5 years ago when I bought this car in September 1985 for £1450 cash from my mate Mick's father, in my hometown in northern West Sussex !

Seems like a real bargain, well found Lee. Remember, those door protectors used to come in white too. Careful prising out and a little touch up, it should look great.

Great stuff as normal Lee 👍👍

Good buy and as you said excellent sellers , wise decision changing timing chain, always an issue with these cars . Good luck Lee 👍

Good video again buddy x

Nice video mate. And now starting to get sponsors

Keep us updated on this one Lee😊

Great “pt.2” on the Corsa, Lee - I reckon the only reason she was sent through the Auction was the noisy chain on warm, but why would the brakes be tearing themselves apart? 2,495 is not an unfair price,so a few beers in it for ya ! Keep ‘em comin’ JCHK

Good city car!

Lassa tyres are pretty good, midrange rather than budget. Made in Turkey by Bridgestone using their previous years compound and tread pattern, so do well in testing I had them for years back in the day when I couldn’t afford premium 👍🏼

That Corsa has got Astra van mk4 sportive alloys on … someone was a tight arse on the wheels

As soon as you mentioned the door protectors from the olden days I instantly remembered those weird static things that used to trail on the floor.,,! I hope this brings you a tidy a sum, how’s the the c4 engine coming along?

I owned a 1998 Corsa that I bought for £125 scrappa 10 years ago got it back on the road ran it for 6 years sold it for £500 with 130,000 on the clock & the bloke I sold it to ran it for donkeys years always a mistake getting rid of that motor

Fantastic 👍

Have you ever tried Ellesmere Port Motor Auctions at all, not all that far from you. Another superb video mate, please keep them coming..

Good honest assessment and good to see the issues all being listed to be dealt with before sale. The timing chain seems to be a common issue on these cars. Would have expected better from GM / Opel. Great channel

Hii lee very informative. These cars sell like hot cakes.

These are good cars to sell but they used to suffer with water getting in the ECU,i had it happen to one of mine,done allsorts of strange things,but even after getting it fixed i still made a good profit.

Interesting video, I have a 2013 Corsa 1.2 SXI which has just had the ABS pump replaced ( another common fault on these cars) Cost £400 pound for the part alone before labour. It's only done 49,000 miles. Looks tidier than your car on the bodywork and interior. I only use it as a runaround to work and the shops which are not far away. I'm wondering now whether to get rid of it judging from the big bill I have just paid, or hang on to it a bit longer.

Hey Lee, what is it with parcel shelves? My son brought a 4 year old fiesta from car giant and it was missing one, they did post one to him after purchase, free from Ford. Glad your busy, buying the motors so looking forward to new vids. Nice to see your channel growing, 15k subs next week? Ps. Citroen pt 3? 🤞

It's a pity about the crease in the door apart from that it's a tidy car for that price range ideal first car for someone

Just a question, would a car fail an MOT with a bend like that on the door because of sharp edges? Or is that only where someone would likely graze themself

As Arthur Daley used to say: "A nice little earner".

Evening Lee my Mondeo EO11ARX is in the Manheim 10 o clock auction tomorrow, in Birmingham I was hoping to watch it go through, say by to it. Bad news spoke to Manheim, it's trade only, they won't even let me know what it goes for. If you are on this site, could you let me know what it goes for please? It's worth a bid, i just got a Ford Kuga

For anyone buying a Corsa of this era buy the 1.2 version as the 1.4 is awful its actually slower than the 1.2 and has head gasket issues , Vauxhall never the best at QC anymore sadly

Ive never really had Vauxhalls but have just bought a 2008 1.6 Zafira which has only done 83k for £1k as a cheap runabout. What are they like overall ? If i am to keep it i would want a full service done on it but at the moment im unsure as ive always been a Ford man

Has to be worth £2495 not been greedy there at all, someone probably try and get £100 at least of it for a well sorted 11 plate Corsa , infact Lee I wouldn't take a penny less than 2400 , someone will definitely have peace of mind with 12 MOT no doubt your giving with it.

At least I know now a Corsa is easy to get rid off
