  1. More #maintenance of #Vauxhall / #Opel #CorsaC

    Replaced rear fog light bulb (bumper part dismantled, water tipped out, lampholder cleaned up then reassembled), fitted new horn.

    New fuel filter, first time I've done this myself (not fun, had to crawl underneath in awkward position and avoid petrol being spilled out from old filter, self tapping holding screw goosed (fully rounded off), replaced with new one with bolt head

    Fitted air filter, intake hoses have to be removed ( #bladibarsket ) so also cleaned up #throttlebody.

    Went to ASDA (in my GTI, Corsa still doesn't have tax or insurance), filled up 5 litre #petrol can, topped up tank with new fuel

    Still got coolant, sparkplugs and oil to change, but #car now running a lot better (no more rough idle)
