kwalker705 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Well since the purchase of a celica today the corsa is no longer required and it needs a new home its a 2001 Y-reg GLS. 3 door. MOT till may Tax till end of october. Mileage just passed 100k miles The car has served me very well for the past 12 months. I bought it with no compression on cylinder 2 (which turned out to be a broken valve) The next day i threw in a newer,lower mileage engine and its ran perfectly since. It was serviced a few months back with new oil,filter,air filter,spark plugs. Last year it got a new coil pack. For the MOT in may it got a new front spring and a new wishbone on the front. For me the car was perfect apart from the low power. Its group 1 insurance,cheap to run and insure,cheap on fuel. Only real issues to report are that the engine light came on a while back. The code was for a crankshaft position sensor. Apparently this is common on these engines as its a plastic tensioner on the timing chain and it wears slightly causing the sensor to throw a code and illuminate the light. The car still drives fine and it doesnt seem to affect driveability at all. anyway. I'm after £900 for the car heres some pics. Let me know if your interested... car located in aberdeen scotland......delivery may manage to be arranged too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyson Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 What was the mileage of the new engine? And what engine size is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwalker705 Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 the engine is a 1.0 12v......sorry i thought I'd put that in the advert. Glad you've pointed out I didnt . I'm trying to rack my brains and paperwork for the exact mileage on the engine when I bought it but I can't find the exact figures. If my memory is right the mileage was roughly 70k on the new engine. (it was in the high 60k region but I'm gona stick with 70k to be on the safe side) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
