Title: Corsa before and after pics.
Post by: Field Marshal Dr. Opti on 01 May 2014, 19:35:21
This looks better. A paltry £3.94 for the Guttman filter (delivered free from Euro Car Parts) and a shit load of swearing finally ended in success. :y :y

Corsa old filter. :(

Absolute rubbish job Opti, stands out like a sore thumb, you could have painted brown or something, so blends in with the rest of the rust on the car.  ::)

It showed up as an advisory at the last MOT, but it wasn't pissing petrol then.

Advisory: You will soon be degreasing the carriageways with the contents of your fuel tank?
