engine

Hi all
I have a vauxhall corsa (1999) and I find that the engine takes about 10m to warm up each morning, the car also drives very slow and losses speed when driving up hills and the orange engine warning light often comes on.

I want to sell it but want to have the car sorted out first, does anyone know what may be wrong with it?

As the car is at this time will effect your selling price, I would get the car Dio checked, they will find out in Mins whats the problem and mabey sort it for you, Regards the light, there Could be a bad connection there, Does the car use Water. Oil? Does it blow out Light Blue smoke If so, indicating a worn Engine, What has the car done mileage wise? When was it last serviced? (A lot of Questions!!!!! this is the way to find the problem.

Regarding the slow warm up, it is probably the thermostat.

Vauxhalls of that age are notorious for over cooling.

I bet you get loads of mayonnaise under the filler cap.

Hi
the car has done 76k mileage and I have not had it serviced since I bought the car 18months ago.
I will get it checked out asap

Thanks for your advice

Theres only one thing wrong with your car, the nut behind the steering wheel!

All cars have to be serviced !
