    The Corsa problem solver

    I had tried all the options - turning while pushing down, steering locked and unlocked before pushing down etc. It just seems that the "latch mechanism" is absent or damaged, and the spring is too strong. I even tried a drop of superglue (on the extreme right, outside of the barrel shaft)...

    Hi Dimpie Thank you for trying to assist .. I have left if for next weekend but if it persists I will (as per one of the UK forums' advice) have to get a complete new steering column - hopefully from a breaker's yard.

    There is probably multiple 1000s years' cumulative experience on Corsa B, Corsa Lite, Corsa C and the Utility based on the Corsa B and C represented on this forum. Surely somebody somewhere has had this issue before and found a solution or someone assisted to devise an innovative workaround?

    I'm in Pretoria Since this "tab" has to do with the steering lock, I'm even willing to - if it is possible - completely remove it and not have a steering lock. I have enough other security options ...

    Ignition barrel replacement issue: The "instructions" indicate that I must push down UNTIL IT CLICKS some slide mechanism before inserting the new barrel. I can push down as much as I want, the slide mechanism does not click into place to stay down. Advice please as I now have the new...

    Corsa lite 14.

    I had a dieseling issue on my 1400 Utility (same engine as the Lite) and after a period stretching into years I eventually discovered that one of the fuel injectors was dirty to the extent that it didn't "atomise" the fuel but just delivered a stream of fuel into the cylinder. This caused...

    Are renewables the answer to SA's energy crisis?
