If i wanted a mechanic to do the job then why did i post here?!?!

If you dont know about this car then dont post here!

Maybe I sounded stupid that i cant even change spark plugs! This is only for this particular car(corsa1.2 52reg), like i said the cover just wont come off. The last ten cars i've owned, i do most of the servicing by myself which inc, brake discs, pads, oils, etc, and I DO KNOW how to change spark plugs.... even my wrx02!

BTW, thanks to ANDYM3, I will look into that recommeded site.

1 x Gallon of petrol dropped in the proximity of the interior.

1 x Match

Should do the trick.

OK, got it now, been on CORSA-C|UK - Powered by vBulletin

Why didnt i think of sliding it out?! I actually didnt slide the cover because the oil filler cap was in the way and never thought vx would have designed it that way!!!
What i did was trying to lift it!

OK guys, my shopping car will be happy now with new sparkies!!!

I love my standard plain and simple 1.2 corsa! It's so easy when I go to tesco shopping! I can park anywhere without worrying about anyone door denting my car.

Why dont you stick the match in your fuel filler hole!!!

S'not what your mother said.

Allegedly her butt plug is sooo big it took 3 months to commission & another 7 months to build.
