The actual button to open the boot has a habit of leaking water and making the locking system go completely bonkers, that could be what's gone wrong there. As for the antihijacking switch, it stays lit for a few moments whilst the immobiliser arms itself if you press the key, but usually...

I know that pain! My driveway is almost the same, tried to jack my car up to take a wheel off so I could gain access to the fog light once and the more I turned the handle the more the bottom of the jack just went into the ground and the car stayed where it was!

I learnt in a 1.0 Corsa C, and a 1.3TD Corsa D. Liked the older one, wasn't really impressed by the newer one. Passed my test and went into driving my K11, then wrote it off, bought my K12 and here we are! Mind you've I've had a spin in a number of cars, mostly nissans or small hatchbacks but...

Switching between cars is always a pain! I learnt in a vauxhall and whilst I was fine with the reverse gears, I never used to like beating the crap out of the 1.3TD as my 1.3 K11 had power all in the low revs! And much the other way around, I used to drive my K11 with an iron fist, with no power...

This one tried to cut me up coming off a slip road. Apparently I had a bit more go in my Sport+ but it was pretty cool :)

Just seen my first K12 March, in an icky beige-y green-y cream-y colour, pretty low, but also pretty dirty.

I believe the K12 dashboard, if it's the same as the one in my sport+ has an orange colour to the semi-transparent bits that light up. So if you put any other lights behind them it will still glow orange (or some messed up hue to that effect), I suspect however that the facelift ones (maybe...

I had a phase of working out my MPG on every fill up with the K11, and it averaged near enough 43mpg on the dot every time, but I never drove it very hard and I found out after I broke it that the fuel gauge was actually broken and when registering below the red actually had a lot of fuel left...

My one was the stereo controls on it but they haven't worked since I put my aftermarket head unit in as it doesn't have the right connectors... :'(

Yeah my Sport+ and my Mum's Activ both have leather wheels (though mine's pretty much fallen apart now, god knows what the previous owner did to it) so if you can find one in a scrappy, I can't see any reason why it wouldn't fit.

It's really inconvenient when you have to go somewhere and arrive back in a cloud of smoke or steam though!

My petrol K12 likes to notify me it's ready for a fluid change by spewing the appropriate one all over my driveway. Much to my dad's distaste :P

It's paint for those who don't like commitment!

It would be awesome though, as of now, 200cc, some blue paint and a Sport+ badge on the back is all that sets my car apart from my mums K12, and insuring myself on that is about £400ish cheaper! Theiving bastards!

My insurance rewnewal has just gone out! £1,750 for the feggin' Sport+ which is a crazy high group for no reason. Still, have promised myself that I've just one year left of it before I get something new and exciting!

I spotted that, maybe it's an anti-theft measure... That or he's taken driving on the edge to a whole new level: Driving on the edge of the passenger seat :P

He's answering the question as to wether it's a manual or an auto, and then commenting on his distaste for automatics :)

When I was driving around with empty pockets and trying to make every drop of fuel last, I think I just scraped 45mpg, this was a while ago. Getting significantly less now I've started wringing it's neck a bit :P

I had a badger bash mine at 60mph and it took the motors out, allowing all the washer fluid to pour out the bottom (*sigh*) I had to slacken off the wing, get the headlight out, take the wheel and wheel arch lining out, to put it all back in properly. Then had to do it all over again when I...

It might just be the photo, but are those black dials? Look awesome in comparison to the white ones!
