My moto when buyin consummables 4 my car ie oil, filters, Tyres, wiper blades, bulbs etc is buy the best u can afford... Most after market motor factor parts will do the job ok, sum folk r just a bit snobby and insist on payin thru the nose 4 dealer parts... Spend more time in the corsa forum than u do in here and u'll learn more about ur car... * +
