    Default Most gutting moment during nova ownership?

    Wondering what calamitys people have had whilst owning their novas? I think the worse one for me is when I took my mint Sri seats out of my old loon and put them in my corsa whilst I was working on it. Sold the corsa to a friend and told him I wanted the seats back when he was free. Ended up getting the car impounded and crushed with the seats in it.

    Whoa; what caused that?

    - For me a few; all involving offs due to oversteer (3 in total). Breaking 3rd gear sucked in the current xe. Back when I had a 1.4 8V; rocker followers breaking & driving home on 3 cylinders.

    I hope this is an old story Benn and not something that's happened recently?
