Condemned to a Corsa - AlastairW
For reasons too boring to go into I am forced to drive a Corsa C all weekend.
It is the Comfort model, but it is proving rather uncomfortable at the mo, cos I can't work out how to change the position of the steering wheel. Is it possible to adjust the wheel rake on this model? Grateful thanks if someone can tell me how.

Unless someone replies before I get chance to look, I'll take a look in my electronic copy of the Corsa-C handbook later and post the info on where the adjuster is (if fitted)

Alastair,

Looks like it's an optional extra - no idea if the Comfort trim level has it or not.

If it has, then there should be a pull down lever just under the ignition key. But it's only for up and down adjustment. No telescopic adjustment for reach.

Dear Dynamic Dave, I wish to change the wheels and tyres on our 2005 Corsa Design from the present 185/55R15 to maybe 165/70/R13 with comfort tyres because of my back. Do the 13's have different rim sizes ?( I think they're 5.5 inches) Any other probs. or suggestions ? Geriatric Jeremy

Geriatric Jeremy, sorry but I am unable to provide an answer.

Anyone else care to try?

I think I can help here.
The 13's are a 13" rim whereas the 15's are a 15" rim.
The 165 will also be narrower than the 185.
You will lose most of the value of your car if you go ahead with this because cars are very difficult to sell unless they have 255/35 19" rims with nobs on.

If he sticks the 15's back on when time comes to sell it'll be fine
