Had mine 7 months now, with 2400 miles covered
expenditure so far -
week 1 - remove corsa exhaust and re-fit factory exhaust, reset engine management light (light was on due to leaking exhaust/failed MIL eliminator) parts £0 - labour £50 mates rates
week 2 - fan motor & relay burnt out. cost of parts approx £200. labour £0 (replaced myself)
front number plate bracket approx £60
new foglight (old lens cracked) approx £75
new fusebox cover approx £15
new dustcaps with logo's £20
rounded off wheelnut cost £10 to have removed
month 6 - leaking oil cooler lines, parts £200 labour £30
car is also booked in for a front bumper repaint 8th Dec to get rid of stone chips £350
approx £1000 total, less £250 from sale of the Corsa exhaust = £750
Am I still happy with the car? you bet!

Haha yes that can be crossed off now, Mark did his finest and we were victorious! The seal was changed...with the help of a carpet removal tool, which is NOT stated in the handbook!! 
FYI, anyone attempting to change oil switch or sender...give yourself patience. Well done Sir Mark!
Now about that wheel bearing...
