Vauxhall Corsa 09 Plate Removing Gear Stick Knob
Hi I currently own a Vauxhall Corsa, 09 plate, which has developed a defect with the gear stick knob. I have attached a link to a picture I took of the defect to help explain it better:
Hopefully you will be able to see that the silver rim, under the 2nd gear marking has started to come away. Consequently every time I go to change gear it feels rough on my hand. I am looking to get this replaced but I really don't know where to start - do I need to replace the whole gear stick, just the knob or does the top that the displays the gear layout just come off as a cap?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Looks like just the cap. Try prising it up with a screwdriver. If it lifts up, you can just replace that.0

Do you know where I could obtain a replacement cap from? I have had a very quick look on Ebay but there doesn't seem to be any listed that are suitable for my car? However maybe I am searching for the wrong key words, is their an official name for these caps?
Thanks again!0 -

Go onto one of the Vauxhall owners websites for the optimum information."There are not enough superlatives in the English language to describe a 'Princess Coronation' locomotive in full cry. We shall never see their like again". O S Nock0
